Throughout the program, you will be exposed to fundamental knowledge areas in Computer Engineering Technology which include:

  • Digital logic and digital systems design using Verilog and other languages
  • Architecture and design of computing systems involving FPGA and Microprocessor devices
  • Project Management
  • Networking and Data Communications
  • Lower level software and scripting in languages such as C/C++ and Python

Internships and Co-ops

Even before students graduate, many choose to participate in internships and co-op programs. The CET program is a proud member of MECOP where students will complete two 6-month paid internships. Companies hiring Oregon Tech CET interns include Intel, Mentor Graphics, Cisco, Actel, and Altera. Other students will participate in less formalized internships at companies like JELD-WEN.

Hardware and Software Common First Year

The CSET Department's common first year allows you to take courses in all three modalities. This common core enables you to sample courses in the Computer Engineering Technology, Embedded Systems Engineering Technology, and Software Engineering Technology programs helping you make a more educated decision based on your experiences in your first year of college.
