Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

Tuition costs 68,574 USD per year.

Computer engineering is a discipline that combines electrical engineering and computer science to design and build computer hardware, embedded systems and the software that runs on them. This Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering is offered by New York University, Abu Dhabi in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and is taught in English. Undergraduate computer engineering programs typically cover digital logic design, computer architecture, embedded systems, operating systems, programming and software development, circuits and electronics, and signal processing. Students learn how computers are built at the hardware level, how processors execute instructions, how software interacts with hardware, and how to design systems that combine both, such as embedded controllers found in vehicles, appliances and industrial equipment. Laboratory work commonly involves building and testing circuits, programming microcontrollers, and developing both low-level and application-level software. The field sits between pure electrical engineering and computer science, so students gain grounding in both physical hardware design and software logic, preparing them to work on problems that span the two. Career paths for computer engineering graduates include hardware engineer, embedded systems engineer, systems architect, firmware developer, and roles in semiconductor design, robotics and telecommunications, as well as software engineering positions that benefit from a strong hardware background. The broad technical foundation also supports further study in specialized areas such as artificial intelligence hardware, robotics or chip design. Studying computer engineering in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates and a growing hub for technology investment, gives students access to English-language instruction within an international university setting while positioning them for engineering careers regionally and globally.
