Lehigh’s Computer Engineering undergraduate program offers students a rigorous curriculum and exciting opportunities to work with their professors on challenging and engaging research projects.

Computer Engineering students learn to design and analyze complex systems, work in teams with their peers to develop digital systems and software, and solve real-world problems by creatively applying the fundamental principles of system design.

Lehigh’s Computer Engineering faculty maintain research projects in interconnected networks, computer architecture, multimedia, processor design, embedded systems, computer arithmetic, digital signal processing, software engineering, computer graphics, Internet technologies, and computer vision. Computer Engineering undergraduates play an active role in these projects through internships and research opportunities where they learn by designing hardware and software solutions with direct applicability to industry needs.

Computer Engineering vs. Computer Science

Is there a difference? Computer Engineering focuses more on hardware, while Computer Science focuses more on software. In particular, the Lehigh curriculum in Computer Engineering has a balance of electrical engineering and computer science courses.
