Computer Engineering Technology Degree Program


Technology has become a part of our everyday lives. We use it for downloading music, playing games, getting information, communicating, banking, and more. At DeVry University, you can earn a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering Technology (CET) at one of our campus locations, and you'll learn how to design and implement the software and hardware that makes these technological advancements possible. In addition you have the option of earning your degree online with our bachelor's degree in Engineering Technology-Computers (ET-C). Whether you decide to enroll online or on campus, qualified practitioner faculty will teach your classes, and you'll have regular opportunities for collaboration and interaction with classmates. Upon graduation, you'll have the skills to create advanced electronics like iPods®, cell phones, and defense-related equipment, and work in research, manufacturing, medical, communications, security, and consumer products markets.

At DeVry University, you have the option of taking all or some** of your Engineering Technology courses online. Whether online or on campus, qualified practitioner faculty will teach your classes, and you'll have regular opportunities for collaboration and interaction with classmates.

Biomedical Engineering Technology Courses

 

Focusing on applying concepts and skills to real-world situations, DeVry's BMET curriculum may include these career-enhancing courses:

  • Introduction to Bioengineering – Students in this course analyze biological and biomedical problems using fundamental concepts and tools, including electrodes, biopotential measurements, electrocardiogram equipment, pacemakers, defibrillators, and ultrasonics. Applications of engineering in medicine and healthcare are introduced and focus on acquiring, monitoring, and analyzing biological signals.
  • Biomedical Instrumentation Systems – This course covers principles of medical instrumentation, and includes study of medical diagnostic instruments as well as techniques for measuring physiological variables in living systems. Product liability and safety issues are also discussed.
  • Computer Techniques in Medical Imaging – In this course, students use computer tools to design and implement data and image acquisition, as well as analysis systems in biomedical environments. The physics of producing images in applications such as X-ray, computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonic imaging are covered.
  • Signal Processing – After exploring analog signal processing (ASP) and digital signal processing (DSP), students in this lab course will program ASP and DSP chips for applications in communications, control systems, digital audio processing, and digital image processing.
  • Microprocessor Interfacing Introducing microprocessor interfacing to peripheral devices, this course covers basic input/output operations and specific peripheral devices, including A/Ds, D/As, keyboards, displays, and serial and parallel communication channels. Software (high-level and assembly) and hardware aspects of these devices are developed.
