Additional Information

Career Opportunities
Graduates from the Master of Science program in computer engineering are able to analyze and synthesize key theories and methods used in the field of computer engineering. These graduates can apply new theories, methods and designs that can advance the field of computer engineering. More specifically, computer engineering program graduates have the skills to advance the design, system integration, testing, evaluation and deployment of the state-of-the-art hardware and software for systems that include computing, communications and networking (wired and wireless), control functions, sensing, signal processing, and actuation. These skills can be applied in high-demand growth areas, such as autonomous systems and robotics; distributed, dependable and secure systems; as well as embedded systems for media processing and communications.

Master's degree program graduates may work under the direction of scientists and engineers who hold doctorates in high-tech lab settings, assisting in developing innovative products and systems that require strong foundational knowledge in the underlying sciences and the ability to synthesize and analyze engineering principles as they relate to the development of new computer engineering technology.

Career examples include:

• Computer hardware engineer
• Computer systems engineer
• Systems software engineer

Scholarships

New American University (NAmU) Scholarship

Guide to awards for admitted undergraduate first-year students who meet all criteria

Guide to awards for admitted undergraduate transfer students who meet all criteria

Conditionally admitted students receive any NAmU award on passing English Language Program Advanced 2 level with minimum 84% or B overall grade

Graduate merit-based scholarships 

Graduate students who are admitted with deficiencies must meet the deficiencies in order to become eligible for a scholarship award.

ASU-USA Pathways admission and progression scholarships

Admitted students are guaranteed $8,500 awarded for the 3-semester program, or $3,600 for 1-semester. Earned Pathways students are eligible for the scholarship in their first full Pathways session after they gain full admission. On successful completion of ASU-USA Pathways, students with GPA 3.25+ are awarded an ASU bachelor’s program tuition scholarship of $5,000, renewable annually.*

Kaplan International award

Students who do not meet the criteria for an ASU scholarship may be eligible for a Kaplan-funded partial scholarship (average $2,000) if they are unconditionally admitted to a bachelor’s or master’s degree. For undergraduates, the Kaplan award is given each semester until completion of their first spring semester at ASU. After that, if the student has no NAmU scholarship, the Kaplan award will be renewed* by ASU for 6 or 7 additional semesters. For graduates, Kaplan-funded awards are not renewable.

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.

It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.

A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):

1. Pre-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment provided to F-1 students before completion of their course of study.
2. Post-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment available to F-1 students after completing their course of study.
3. 24 Month STEM Extension: Students enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses can a 24-month extension after their initial Post-Completion OPT authorization.
