The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering serves the community, the State of New Jersey, and the nation by educating engineers, expanding knowledge, and developing new methods and capabilities for solving complex technological problems through innovation and cutting-edge research in various disciplines of Computer Engineering.  The mission includes a commitment to preparing students for professional and research activities with an ability to learn independently, for work within a global economy within a diverse multi-cultural environment over a spectrum of careers, enabling them to become global leaders in their respective fields. The programs of the Department are continually reviewed and revised to prepare engineers to meet the nation’s changing needs and requirements.

The Computer Engineering program mission statement is aligned with that of the Newark College of Engineering as indicated by service to the community, the state of New Jersey, and the nation.

The undergraduate curricula are designed to prepare graduates for entry level positions as computer engineers in industry, advanced graduate study and research, life-long professional development and they are designed to provide faculty-student interaction that will help a diverse student population to become better citizens.  The programs include instruction in mathematics, in the basic sciences, in the humanities, and in the fundamental principles of engineering.  Students also have an opportunity to obtain specialized training and obtain practical design experience in one of several areas of concentration in Computer Engineering, thus providing students with the state of the art knowledge needed to accomplish their goals in the profession.

The educational objectives were developed in a manner cognizant of our constituents: the student, industry, and the faculty. The CoE program objectives were developed over a longer period of time, culminating in an all-day retreat in April 2006 attended by ECE faculty. In addition, the objectives were reviewed and revised by the SAB and IAB. The CoE objectives were finely tuned using a strong review and through interaction with faculty to determine the course objectives.
