Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering at Makerere University

Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering at Makerere University

Duration: 4 years

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME The primary focus of this programme is to produce entrepreneurship-oriented graduates who are capable of propping up new companies, out of the prototypes that they will have developed at the undergraduate level. This demands that the final year projects should benchmark world class standards, capable of leading to Computer Engineering and Information and Communication Technologies incubations. Educational Objectives The educational objectives of this programme are to:

  1. Produce graduates who are able to practice computer engineering to serve Uganda and the regional industries, government agencies, or national and international industries.
  2. Produce graduates with the necessary background and technical skills to work professionally in one or more of the following areas: computer hardware and software design, computerbased systems, computer network design, system integration, electronic design automation.
  3. Prepare graduates for personal and professional success with awareness and commitment to their ethical and social responsibilities, both as individuals and in team environments.
  4. Prepare graduates who are capable of entering and succeeding in an advanced degree program in a field such as engineering, science, or business.
