This program aims to provide high quality education and equip graduates with integrated knowledge in science, engineering and technology that will inculcate best practices in students and develop excellent problem-solving and reasoning skills. This program imparts a blend of technologies, underpinning knowledge and research skills for a higher-level competence and motivating them to pursue higher education and lifelong learning.

The program should enable the students to:

•  Demonstrate and apply the learned computer engineering specialised knowledge in designing and implementing modern computer systems.
•  Utilise a broad range of cognitive and technical skills to solve problems and disseminate information using advanced communication technologies.
•  Build a successful career in industry, academia, public services, and provide technical expertise in their business, profession, and community.
•  Utilise appropriate communication skills to disseminate information for diverse audiences in leadership roles and enable them to work individually or in a team.
•  Develop professional skills through lifelong learning to adapt with innovation and respond to the challenges of a rapidly changing environment.
•  Apply professional, ethical, social standards and promote them to maintain timely working schedules with advanced entrepreneurial and creative skills.

The graduates will have the ability to:

•  Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering in computer-based systems and analyse system performance trade-offs.
•  Design system components, processes and solutions for engineering problems that meet specific needs with appropriate consideration for the public health, safety, cultural, societal,and environmental considerations.
•  Utilise the techniques, skills, advanced information, latest software, and modern engineering tools required for Computer Engineering systems.
•  Develop skills to experiment, evaluate, and interpret results in Computer Engineering principles that underpin knowledge and self-learning to enhance a successful career in computer engineering.
•  Identify, formulate, and solve specialised Computer Engineering problems to promote advanced entrepreneurial skills.
•  Analyse and prepare reports to make effective presentations with a wide range of audience.
•  Demonstrate knowledge of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues in Computer Engineering and related disciplines.
