Faculty of Information & Communication Technology

Department of Computer Engineering

Computer engineering is a discipline that embodies the science and technology of design, construction, implementation, and maintenance of software and hardware components of modern computing systems and computer-controlled equipment.

At the Department of Computer Engineering, students are encouraged to hone the right mix of expertise covering both software programming and hardware design and implementation to be able to design and utilize computing systems for industrial automation (to handle different processes and machinery in an industry to replace a human being), embedded systems (found in devices from a digital wristwatch to space shuttle), robotics (to use machines to perform tasks done traditionally by human beings), multimedia (to combine and use multiple media formats i.e. text, audio, still images, animation, video and interactivity together), and artificial intelligence (to design and program machines to think like humans and mimic their actions).

Computer Engineering is a fast emerging and an exhilarating field offering diverse career paths in both software development and hardware engineering. Computer Engineers apply engineering techniques and computer science concepts to develop reliable, cost-effective hardware and software solutions catering to the challenging demands of industries ranging from health care to environmental sciences.
