Institutions offering BE Computer
Bachelors of Computer Engineering program is a 4-year (8 semesters) 130 credit undergraduate engineering program. The program is concerned with the analysis, design and evaluation of computer systems, both hardware and software. The program emphasizes computer organization and architecture, systems programming, operating systems and digital hardware design. This field of study not only focuses on how computer systems work, but also how they integrate into the larger picture.
The goal of the program is to ensure that the graduates are fundamentally sound, practical, participatory and professional. Specifically, after graduation, the successful graduates are expected to be engaged in successful professional practice in their chosen discipline who can demonstrate personal and professional leadership in their workplace and community. They are also expected to demonstrate effective communication in an engineering environment, and utilize formal and informal learning opportunities to maintain and enhance technical and professional growth.
The Computer Engineering graduates are expected to have:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as required, using appropriate learning strategies.
Eligibility
- Candidates must have completed the Grade 12 examination (Science stream) or equivalent from a recognized institution.
- Candidates must have studied at least one course (minimum 100 full marks or 5 credits) in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
A minimum of a C grade (or 45%) in each subject (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) in Grade 12.
Overall GPA of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or equivalent.
Additional Criteria: Candidates should have passed the mathematics course with at least 100 marks in Grade 11 or 12.
