<p>Last year UNC mailed me a brochure wth a list of majors on the back. I am 100% percent sure that Computer Engineering was listed there. However on collegeboard it isn't listed and it isn't listed on collegeview either. I did find this link wth one quick search on google: Computer</a> Engineering Track. I don't exactly know what it means though.</p>
<p>Of course I don't even know if 'll get in. Early Action, OOS from MD. 3.95 GPA, 4.62 Weighted. 2080 SAT (640 CR, 770 M, 670 W). Math IIc - 800 but I'm saving that for if I get deferred. And pretty good ECs and essays. But on my app I had to list comp science as my intended major and that's not what I wanted to apply for.</p>
<p>There is a computer engineering major, but it is through the Applied Sciences. Go to the advising website, and look at the course worksheets and you can see it.</p>
<p>Just want to make sure you understand that the degree from “Applied Sciences and Engineering” would not be accredited. See the following quoted directly from the UNC Applied Sciences website:</p>
<p>Are the CASE undergraduate degree programs accredited?
No. While UNC is an accredited institution, our degrees are not accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). However, our curriculum is consistent with those of ABET accredited programs around the country. ABET accredited degrees provide a more clear path to a Professional Engineer (PE) license, which many civil and mechanical engineers need, but careers in BME, Computer Engineering, and Materials Science almost never require a PE license. Currently, there is no professional licensure or examination for Biomedical Engineers. More information for Biomedical Engineering and ABET is available on the BMES website at:

<p>What exactly does that mean HoComom? Because I am very interested in engineering and although UNC is not an engineering school whatsoever, it does have my intended major. But it it will affect my future than I would really have to think about</p>
<p>I’m not an engineering expert, but I’m married to an engineer, and have a daughter who wants to go into engineering. ABET is the type of accreditation engineering schools have. If you did the degree at UNC, you would not have an engineering accreditation. (You would have an accredited college degree, just as if you had majored in history, but not the engineering accreditation.) I think for most engineering jobs, ABET helps. But maybe that is not as true for computer engineering as it is for other engineering disciplines like mechanical engineering. Any engineers out there want to comment?</p>
<p>I’m bumping this . Now that I’ve officially been accepted (with the lowest OOS SAT i’ve seen on here lol [2080 FTW]), i need to know more about this program before I choose where I go. Can anyone give me as much info as possible?</p>
<p>i also want to know more about this. i can’t decide between unc or nc state computer engineering. i know that nc state’s computer engineering program is accredited by that institution, but i like everything else about unc.</p>
<p>It is fine to to the comp eng degree at UNC if you go on and get a masters somewhere else. It will prepare you to get a masters in the smae subject</p>
<p>Web: Not even then. You won’t get nearly the same attention/resources as the other majors.</p>
<p>Andrew: I believe biomed eng. is well established. It was the only major they talked about within the applied sciences division during my group advising. They totally ignored comp eng and materials eng.</p>
