Computer Engineering - Mercer University Main Campus - Macon GA

Computer Engineering from Mercer University Main Campus - Macon GA is a Campus Bachelor Computer Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. What is Computer Engineering? Computer engineering is a rapidly expanding field. This growth is fueled by the progress in semiconductor chip size and speed. The amount of memory available on a single chip has quadrupled each three years for over two decades. Processor and logic chips are not far behind in this growth pattern. This has led to an astonishing increase in the power of computers, especially at the low cost end of the spectrum. As a consequence, computers are found "embedded" in the design of everything from household appliances to automobiles. The growth in chip capacity also leads to the ability to put a lot of software on just one or two chips. Consequently, these embedded, low-cost computers are capable of running more and more complex software. That drives computer engineering programs to include not only modern programmable chip based hardware design, but also modern software design methodology in anticipation of the implementation of more and more complex software on even cheaper systems. As the Internet expands, local communication capability between computers is also expanding. Consequently, in addition to the fundamental hardware and software design components of a computer engineering program, the computer communications/telecommunications component is dramatically rising in importance.
