B.Sc. Computer Engineering
Computer engineering encompasses all areas of research, development, design, and operation of electronic systems and their components, including software. Emphasis in such varied areas as programming and compilers, computers and microprocessors, operating systems, computer networks and communication, and electronic and digital electronics devices and design is available. Students gain hands-on experience in the laboratory courses that accompany classroom work and develop design skills starting from the first year. The curriculum trains students for direct entry into the engineering profession and prepares them for graduate studies. Their activities span industrial activity, research, development, design, production, marketing, operation, field test, and maintenance of many types of equipment and systems for government and industry.
