Computer Engineering

Overview Computer Engineering deals with the process of analysing and designing all hardware, software and operating systems for computer systems. Computer Engineering fuses the disciplines of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering for a more integrative study and application. However the terms Computer Engineering and Computer Science differ in certain aspects. In simplest terms, whereas Computer Science focuses on the software aspect of computers, Computer Engineering looks at the design and build of computer hardware. Computer Engineers thus research, design, develop, test, and oversee the manufacture and installation of computer hardware. This includes computer chips, circuit boards, computer systems, and related equipment such as keyboards, routers and printers. Visit Department Course evidence: Level 100 Semester I is missing from the explicit Computer Engineering table, likely following a common School of Engineering first-year structure. Electives in Level 400 are grouped by pathways (Software Systems, Hardware Systems, Computer Systems). Programme confirmation source: IPO and central catalogues.
