The program embodies the science and technology of design, construction, implementation and maintenance of software and hardware components of modern computing systems and computer controlled equipment. It is a profession that applies engineering principles and methodologies in the analysis, implementation and management of hardware, software and the integration of both. The program provides students with enhanced knowledge and skill, through focused subject tracks in the areas of robotics, digital signal processing, embedded systems, computer architecture, interfacing technology, Very High Speed-Integrated-Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL), computer networks, software engineering and system analysis and design. This program also focuses on developing students’ knowledge and skills in the design of the microprocessor and microcontroller that may be used in different scientific applications.
