Computer Engineering (CpE)

Overview

Computer Engineers help design and develop computer architectures, medical sensors, control systems in automotives, and implement factory systems testing and automation. Many tasks in this ever-evolving industry require the combined knowledge of hardware and software. Computer Engineers fill this need.

Computer Engineers are specialists in computer system design, with background in both electrical engineering and computer science. Their knowledge of digital hardware, software, and electronics design and implementation distinguishes them from computer scientists. MECOP interns focused on Computer Engineering develop skills in computer architecture, microprocessor systems, FPGA design, security, multimedia, and more.

Internship History

Active Company Participants

The following participating companies have taken CpE students in the recent past (within the last 5 years):

Student Participation

Participating Universities

MECOP currently accepts Computer Engineering students from the following universities:

• Oregon State University
• Oregon Tech
• Portland State University

Internship Timeframes

The following timeframes have been laid out by our participating universities for when an internship should be offered. These timeframes have been structured to allow students to participate in the program and not fall behind on their upper-division coursework schedule beyond the terms that internships overlap.

Coursework Requirements

Each participating university discipline has a set of required courses that must be taken to stay on schedule for program participation. These requirements are optimized to provide the necessary skills to participate in MECOP's internships while minimizing the amount of time added to receiving a degree. If you are a student and want to discuss your current academic qualifications and to plan out your curriculum for participation, please see our directory of advisors.
