All students will follow a Common Curriculum during the first Academic Year (first and second
Semesters) of study. Selection of students to one of the four fields of specialization will take place at the end of the first Academic Year. The selection process is strictly based on the preference and performance of the students during the first Academic Year.
Once a student has been assigned a field of specialization by the Faculty, he is required to take all compulsory courses as stated in the curriculum of the department. In addition, the student is required to take elective courses from each basket of Elective Courses, such that the minimum stipulated credit requirement is satisfied.
Students will be awarded Bachelor of the Science of Engineering Honours specialized in Computer Engineering after successfully completion of the undergraduate program.
Data management is crucial for AI systems as it involves organizing and processing the vast amounts of data needed to train and optimize artificial intelligence models.
High-performance computing refers to the use of powerful computers and parallel processing techniques to solve complex problems and execute demanding computational tasks at a significantly faster rate than conventional systems.
