Communications and Information Engineering

Communications and information Engineering (CIE) is at the heart of the industrial 4.0 revolution that impacts everyone's life. New intelligent systems that are interconnected, embedded, and controlled are continually evolving. There is a need for experts who can develop and operate such intelligent systems. The CIE program offers a combination of knowledge about electronics, communications technologies, control, embedded systems, and machine learning. The program offers a large proportion of electives that enable the student to tailor their education in one of four areas: communication technologies, artificial intelligence, high performance computing, and robotics. 

Teaching is conducted in a combination of lectures, practice, and hands-on lab work and course projects in addition to the capstone project at the final year. Moreover, CIE program puts special emphasis on topics essential for technological development such as project management, presentation skills, entrepreneurship, and business development.

 

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Communications and Information Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, the global accreditor of college and university programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology.
