Cybersecurity

This course covers the principles and practices of cybersecurity, including network security, cryptography, and risk management. Students will learn to identify vulnerabilities and implement security measures to protect digital assets.

Embedded Systems

This course focuses on the design and implementation of embedded systems, including microcontrollers, real-time operating systems, and hardware-software integration. Students will work on projects that involve building embedded applications.

Project-Based Learning Philosophy

The department's philosophy on project-based learning emphasizes the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical application. Students are encouraged to engage in both individual and group projects that challenge them to solve real-world problems.

The mandatory mini-projects are designed to provide students with hands-on experience in specific areas of computer engineering. These projects are typically completed in the third and fourth semesters and are evaluated based on their technical merit, creativity, and presentation.

The final-year thesis/capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor that allows students to explore a topic of interest in depth. Students work closely with faculty mentors to develop a project that demonstrates their mastery of the field. The project is evaluated based on its originality, technical complexity, and contribution to the field.

Students select their projects and mentors based on their interests and career goals. The department provides a list of potential projects and mentors, and students are encouraged to discuss their preferences with faculty members.
