 Such systems will connect billions of people and will improve their lives through the use of Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, autonomous vehicles, virtual assistants, and advanced software. As a leading academic department, our facilities reflect the dynamic nature of the discipline. Laboratory and research spaces adapt and evolve continuously to encompass the ever-changing forefront and our evolving interests. Due to the vastness of our offering, we provide dedicated and optimized computing facilities to each undergraduate level. Depending on their field of specialization, our students become experts at computer system design in our Digital Signal Processing, Digital, and Embedded Systems laboratories.

Instead of being passive consumers of high-tech products, Computer Engineers are active innovators of technologies, who turn the vision of the future into a reality today. Our constantly advancing curriculum equips the engineer of this future with expertise in topics such as:
