MSU Computer Engineering students not only acquire a solid foundation
in computer engineering theory, they also have the opportunity to apply that knowledge to real world settings. The hands-on, project-based approach used by MSU faculty gives students the chance to work on cutting-edge technology from microrobots to supercomputers.

MSU engineering graduates have successful careers in aerospace, bio-medical systems, energy and electric power, environmental research and development, embedded systems, semi-conductors, and telecommunications, to name only a few.
