INTRODUCTION

Computer Engineering involves the knowledge and skills directed towards analysis, planning and design of Computer System including hardware, software, networks for Data transmission and multimedia. Computer Engineering is also involved in the developing of new ways to tackle challenges in instrumentation, control, manufacturing and electronics by integrating computer capabilities.

Employment opportunities are available to graduate of the Department in the information technology industry, telecommunication industry, robotic industry, software companies, autonomous systems industry, financial sector, IC satellite communication firms, research organizations and consultancy firms.

Several opportunities exist for graduates to be self employed by developing consumer products for household automation, business intelligences solution, software design and ICT consultancy. 

PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES OF COMPUTER ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

The philosophy of the Department of COMPUTER Engineering aims at the development of technical manpower at all levels for the sustainable economic growth of the nation and for humanity in general.

The main objectives of the Undergraduate Degree Programme in COMPUTER Engineering are the following:

  1. To empower our students to gain technical as well as the theoretical knowledge needed for leadership in the field.
  2. To maintain a high standard of standard of COMPUTER Engineering education through outstanding teaching, innovative research, output that addresses the changing needs of the society.
  3. To plan, design, construct and operate society’s technological and ICT infrastructure for the socio-economic enhancement of the nation.
  4. To engage students in basic and applied research in Computer Software and hardware design.
  5. To prepare the next generation of graduates as highly skilled and ethical professionals who can compete in a global competitive skilled market

A project work must be completed in the final year by each candidate. Project normally reflect relevance towards the technological needs of the country.

The programme is designed in such a way that the Philosophy and Objectives of the programme take cognizance of and be in harmony with:

  1. The Faculty of Engineering, University of Benin general philosophy and objectives on which the faculty was established.
  2. The philosophy and objectives of the National University Commission (NUC) “Minimum Standard” of January 2018 pertaining to Engineering and Technology.
  3. The Council for the regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) requisites for this area.
  4. Other regulation Bodies’ requisites such as The Nigerian Society of Engineers.
  5. The Nigeria’s National policy on Education and finally those Philosophies and Objectives Intrinsic and unique to achieving high academic and professional development in Electrical/Electronic Engineering in the country.

The department graduated its first intake of 1997/98 Session in 2002/03 session. These were UME level intakes. From the feedback received from industries and parastatals, the department is highly encouraged by glowing reports and document which we have received on the performance of the graduates of B.Eng. (Computer Engineering)
