Careers
Graduates of WSU’s computer engineering program have designed new Intel processors, avionics for space vehicles, and breakthrough medical products. Some serve as executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders of many high-tech industries, particularly those in microprocessors and computing, such as Intel, Microsoft, and Hewlett-Packard.
Employers seek graduates with computer application skills in the traditional engineering fields, computer and data processing skills, and hardware and software development.
In 2020, the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics projected a 6% growth through 2028. This growth is due to the continuous use of computer-driven devices in common and new applications.
