PROGRAM LEVEL
The 135-credit Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET in the United States and placed in the National Qualification Framework of Bahrain. The curriculum plan consists of different technical and non-technical courses that include engineering, mathematics, programming and networking. In addition, it is associated with numerous practical laboratory courses, a training program and a senior project design experience. The curriculum plan is revised periodically to ensure that it meets the needs of the department stakeholders (e.g. students, employers, and staff). A degree in Computer Engineering opens the door to a wide range of career opportunities. Both large and small companies that build or use computer-based systems recruit Computer Engineering graduates for positions in telecommunications, manufacturing, product development, healthcare etc.. Many computer engineers also get jobs as programmers. While they have less programming experience than computer science graduates, their understanding of hardware gives them an advantage in dealing with overall systems.
