Curriculum
Degree Name
Graduates of the program shall be given
the Degree of Bachelor of Science in
Computer Engineering (BSCpE).
New CpE Program Definition
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
(BSCpE) is a program that embodies the science
and technology of design, development,
implementation, maintenance and integration of
software and hardware components in modern
computing systems and computer-controlled
equipment.
Important CpE Graduates
Characteristic
1. Possess the ability to design computers,
computer-based systems and networks that
include both hardware and software and their
integration to solve novel engineering problems,
subject to trade-offs involving a set of competing
goals and constraints. In this context, design
refers to a level of ability beyond assembling or
configuring systems.
Important CpE Graduates
Characteristic
2. Have a breadth of knowledge in
mathematics and engineering sciences,
associated with the broader scope of
engineering and beyond that narrowly
required for the field.
3. Acquire and maintain a preparation for
professional practice in engineering.
Allied Programs
a) Electrical Engineering
b) Electronics Engineering
c) Software Engineering
d) Computer Science
e) Information Technology
These programs are those that may be considered as
equivalent to the program for the purpose of determining
faculty qualifications to handle allied and related courses
to the program.
Knowledge Areas
a) Circuits and Electronics
b) Computing Algorithms
c) Computer Architecture
and Organization
d) Digital Design
e) Embedded Systems
f) Computer Networks
g) Professional Practice
h) Information Security
