FINGER WITH COMPUTER PART We live in a world drawn ever closer together by the instantaneous exchange of ideas and information — and computer engineers have helped make it happen. From giant multinational telecommunications networks to the tiny hand-held devices that tap into them, computer engineers design and build the hardware and software systems that run the global marketplace.

THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A HOT CAREER. A recent USNews & World Report counts computer engineering among its “20 Hot Job Tracks,” identifying professionals in this field as a "white-hot commodity."

THREE FOR ONE. You can combine your major in electrical engineering and still have room for a minor in another area — such as philosophy, physics, math or even business — all in five years and without summer school.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR STUDIES. Choose from a wide variety of electives to develop deeper expertise in at least one of the computer engineering areas of software engineering, hardware engineering, computer applications and intelligent systems.

BUILD THIS...OR SOMETHING BASED ON IT. Concentrate your studies in intelligent systems and you will study systems inspired by the neural workings of the human brain, still the world's most complex computer.
