  3. Mission Computer Engineering focuses on the design, analysis and application of computers and on their applications as components of systems. The UCSC Department of Computer Engineering sustains and strengthens its teaching and research program to provide students with inspiration and quality education in the theory and practice of computer engineering. 3

  4. B.S. in Computer Engineering Program Objective The UCSC Computer Engineering program prepares graduates for a rewarding career in engineering. UCSC Computer Engineering graduates will have a thorough grounding in the principles and practices of Computer Engineering and the scientific and mathematical principles upon which they are built; they will be prepared for further education (both formal and informal) and for productive employment in industry. 4

  16. External Review Exec Summary We find that the CE Department, and SoE more broadly, has a strong program that is serving its students well. Despite being a relatively large public institution, the feel is that of a smaller, more personalized college. When viewed in complement with related departments in SoE, the CE department offers a comprehensive program in computer engineering. Its active efforts to broaden into bioengineering and mechatronics are commendable, indicating an ambitious effort to attract good students and evolve with technology. The department has made excellent hires recently at the junior faculty level. The department does face some challenges. Although the junior faculty are very active in research, many of the senior faculty appear to be less active, leaving a research leadership void. Another key challenge, discussed in some detail below, is managing the intellectual overlap with other SoE Departments. In addition, the forays into mechatronics and particularly bioengineering will require considerable institutional resources, including investments in faculty FTE and instructional and research labs. These investments must be made within a realizable long-term vision of the trajectory of SoE. The current lack of a permanent dean is particularly problematic in view of these issues. We conclude below with some small tactical suggestions for improvements. 16

  17. Recent Courses • Undergraduate • Game console architecture (S) • Human-Computer Interaction (F) • Statics, Dynamics, and Biomechanics (W) • Required for bioengineering, and planned B.S. in robotic engineering • Graduate • Human Factors (S) • Models of robotic manipulation (S) • VLSI system-on-a-chips (S) • Mechatronics (W) • co-taught with undergraduate course 17
