About the course

Combining equal parts electrical engineering and computer science, computer engineering research is continuing to improve digital technology. A major practical concern of computer engineering is to develop methods that allow our engineers to successfully apply powerful, but also exceedingly complex, computer technology to complex applications effectively, efficiently and reliably. Research in this field is quite varied due to its interdisciplinary nature. At its heart, computer engineering is concerned with the design and application of programmable digital systems, including computers. Electrical engineering knowledge provides us with the miniaturized hardware circuits on silicon chips that allow binary signals to be stored, transmitted and processed reliably at very high speed and with minimal power consumption. On the other hand, computer science has contributed many techniques that are required to build the complex software of modern computer systems. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
