The Department of Computer Engineering aims to graduate engineers specialized in various areas of computer engineering, who are capable of enhancing the Kingdom's fast-paced development. For that reason, the Bachelor's degree in computer engineering was laid down to qualify the student with the essential technical and scientific knowledge necessary to the computer engineer in the areas of mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, and computer science. In addition, the student gains a great deal of concentrated knowledge in computer architecture, logic design, microprocessor technologies, microcomputers, and also in computer communications networks and control systems.

The student applies his academic knowledge in his laboratory experiences in the different labs involving the department's various specialties. The program takes into consideration and keeps up with the field's fast-paced development, one of the most important characteristics of computer engineering. A minimum of 162 credit-hours is required for obtaining a Bachelor's degree in computer engineering.
