Quarter Curriculum - For Reference Only
Effective fall 2013, RIT will convert its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. The following content has been made available as reference only. Currently matriculated students who began their academic programs in quarters should consult their academic adviser for guidance and course selection.
Computer engineering is an interdisciplinary field that involves the study and application of software, hardware, and systems. This minor exposes students to the fundamentals of computer engineering and provides a foundation for the exploration of specialized subjects in computer engineering upper-level courses and professional electives.
