Computer Engineering
Computer engineering lies at the intersection of hardware and software, powering the computing systems and intelligent devices that drive modern innovation. From microprocessors and embedded systems to computer architecture, automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity, computer engineers design, develop, integrate, and optimize hardware-software solutions that impact nearly every industry.
At Texas Tech, the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering emphasizes hands-on, project-based learning through a structured sequence of design laboratories and real-world applications. Students graduate with a strong foundation in theory, practical experience in modern technologies, and the skills needed to innovate, adapt, and lead in a rapidly evolving engineering landscape.

Degree & Course DetailsAccelerated B.S. to M.S. in Computer Engineering
Texas Tech’s Accelerated B.S. to M.S. in Computer Engineering gives high-achieving students with strong preparation in electrical and computer engineering a faster path to advanced graduate study. Qualified majors begin graduate coursework in their senior year, building advanced skills in areas like computer architecture, embedded systems, hardware–software integration, and cybersecurity while they finish the BS.
Students typically apply to the accelerated Computer Engineering pathway in their junior year. Graduates of the MS in Computer Engineering are prepared for roles such as systems engineer, embedded systems developer, hardware design engineer, or other advanced technical positions in industry, research labs, or further graduate study.
Accelerated B.S. in Computer Engineering to M.S. in Bioengineering
Computer Engineering students may also choose to accelerate into the M.S. in Bioengineering. In this pathway, approved Bioengineering graduate courses taken in the senior year count toward both the B.S. and the M.S., creating a streamlined route into interdisciplinary biomedical engineering that connects engineering, medicine, and the life sciences.
The M.S. in Bioengineering offers thesis and non-thesis options and prepares graduates for research and development roles in biomedical engineering or for further advanced study. Graduates of the MS in Bioengineering are prepared for roles such as biomedical engineer, medical device or diagnostics developer, research engineer in healthcare or biotech, or for continued study in doctoral programs focused on health-related innovation.
