Computer Engineering Department
College of Computer Sciences and Engineering
Goals Graduate students in Computer Engineering. Provide engineers who are capable of coping with a
rapidly growing computer technology. Conduct research activities that will enhance the country’s
industry, and broaden the scope and ability of faculty members.
Provide necessary channels for transferring computer engineering technology into country.
Adapt new and appropriate technologies for the country’s need.
Computer Engineering Computer Engineering (COE) is the discipline
concerned with the design, analysis, modeling and implementation of computers and networks systems. Both the software and the hardware aspects of these systems are studied in a balanced and coherent manner. The COE program at KFUPM provides a comprehensive coverage of a wide range of COE subjects including hardware design, computer networks and data communications, computer architecture and operating systems, microprocessor-based systems, computer programming languages and software.
COE Disciplines Computer Networks and Data
Communications Computer Architecture and Design Digital Design Automation and VLSI Computer Based Systems Testability and Fault Tolerance
What Students Study in COE Interdependencies of hardware and software
components in computer systems Computer networks and computer
communication – Internet, WW, homepages, ...
Programming languages and Operating Systems Digital system architecture and design Microprocessors and integrated circuit
technology
COE Tracks The new curriculum has three tracks for
students to concentrate. The tracks are: Software Computer Networks Computer Systems
