For students who aspire to a professional career, our undergraduate courses in Computer Engineering and Computer Science provide a firm, broad-based education, with a provision for a substantial amount of specialisation in the final year of study.   The courses will provide the students with a solid foundation to meet the future challenges brought on by the rapid pace of technological changes, and prepare them for a life-time of learning and upgrading of skills.

Rapid advances in microelectronics and computer science have created a need for a special kind of engineer with the range of expertise to make use of this new technology in the design of computer systems and their real-time application in industry and commerce.  The Computer Engineer integrates knowledge from both computer science and electronics engineering, thereby ensuring that he or she possesses the analytic skills of the computer scientist and the development and design skills of the electronics engineer.   This is made possible by the unique combination of subjects from these two disciplines within the Computer Engineering course.
The broad knowledge of programming and electronics coupled with the specialist skills in software and hardware interfacing will make the Computer Engineer immensely suitable for a wide range of positions within the IT industry.
