Computer Systems Engineering Program
The study of Computer Systems Engineering centres around the design, analysis and implementation of engineering systems that have computers as components. A Computer Systems Engineer is one who can combine advanced software and hardware to build such systems, subject to economic and performance constraints. The Computer Systems Engineering program aims to provide students with an excellent foundation in the principles, methods, computer tools and elements of professional practice for this purpose.
At Carleton University, students following the program in Computer Systems Engineering will take courses from the Departments of Electronics and Systems and Computer Engineering. Information on courses offered in the program may be obtained in the calendar sections for those two departments.
Students in the final three years in the Computer Systems Engineering program at Carleton University build upon the broad background in engineering developed in the common core program of the first year. While the Third and Fourth years have some commonality with the Electrical Engineering program, Computer Sys
tems engineers concentrate primarily on digital logic, computer systems organization and design, and communications systems and software engineering. In addition, students may take a number of electives either to broaden their background or to provide further specialized knowledge in the areas of telecommunications, systems engineering, and microelectronics.
Suggested Engineering Electives
88.453*, 91.266*
Any Third- or Fourth-year course numbered 94.xxx*or 97.xxx* for which the prerequisite and other noted constraints are satisfied.
Computer Systems Co-operative Education Option
The Department of Systems and Computer Engineering offers a Co-operative Education Option for eligible students. Upon satisfactory completion of the option, students will receive the designation B.Eng. (Co-operative Education Option) on their transcripts. For details, refer to the Co-operative Education section on p. 90.
