Program Overview
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering was started in Fall 1999. The Computer Engineering program at COMSATS University is designed to provide students core knowledge and skills in Computer Engineering with specialization in the areas of hardware and computer architecture, signal and image processing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, mobile application and software development, and data engineering.
The Computer Engineering program nurtures its graduates to be competent in professional practice and fulfill the technological needs of society in an ethical, moral, and socially responsible manner. Moreover, the students are trained to communicate effectively and show management and entrepreneurial potential. The students are engaged in life-long learning to continually enhance personal and professional capabilities.
The curriculum, labs, workshops, and industrial placements equip the students with the latest tools and techniques relevant to national and international industry. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has an active industrial advisory board which continually provides feedback on our curriculum in relevance to the current industrial requirements.
Curriculum
The curriculum of BS Computer Engineering is designed in accordance with current industrial requirements and latest tools and technologies. The core courses are designed to develop complex engineering problem solving skills of students in areas of embedded systems, hardware architecture and design, signal and image processing, AI and machine learning and software engineering. Additionally, core competencies at the software end are imparted through programming, algorithm design, databases, operating systems, and system software engineering. Suiting to their interests, students are provided with an extensive list of electives from Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science to specialize in their field of choice. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has an active industrial advisory board which continually provides feedback on our curriculum in relevance to the current industrial requirements.
The students also take courses in humanities, management, and social sciences to enhance their soft skills. In the final year of studies, the students are required to complete a capstone project in which they demonstrate their knowledge and skills gained during the program. The students are cognizant of the UN SDGs and are required to target a set of SDGs in their final year project.
