Head of the Computer Engineering Department. Dr.. Ahmad Aljuhani
The rapid expansion of the uses of computers in various fields, the increasing growth in the electronics industry and computer devices in particular, the technological boom and the information revolution that appeared recently, have made the specialty of computer engineering one of the fastest developing and distinct fields at the present time. As a result, the Computer Engineering Department was added to the College of Computers and Information Technology. It aims to graduate engineers specializing in various fields of computer engineering who have distinct capabilities, and who can contribute to the implementation of development plans in the Kingdom and the achievement of its ambitions. The graduate of the Department of Computer Engineering obtains an outstanding qualification that gives him the ability to deal with different standards for computer systems, and the Department of Computer Engineering aims to qualify graduates with high engineering skills that enable them to excel, adapt to technical changes in the field of computer engineering and meet the needs of society, by providing students with technical knowledge and skills. And the transfer of the latest methods of technology and applied research by providing an appropriate and integrated educational and research environment that attracts distinguished students and faculty members, and the link between research trends and the needs of society and the state. It is expected that the department graduate will be able to design, install, configure, operate and program high quality digital systems and circuits, install, program and maintain electronic systems.
The department awards a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering after passing the approved study plan for the program, which covers many areas of knowledge that the student needs to qualify for the job market in the various disciplines of computer engineering. The department has taken into account in designing its programs the combination of theory, application and practice. In designing educational plans and curricula, the department has adopted international plans and standards that have been designed by specialized organizations, for example (IEEE) or (ACM), which represent the world's major specialized organizations to develop and innovate the latest technologies in the world Computer engineering
