The Computer Engineering program combines theoretical and practical aspects of Computer Science with hardware related aspects of Engineering into a comprehensive course of study. Computer Engineering students participate in a cooperative education program in which an industrial internship of six months duration is pursued during the four years of studies

OBJECTIVES 

This program introduces students to basic engineering, principles in electrical, electronics, communication, computer hardware and software. The electrical, electronics and the computer industries have seen rapid developments in recent years and their convergence has created many new technologies and employment opportunities for graduates in this field. In this option, students will build a strong foundation in hardware and software, data communications, computer networking, digital communication systems, multimedia applications as well as emerging technologies.
