Academic Programs

The Department of Computer Engineering was established in 2004 under the Faculty of Engineering and Technology by Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan. Computer Engineering programs are accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). The modern era has witnessed rapid development in Computer Engineering, both in hardware and software. Each year a host of new advancements is unveiled, from home robotics to advanced operating systems. microprocessors, and supercomputers with massive computational capabilities Computer Engineers are responsible for the design and development of certain pieces of technology that are used every day From personal computers and desktops to smartphones and robotics, these advancements in technology are meant to add convenience to our daily lives Computer Engineering principles can be applied to several other purposes, including the development of integrated circuits, embedded systems, computer vision, computer systems architecture, and much more. Our society has become so dependent on computers that we cannot survive without them. Also, they are great tools for improving human productivity. The department plays an important role in fulfilling the demand for skilled Computer professionals. The graduates are already serving in various esteemed institutions across the country and abroad and many of them are pursuing their higher studies in various well-regarded universities of the world. Although the computer as a discipline is young, it has accomplished spectacular progress quickly. It is a common saying that Knowledge is power, but we say that the Knowledge of Computers is powerful. It is embarrassing all fields of knowledge and every discipline is leaned on computers even doctors, engineers, historians, and politicians. All are compelled to learn the Computer. The Department of Computer Engineering copes with the modem needs and its main objective is to produce quality computer professionals and software engineers to meet the emerging demands of national and international markets. We have a well-designed curriculum as per the requirements of HEC and PEC. The examination of the department is based on the semester system. To provide the experimental facilities to the students, the department has well equipped i.e. multimedia, WiFi, and Computer laboratories. The classrooms of the department also have modern facilities. Currently, the department is offering two programs, i.e. B.Sc. in Computer Engineering and M.Sc. in Computer Engineering (MS Graduate Program). Ph.D. in Computer Engineering will be launched soon.

Programs Offered:

• B.Sc. Computer Engineering (Undergraduate Program)
• M.Sc. Computer Engineering (Graduate MS Program)
