Bachelor of Computer Engineering
Description:
The Department of Computer Engineering was established in conjunction with the establishment of the College of Engineering at Al-Qassim University to meet the need of the various sectors in the Kingdom for this specialization and to prepare the required competencies and expertise. The department seeks to qualify the student to be a specialist in the field of computer engineering after graduation. The philosophy of computer engineering combines computer science and electronic engineering, and its most important applications include: Designing microprocessor systems, intelligent logic circuits, developing robots, which are known as robots that are assigned to work in conditions that are not tolerated by the natural person, as well as work with high precision, computer control systems, development in computer performance and industry, as well as establishing, designing, and then managing networks of various types. Graduates study the subjects that qualify them to accomplish these tasks and solve industrial issues (by introducing computer systems to them) on two axes: Academically in scientific lectures delivered by specialists, and practically in laboratory hours, graduation projects, and field training.
