Computer Engineering
Controlling the Future
Computer engineering is the design, development and integration of software and hardware into intelligent systems.
The U of S Advantage
Like all programs in our college, the first year is a common year. After that, you can choose your preferred disciplines and the second, third and fourth years are spent learning a specialty in those areas.
Our faculty consists of experts in many areas of electrical and computer engineering. Opportunities exist to participate in their research programs. The Department hosts the Barhold Chair of Information Technology, the Canada Research Chair of Material Science and the Canada Research Chair in Micro & Nano Device Fabrication.
Career Opportunities
As a computer engineering graduate, you will have many job opportunities. Some of those job opportunities will involve:
- creating high-tech products like iPods, digital TVs and security scanners,
- developing satellite-based communication systems, wireless networks and devices that compries the Internet,
- designing robotic equipment for everything from medicine to mining,
- working for industry-leading companies like Apple, Electronic Arts, RIM and Google,
- and designing and building international products for companies like Cisco networks while living in Saskatchewan.
Getting Involved
Join the student chapter of the Institute for Electrical & Electronics Engineers which hosts many functions during the year such as the High Voltage Classic road hockey tournament to raise money for charity, the big brother, little brother Christmas dinner and a job-hunting field trip to Calgary. This outstanding group regularly wins regional and national awards and repeatedly raises more money for charity than any similar group in Canada.
You may also participate in the Saskatoon Engineering Students’ Society which organizes college-wide events, the student chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers, and SPARC—a group of third- and fourth-year students who offer laboratory help to fellow students.
