Program Educational Objectives

The following program objectives are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments, which should be achieved few years following our students’ graduation. In general, our graduates are expected to:

• Demonstrate their success as computer engineers with a good set of technical, problem solving, and leadership accomplishments.

• Participate in life-long learning activities such as training, continuing education, or graduate studies.

• Contribute to the development and the growth of local and global communities and uphold their ethical, social, and professional responsibilities.

Student Outcomes

The following learning outcomes describe competencies and skills that our students acquire by graduation:

• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex computer engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• an ability to apply computer 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 develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

A common misconception is that Computer Engineering students are being prepared for jobs as computer technicians or MS Office application experts. The reality is that five of the top seven most important technology jobs for the future come under the umbrella of computer engineering. You can work in Big Data, cyber security, AI/robotics, IoT, and cloud computing.

Graduates of this program have gone on to work in a wide range of companies including, but not limited to, Abu Dhabi Distribution Company, Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority, ADGAS, ADNOC, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Creative Robotics, Etisalat, MDS Computers, Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Education, and twoFour54.
