GENERAL INFORMATION

Computer Engineering is a rapidly growing profession and computer engineers are in the midst of exciting times with unlimited opportunities in all walks of life. For instance, computer engineers interact with and design large supercomputers as well as the ubiquitous personal and portable computers. Furthermore, computer engineers play a key role in networking computers with other computers and intelligent devices. Computer engineers are also involved in projects as varied as design of specialized computer hardware for use in reconstructing the human genome to monitoring and control of industrial plants and the environment, computer graphics, robotics and the design of biomedical devices and computer networks. Finally, computer engineers design and develop hardware and embedded hardware-software systems. This module in computer engineering is designed for working professionals who seek to acquire an in-depth understanding of the field. The program consists of three required courses and two elective courses.
