Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

Computer engineering is the discipline that combines electrical engineering and computer science to design and build the hardware and software systems that make modern computing possible. Students typically study digital logic design, computer architecture, embedded systems, circuit design, operating systems, programming and software engineering, alongside mathematics and physics foundations, learning both how computing hardware works at a low level and how software is designed to run efficiently on that hardware. Coursework often includes laboratory work with microcontrollers, digital circuits and embedded systems, as well as project-based work that requires integrating hardware and software components into working systems. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology- Dubai, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is an undergraduate degree delivered in English, intended for students who want technical training spanning both the hardware and software sides of computing rather than a software-only computer science route. Graduates of computer engineering programs typically pursue careers as hardware engineers, embedded systems developers, systems and network engineers, firmware developers, and roles in telecommunications, automotive, aerospace and consumer electronics industries that design and build physical computing devices. Many graduates also move into broader software engineering and information technology roles, given the overlap between computer engineering and computer science training, and the field's combination of hardware and software skills is particularly valued by industries building connected devices, embedded products and infrastructure systems across Dubai's technology, telecommunications and manufacturing sectors.
