Program Description
The purpose of the computer engineering program is to equip students with the necessary knowledge to match the ever-ending development in the area of Hardware (H/W) and Software (S/W). The curriculum focuses on hardware-software integration while preparing students for successful professional careers in areas such as computer hardware design, database engineering, and computer network security.
Goals of the program:
- The student will be able to:
- Pursue successful professional careers in computer engineering and technology or related fields while remaining technically current through graduate education and professional engagement.
- Excel as leaders, team members, communicators, and innovators in collaborative multicultural environments.
- Benefit society by practicing their profession responsibly and ethically, and sharing their knowledge through training and mentorship opportunities.
- The 137 credit-hours programs will include 15-18 hours of computer engineering electives where students will be exposed to a wide variety of areas such as wireless communications, renewable energy, artificial intelligence, data network security, software engineering, mobile applications, and computer architecture.
- Students can do one year of industry placement, after finishing the first two years of their studies which will allow them to have a unique opportunity to work on some landmark projects in Dubai, the UAE, and worldwide.
Program Details
- The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (B.S.Comp.E) degree is a four-year program consisting of 137 hours of required credit.
- Core subjects are split into Mathematics/Natural Sciences, Arts and Sciences, and Computer Engineering.
- There are also 12-15 credit hours of computer engineering electives, where students can choose from courses including Advanced Computer Architecture, Digital Image Processing, Relational Databases, Mobile Applications, and Data and Network Security.
Upon completing their studies, graduates will be able to:
- Identify, formulate, and solve complex computer engineering and technology problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences, through oral, written, graphic, and electronic channels.
- Make informed engineering decisions, guided by ethical and professional responsibility, and consider the global impact of engineering solutions on the economy, environment, and society.
- Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- Develop and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. - Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies such as self-regulated learning, experimentation, and cooperative learning
