Introduction
Computer Engineering Department holds a master course in electronic engineering degree with focus on computer engineering. In general, a master of computer engineering is a combination of research methodology and management, electronics engineering, computer engineering and computer sciences. Therefore, students undertaking the course will have a sound knowledge of theory and practical in the fields.
Computer engineering elements cover the whole advanced knowledge of electronics and computer engineering. Students are taught on advanced digital signal processing, advanced TCP/IP network, computer architecture and advanced electronic design. At later stage of studies, students are focus more towards computer science elements such as various embedded software design and distributed and high performance computing. Advanced microelectronics elements are taught through digital VLSI design, IC testing and mixed analog signal VLSI design.
In the second semester of studies, students must endure a master project which is a two-semester project that involves design and development of both hardware and software system. The topics covered range from digital system design, software development, networking applications, reprogrammable devices and also IC process simulation.
Curriculum Structure
The Master programme by Taught Course in Computer Engineering is designed to extend the knowledge and skills gained from the first degree and to develop new professional skills of the graduates in the particular area of Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Sciences and Research Management. The programme involves lectures, seminars and project work. A minimum of 40 credit hours of taught subjects and a research report and a final Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 3.0 are required for the award of the Master degree.
The minimum 40 credits of study comprise a combination of compulsory subjects, electives and a Master’s Project. Assessments are made through take home assignments, tests and final semester examinations. Students’ progress and performance in the Master project is assessed through oral presentations and a written report.
A total of 42 credits are required to be completed successfully before the Master Degree can be awarded.
