Bachelor of Engineering, Computer Engineering
The Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering is an in-depth study of engineering software and hardware concepts of Computer Education. This Department was set up to train highly skilled computer engineers and professionals to meet the ever-increasing demands of hi-tech in a vibrant modern technological age. The academic programme began in September 2006 with 12 students but currently has approximately 130 students enrolled in the Department.
The educational mission of the department is to provide students with comprehensive, interdisciplinary training in Computer Engineering. This is accomplished by developing and offering a curriculum that integrates the fundamentals of engineering, both hardware and software, and the application of engineering concepts, techniques, and methods to computer systems engineering and design.

Why Study Computer Engineering?
If you are interested in math, science, and computers, you should consider a degree in Computer Engineering. Engineers like to innovate, be creative, work in teams, explore how things work, design new products, and solve problems. As computers continue to integrate themselves into our everyday lives there is a need for engineers who understand their principles of operation and how to innovate new applications.
Graduates of this program have career opportunities in many industries, including computer systems design, digital systems, systems analysis, software engineering, data communications, information systems and more.
