Bachelor of Engineering Be in Computer Engineering

The Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering at the American University of Kuwait equips students to identify and solve complex engineering problems using principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. The program emphasizes engineering design that meets specific needs considering public health, safety, welfare, and various global and social factors. It also teaches students effective communication, ethical responsibilities, teamwork, experimentation, data analysis, and continuous learning. The degree requires completion of at least 134 credit hours including general education, related fields, and major requirements. The major includes core courses in digital logic, microprocessors, embedded systems, networks, software engineering, and a senior capstone project. Students complete electives in specialized areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, or IoT. Admission requires successful completion of MATH 110 with at least a C- grade. Transfer credits from accredited programs may be accepted.
