Accreditation

Accredited by ASIIN

Students of the Bachelor degree course “Computer Engineering” will be given the knowledge and abilities, which they will require in their careers as computer engineers or for their subsequent master degree course. Based on fundamentals, methods, and working techniques of Computer Science, to be studied under engineering aspects, the graduates are prepared to produce valuable contributions from the very beginning, and furthermore can compete with future progress in Computer Engineering technologies. The bachelor study offers a well-balanced combination of modules from engineering-oriented computer science and modules from general engineering and natural science, which will be exploited and integrated in a practical project and a bachelor thesis.

Computer Science modules include Digital Fundamentals, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Basic and Advanced Programming, Programming Paradigms and Modeling Methods, Software Technology, Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Internet and Security Technologies, Database Systems. Modules of engineering and natural science include Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Mechanics, and sub-disciplines of Mathematics relevant to Computer Engineering. Finally, the spectrum is extended by technical and non-technical electives.

The students learn how the use methods of Computer Science in application areas of engineering and natural science, and also learn to discuss with colleagues from different disciplines at an application level. The graduates will in this way be prepared first and foremost for careers in the following areas:

• Construction and operation of computer systems and computer networks,
• Software Engineering for technical and engineering oriented fields of application,
• Development of application specific systems using hardware components and applying techniques of Software Engineering.
