Computer Engineering is a rapidly growing profession and computer engineers are in the midst of exciting times with unlimited opportunities in all walks of life. For instance, computer engineers interact with and design large supercomputers as well as the ubiquitous personal and portable computers. Furthermore, computer engineers play a key role in networking computers with other computers and intelligent devices. Computer engineers are also involved in projects as varied as design of specialized computer hardware for use in reconstructing the human genome to monitoring and control of industrial plants and the environment, computer graphics, robotics and the design of biomedical devices and computer networks. Finally, computer engineers design and develop hardware and embedded hardware-software systems. This module in computer engineering is designed for working professionals who seek to acquire an in-depth understanding of the field. The program consists of three required courses and two elective courses.

Image processing deals with digital image (including video) enhancement, analysis and compression. It is a core technology that enables various multimedia applications, including digital picture capture and editing, digital television, tele-conferencing, video streaming, video archiving and retrieval, and medical imaging. This advanced certificate program is designed for working professionals who seek to acquire an in-depth understanding of various image and video processing algorithms including international standards for image and video coding. The program consists of four required courses and one elective course, each 3 credit. These courses are part of Polytechnic's existing MSEE curriculum. The courses taken can be used towards an MSEE degree if the student so chooses. The program can also be taken by regular MSEE students, who wish to focus on a specialty area beyond satisfying the general requirement for the MSEE.

The explosive growth of data networks has brought with it the need for effective network management. The widespread deployment of standards-based solutions (e.g., SNMP) is but a first step in dealing with the complexity of network management. A thorough knowledge of network protocols and network management standards is necessary for any practitioner in this area. The program consists of four required courses and one recommended elective course.

Wireless telecommunication has experienced remarkable growth since the introduction of cellular telephones. With the licensing by the FCC of spectrum for Personal Communication Services (PCS) and other services such as wireless LAN, wireless local loop, wireless PDA, and the emerging wireless Internet, the rate of growth is expected to increase even further. In order to give those with an electrical and computer engineering background the specific knowledge needed to work in this expanding market, Polytechnic University has structured a series of five post B.S. level courses that cover the knowledge needed to compete successfully in this industry. The program consists of two required courses plus three elective courses.
