The computer, including software and hardware,
is the central theme in both computer engineering and computer
science. In computer engineering, it’s architecture, and the
software that drives it. Computer engineering then goes off
one side to include a strong emphasis on the engineering of
the hardware, while computer science goes the other way toward
the more theoretical and mathematical aspects of computation.
The curriculum is in four stages that
correspond to the four years of study. The first year is basic
sciences and mathematics, for these are the foundations of all
areas of study at Rose-Hulman. The second year is the
engineering sciences that undergird all of engineering. The
third year concentrates on topics in computer engineering to
provide a breadth across the whole field from algorithms and
data structures to embedded digital systems. The final year
includes a major team-based design project and a number of
electives.

Area Electives
An area elective course is
1. Any course bearing an ECE or CSSE prefix at
the 300 level or above.
2. A course in another discipline agreed to by
the student and his or her academic advisor as being
appropriate to the student’s program of study. Normally only
one non-ECE courses will be allowed as an area elective.
3. At least one course must be taken at the
400 level or above.
Restricted Elective
Restricted electives are CSSE 230, ECE 310, or PH 405.
Notes
1. MA 351-356 Problem Solving Seminar may not
be combined and substituted for the math elective.
2. CPE majors are not permitted to take ECE
206 Elements of Electrical Engineering I, ECE 207 Elements of
Electrical Engineering II, or Military Science or Air Science
as free electives. Free electives may be selected from
any other R-HIT courses.
