Computer Engineering (PGD/M.Eng./M.Phil./ Ph.D.)
About the program
AUN’s Computer Engineering program is designed to prepare the computer engineering graduate to acquire the requisite skills in the learning, literacy and life domains. The learning domain highlights critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication while literacy focuses on information, media, and technology complemented by the life skills that demonstrate flexibility, leadership, initiative, productivity and social balance.
The Computer Engineering program is conceived to produce engineers who can work with all aspects of computers (software and hardware) and other engineering professionals in a world in which high-level language software, complex programs and smart hardware are complementing and progressively replacing human effort in solving societal problems. The program, therefore, prepares you towards the design, analysis, and application of computers and computer-based systems in the development and production of peripheral and remote devices/computer systems to manage all economic sectors including services,
energy, infrastructure, health, environment, entertainment, sports and security. Furthermore, the program is designed to prepare you for the increasing need for Human- Computer Interface (HCI) requiring higher levels of automation and control of all aspects of the cyber physical environment engendered by the expanding age of Internet of Things and People (IoTP).
The Computer Engineering Program includes several courses in Computation, Computer Science (such as data structures and operating systems) and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (such as circuits and electronics). Thus, you will graduate with a sound knowledge of the fundamentals in electrical or computer engineering that allows you to analyze and solve technical problems, apply hardware and software tools to problem solving, and create, develop and manage complex computer-based technologies, products and services.
Computer Engineering
