Computer Engineering

Based on a national framework plan:

National curriculum framework for Computer Engineering - College Engineer

Duration:

3 years, full time study

Degree:

Bachelor of Engineering

Entry requirements:

General college entrance requirements with additional qualifications in Physics and Mathematics.

Aims and objectives:

• To provide a good theoretical and practical education for students who plan to work as computer engineers and a solid foundation for graduate studies.
• To develop the ability to collaborate and communicate with colleagues as well as people who are not computer specialists. On completion of the programme it is expected that students will be able to work together with a wide range of computer users, including specialists from other fields.
• To develop relevant understanding of etical considerations in relation to information and communication technology, and stimulate critical reflection on development and application.
• To be able to meet the need for maintenance and user services, by emphasizing computer communication/computer networks as well as the operation and maintenance of computer systems in the study programme.

Teaching methods:

Teaching is in the form of lectures, labs and practical projects, with and without supervision. Methodology and project oriented approach are particularly emphasized in this programme. Many of the subjects also require the completion of individual projects and group projects.

The faculty makes extensive use of lab work, internet and web technology in creating an active and challenging learning environment for the students.

Structure and activities:

Each year of study is divided into two semesters, with the following main structure:

• Year 1:
  Basic courses, math, physics and electronics Basic computer science courses - programming languages, object oriented programming
• Year 2:
  Intermediate computer science courses, software - and hardware oriented, such as information systems design and database development, computer graphics, computer networks
  Intermediate math, statistics and business management for engineers
• Year 3:
  Specialization in particular areas culminating in the completion of a main project (small thesis).
