Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

Computer Engineering programme focuses on the design, construction, implementation, and maintenance of software and hardware components of modern computing systems and computer-controlled equipment. It overlaps with computer science on one end (software systems) and with electrical engineering on other (hardware). The program equips students with hands-on experience on system design and implementation by offering a set of practical labs in digital logic, microprocessor, electronics, signal processing, computer interfacing, etc. Read about Requirements and Course details.

Programme Objectives
The program objectives are:

• Preparation: To prepare the students to excel in the Computer Engineering programme or to succeed in industry / technical profession through further education/training;
• Core Competence: To provide the students with a solid foundation in mathematical, scientific and Computer Engineering fundamentals required to solve Computer Engineering related problems;
• Breadth: To train the students with a breadth of scientific and Computer Engineering knowledge to comprehend, analyze, design and create novel products and solutions for real life problems;
• Professionalism: To inculcate in the students professional/ethical attitude, effective team work skills, multidisciplinary approach and to relate Computer Engineering issues to a broader context;
• Learning Environment: To provide the students with academic environment of excellence, leadership, ethical guidelines and life-long learning needed for a long/productive career.

 
Programme Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Computer Engineering programme, the student will be able to:

• Design computers, computer-based systems and networks that include both hardware and software and their integration to solve novel engineering problems, subject to trade-offs involving a set of competing goals and constraints. In this context, “design” refers to a level of ability beyond “assembling” or “configuring” systems
• Apply knowledge of mathematics, and engineering sciences, associated with the broader scope of engineering and beyond that narrowly required for the field.
• Utilize a variety of computer-based and laboratory tools for the analysis and design of computer systems, including both hardware and software elements.
• Appreciate the societal context in which engineering is practiced, as well as the effects of engineering projects on society.
• Communicate their work in appropriate formats (written, oral, graphical) and to critically evaluate materials presented by others in those formats.
• Adhere to professional and ethical standards in view of the value of science and technology in a global/societal context and engage in lifelong learning.
