Curriculum

Computer Engineering started as one of the areas in Electrical/Electronic Engineering department. Faculty of Engineering and Technology was transferred to Akpugo Campus, Enugu State of Nigeria on 27th day of April 2011. The expectations are that this transfer will offer better accommodation and improve on the rate of development of faculty of Engineering.

Computer Engineering Department was formally created to function alone in 2011. The creation of Computer Engineering Department has multiplied interest in engineering research. The department has been given full approval to function by NUC (National University Commission).

Today, the department is well established and has state-of-the-art equipment in the laboratories and workshops.

The Computer Engineering Department exists to train students to build and use computers, and encourage staff and students to carry out research that will lead to inventions, new products and services that will create wealth, and eventually lead to national development.

The department was established on a plan of extraordinary clarity and firmness. A plan that contemplates a department of limited but well defined objectives, a full time five years programme leading to the award of the degree of bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) which reflects strongly the philosophical view of the Information Technology Revolution.

The department is set apart by its own style, by its approach to teaching and learning and by its avowed objectives which include:

• To impart students with the knowledge and skills, required by computer engineers in industry, academia and public service.
• To equip the Nigeria nation and the world at large with effective professionals in the critical growth area of computer engineering.
• To stimulate the interest of students in research through contact with teachers and mentors active in research, and through exposure to the most current information technologies.
• To encourage students to consider graduate education and make them aware of the need for lifelong learning.
• To seek broad collaboration on projects and courses with other disciplines and academic departments to familiarize students with an interdisciplinary setting like that in which many of them will work.
• To promote professional and institutional pride by providing strong support for student programs associated with the most respected professional societies.
