The Master of Science (Computer Engineering) programme aims to provide students with in-depth knowledge and excellent hands-on skills involving design and implementation of hardware, firmware, and software.
The programme curriculum strives to equip Master of Science (Computer Engineering) postgraduates with the following attributes:
- Apply fundamental knowledge and skill sets required in the digital era
- Adopt a systems approach to design, develop, implement, and innovate both distributed and integrated computing systems where possible that include, digital technology, information processing, energy and resources taken into account on societal and environmental factors
- Recognize the need and continue to develop skills and knowledge to embrace changes in society and the profession
- To be adept to the nation’s drive towards digitalization efforts and the need for skilled manpower in computer engineering
The programme provides two distinct pathways for students to pursue, one in which students can choose to specialize in a certain area and in the other they can choose to remain in a general or no specialisation pathway. The three specialisations are Digitalization and Communication Technologies, Computing Hardware Infrastructure, and Machine Intelligence and Applications.
