Brief introduction |
| The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department provides a comprehensive education in the design of computers and in the representation and processing of information for enhancing human productivity. The department is currently offering two degree programmes: Computer and Information Engineering and Communications Engineering. Students pursuing these degree programmes will have an opportunity to acquire a comprehensive foundation in computer engineering, with subjects on both hardware and software. Each of the courses represents its own unique contribution to information technology. The present and future courses will provide a congruous collection of courses that can respond to the rapid advances in the fields of information and communication. By choosing a coherent set of electives in their third and fourth years, the students can adjust their learning according to their aptitudes and aspirations. | |

Program Structure |
| Your studies commence
with the common first year. Completion of the common first year will
develop your foundational skills for engineering while you sample from
the various branches of engineering. In this year you will develop your
skills and knowledge of fundamental engineering through completion of
practical hands-on design-and-build activities. At the conclusion of
first year, after experiencing the fundamentals of each discipline, you
nominate your branch of engineering for further study. After specialising in the second year you will develop an in-depth understanding of the knowledge, techniques, tools and resources appropriate for your branch of engineering, as well as skills and knowledge of the application of engineering methods required to conduct, design and manage engineering projects. The total credit hours for Bachelor of Communications Engineering is 139. |
