Master of Engineering (MEng) Program

CREDIT HOURS: 33

OVERVIEW

The Master of Engineering (MEng) Degree in Computer Engineering (Specifically focused on Embedded Systems Engineering and Network systems Engineering tracks) prepare graduate students for higher level professional practice in local and international markets. It is intended for site engineers who wish to master the practice in their field of specialty.

Applicants to the Master of Engineering (MEng) Program of Engineering must hold a university undergraduate Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college. An overall Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 2.40/4.00 (or Good) in the undergraduate degree is required.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

• Detailed knowledge in recent and practical computer engineering technologies.
• Extensive knowledge in several disciplines of computer engineering technology (Ex: VLSI System design, real time systems, embedded systems, etc…)
•  Increasing the awareness of the local and global context in which computer engineering is practiced.
• An ability to solve engineering problems, think critically, function well in a team, and communicate effectively.
• A high standard of written and oral communication on technical matters.

 

Curriculum

In order to earn the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree, the student must achieve 33 credit hours (27 coursework + 6 Project).  This coursework requires a total of ten courses: 4 core courses, any 3 elective specialized courses (some will be in joint with industry), and 2 courses from elective common courses group with master of science. 

Course work for the MEng degree requires the completion of a minimum of (33) credit hours as follows:

A. Core courses: 3 courses from the M.Sc.core list+1 specialized core course (12 Cr. Hrs.)

B. General elective courses: 2 electives from the M.Sc. electives list. (6 Cr. Hrs.)

C. Specialized elective courses: 3 electives from elective list(9 Cr. Hrs.)

D. Case study application with one supervisor. (6 Cr. Hrs.)

 

The candidates should register Case Study Application (CC 790E), (6 Cr. Hrs.), which relates to the fields of Embedded Systems or Computer Networks. The candidate must submit a final technical report under supervision of one professor and present his/her case study to an internal committee in order to discuss and evaluate his/her work.
