Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), a member of Qatar Foundation (QF), is launching the first bachelor’s degree to be delivered by its College of Science and Engineering. Applications are now open for prospective students seeking to apply to the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, with classes beginning in fall of 2015.
The programme will offer an advanced curriculum delivered by expert faculty, an abundance of research, and inspiring senior design projects. Students will be given the opportunity to explore the design of real-world computer engineering systems and get exposed to real-life challenges through a design component that is integrated into the programme, as well as through a final year project.
In line with HBKU’s multidisciplinary focus, the programme’s dynamic multidisciplinary approach will draw on the expert knowledge of its partner institutions alongside its own faculty. Students are able to take courses provided by Texas A&M University at Qatar and Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar, in addition to a comprehensive range of course offerings from HBKU. This approach will provide students with a well-rounded understanding of computer science and electronic engineering; giving them a wide range of skills, and the knowledge needed for them to explore a number of rewarding careers or further study.
“Computer engineers solve advanced engineering problems in hardware, software, systems, networks and communications spanning not only computer applications but also consumer products, embedded systems and large systems,” says Dr Mounir Hamdi, Dean of HBKU’s College of Science and Engineering.
“Computer engineers make everyday devices and appliances more efficient, faster, cheaper, smarter, and safer. They also develop large systems needed to operate critical infrastructures such as the Internet, banking networks, and smart power grids.”
