About Computer Engineering Technology
Why Computer Engineering Technology (CET)?
Think about how many times a day you use technology to perform a task - banking, downloading music, and communicating with your friends. It takes specialized skills to design and implement the software and hardware that power our world. That's where a computer degree comes in.
From iPods to cell phones to defense-related equipment, computer engineering technologists create advanced electronics in all areas of the research, manufacturing, medical, communications, security and consumer products markets. In fact, computer degree holders, particularly those in computer engineering technology, are expected to see a dramatic increase in job prospects through 2007.
Earn your bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering Technology from DeVry and be at the forefront of new design and development of computer technology now and in the future.
