The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department takes a human-centric approach to research and education, with a focus on applications in speech processing, medical imaging, bio-photonics, computer-integrated surgery, renewable energy, human inspired electronic systems for perception and cognition, and other cutting-edge technologies that address real-world problems. Our courses cover wide-ranging topics in three broad areas: signal, systems, and control; electro-physics; and computational systems.

Mission

The Computer Engineering Program at Johns Hopkins is supported by faculty in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Computer Science, who are committed to providing a rigorous educational experience that prepares students for further study and to professionally and ethically practice engineering in a competitive global environment. The mission of the program is to provide students with a broad, integrated education in the fundamentals and advanced topics in computer engineering, basic sciences, mathematics, and humanities in an environment that fosters the development of analytical, computational, and experimental skills, and that involves students in design projects and research experiences; and to provide our computer engineering graduates with the tools, skills and competencies necessary to understand and apply today’s technologies and become leaders in developing and deploying tomorrow’s technologies.

ECE Focus Areas for Undergraduate Studies

ECE Students have a lot of flexibility as it relates to their studies. They have the ability to craft a program that is as broad or as specific as they wish. Students who want to deepen their knowledge can do so in seven different areas of the discipline. They are: 

  1. Computing Systems
  2. Integrated Circuits and Microsystems
  3. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
  4. Medical Imaging
  5. Photonics and Optoelectronics
  6. Robotics
  7. Signals, Systems, and Communication

​Classes that fall under each category can be found here.

The information below describes the academic requirements for students entering JHU as degree-seeking students in Fall 2025.  Students who entered JHU as degree-seeking students prior to Fall 2025 should view the appropriate archived catalogue.

Students must meet the University requirements and the Whiting School of Engineering requirements (see Requirements for a Bachelor's Degree in this catalogue), as well as the departmental major requirements, to complete a bachelor’s degree.

  • The Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering requires 126 credits.  
  • The ECE department recognizes students with exemplary academic records by awarding Departmental Honors to students with a Grade Point Average of 3.50 or higher in courses used to satisfy the  Computer Engineering Requirements. CE Honors are awarded only to students whose primary major is Computer Engineering.

UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS

These requirements are described in this section of the catalogue. 

WSE SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS

The total number of required credits may vary depending on whether courses from the Other Engineering Advanced Lab list are also applied to the Other Engineering Courses requirement.

A maximum of 6 credits of Customized Academic Learning (CAL) may be applied toward either the ECE/CS Electives requirement or the Other Engineering Courses requirement. CAL coursework from Electrical Engineering (EN.520) or Computer Science (EN.601) may only be applied toward the ECE/CS Electives requirement.

Accreditation Statement

The B.S. in Computer Engineering degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and similarly Named Engineering Programs. 

Program Educational Objectives

The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) for computer engineering (CE) at the Johns Hopkins University describe what CE graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation. The PEOs are determined in consultation with the Electrical and Computer Engineering External Advisory Committee and approved by the ECE faculty.

The educational objectives of the CE program are:

  • Our graduates will become successful practitioners or innovators in engineering and other diverse careers.
  • Some graduates will pursue advanced degree programs in engineering and other disciplines.

Student Outcomes

Students graduating with a B.S. in computer engineering will have demonstrated:

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
  5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
