Description

Computer Engineering Technology (CET) is at the core of modern innovation, bridging the gap between hardware and software to create the technology and systems that power our world. CET professionals design, build, and maintain the computer-based technology that drives industries and shapes society.

City Tech’s Computer Engineering Technology Department equips students with the knowledge and practical skills to develop, integrate, and optimize computer-controlled systems. Because CET spans multiple disciplines, it offers diverse career opportunities in IT support and maintenance, embedded systems development, software engineering, robotics, cybersecurity, IoT, and network administration.

CET graduates are at the forefront of tackling modern challenges in both established and emerging industries. Through innovation, problem-solving, and hands-on expertise, they play a crucial role in shaping the future of technology.

Our Mission

The Computer Engineering Technology (CET) Department at City Tech is committed to providing accessible, high-quality education that prepares students for careers in computer engineering technology and related fields. Through excellence in teaching, hands-on learning, and industry collaboration, we equip students with technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and adaptability to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Aligned with City Tech’s mission, we foster inclusivity, innovation, and professional growth, ensuring our graduates are workforce-ready or prepared for advanced studies. Our faculty, drawn from industry and academia, mentor students from diverse backgrounds, promoting academic excellence, ethical responsibility, and lifelong learning.

Through a multidisciplinary approach, we empower students to develop computer-controlled systems, embedded technologies, and networked solutions that drive New York City’s industries and beyond. By integrating theory, application, and emerging technologies, we shape the next generation of engineers and technologists to lead in problem-solving, digital transformation, and societal impact.

As a Computer Engineering Technology student, you will benefit from:

Hands-on Experience – Develop practical skills in state-of-the-art labs equipped with modern computers, network equipment, simulators, and measuring instruments.
Small Class Sizes & Supportive Environment – Learn in a collaborative setting with individual attention and mentorship from faculty.
Competitions & Innovation – Participate in national and international competitions in robotics, hardware design, and technology.
Internships & Industry Connections – Gain real-world experience through internships, research projects, and industry partnerships.
If you're curious about technology, love problem-solving, and want hands-on learning, the CET Department is the place for you.

Degree Programs

The associate in applied science in program is a two-year program providing a strong foundation in electrical and computer engineering technology. Students develop practical skills in computer hardware, software, systems communication, and information technology (IT). Graduates can enter the workforce or continue their education in a bachelor’s program.

The bachelor of technology in program is a four-year degree that expands on the AAS curriculum, focusing on embedded systems, hardware design, network management, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity. This program prepares students for careers in computer-controlled systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), and automation.

The bachelor of science in program is a four-year program specializing in design, development, testing, evaluation, management, and maintenance of software. Students gain expertise in mathematics, computing and engineering, and technological skills needed to excel in the software engineering field.

All programs emphasize hands-on experience and career readiness, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for employment or advanced studies.
