School of Engineering and Computer Science
Curriculum
The Bachelor of Science program in Computer Engineering consists of a minimum of 120 units of academic work and (except for exempt foreign students) a minimum of 32 units of Cooperative Education credit. Each required course, or its equivalent, must be completed. If, for any reason, the total in any category is below the minimum, then an additional course in that category must be successfully completed.

Technical Electives
4 Courses from technical electives options
Professional Practice (CO-OP)
32 units of CO-OP are required to graduate, although students can opt to take 50 units.
Non - U.S. citizens are exempt from CO-OP.
Development of Curriculum Plans
Students work with their academic advisers to develop curriculum plans in accordance with prerequisite requirements and course schedules. Students who successfully complete their coursework and complete 32 units of CO-OP can graduate in four years, and students who complete 50 units of CO-OP typically take five years. Summer courses may be desirable or necessary to reduce the course-load during some Fall or Spring semesters.

Cooperative Education Program (CO-OP)
Cooperative education (Co-op) is an integral part of the Pacific engineering program, and all Pacific students are required to have industrial experience before they graduate. Some students are able to pursue this work experience in Japan or Germany through an International Engineering Co-op Program.
CO-OP coordinators work with students to arrange relevant full-time, paid jobs with engineering employers. 32 units of CO-OP work experience are required to graduate, although students have the option of pursuing 50 units. (Non - U.S. citizens are exempt from the CO-OP requirements.) Students who take 32 units of CO-OP work for a Fall or Spring semester plus one Summer semester. Students who take 50 units of CO-OP can work for different companies for a total of one year of work experience before they graduate. For more information about our co-op program visit our Cooperative Education Program webpage.
