Bachelor of Science Honours in Engineering – Computer Engineering

Bachelor of Science Honours in Engineering – Computer Engineering

The courses offered for Computer Engineering integrate both software and hardware aspects of computing. Graduates can work in the fields of Embedded systems, Computer Hardware Design, Computer Networking or Software Development.

Bachelor of Computer Engineering programme emphasises in providing hardware and software skills to pursue a carrier in hardware and software industries. Students gain knowledge and skills to design, develop, deploy, test and maintain hardware and software systems.

The curriculum includes core units in Software, Hardware, Mathematics, Management, Communication and an undergraduate project.

Software courses offered include Data Structures and Algorithms, Object Oriented Design and Programming etc. Hardware courses include Microprocessors and interfacing Computer architecture, Processor Design etc. Mathematics courses include Engineering Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics etc.

The final year undergraduate project allows students to apply the theoretical knowledge into practise as well as to collaborate with the industry.
