What is Computer Engineering?

Computer Engineering is concerned with the design and construction of reliable and efficient computerbased systems. It is especially relevant to systems where the software is used to control interaction between a computer-based system and the real world. There is a flexible common fi rst year for all BE degrees in the Faculty of Engineering except Software Engineering and Bioinformatics. This will allow students to select electives in first year and later years of the program. A typical program sequence is shown below:
