Graduate Certificate in Computer Systems Engineering

The undergraduate certificate program in Computer Systems Engineering is designed to give undergraduates the opportunity to document their educational achievement at the interface of engineering and computer science. The program will be open to all UGA undergraduate students but will be of special interest to students who wish to combine both a theoretical and practical understanding of computer science and engineering systems.

Computer Systems Engineering involves the design and implementation of computer hardware and software systems to solve problems. The understanding of both software and hardware allows the computer systems engineer to view the design and development of hardware and software as two intimately linked parts of one activity. Advances in semiconductor technology have led to a decrease in chip size while increasing processor speeds. As a consequence, microcomputers are embedded into products such as automobiles, home appliances and industrial controls. The growth in computer-related technologies has led to a need in industry for professionals who have knowledge of basic electrical engineering concepts of circuits, electronics and digital systems and a foundation in computer science.

The undergraduate certificate program in Computer Systems Engineering requires at least 18 semester hours of course work in engineering and computer science. The requirements include at least 15 hours in engineering and computer science electives and a 3-hour computer systems engineering design course. The 15 hours of engineering and computer science electives must be outside the student’s major department and be approved by the student’s CSEE undergraduate advisor. Design is the heart of the practice of engineering and is what separates it from its sister disciplines. It is the engineering design component that unites engineering and computer science into computer systems engineering. With a large number of electives available, the student may tailor the program to meet his or her needs. Thus the program will likely be attractive to students with a variety of interests.
