Computer Engineering is a four-year degree program that deals with the study of computer systems. The curriculum covers both software and hardware and develops the student's ability to analyze computer systems, designs, construction of electronic equipment and its peripherals. Since computer science is directed to the theory and technology of computation, the curriculum does not specialize along traditional lines that divide hardware and software, systems and applications, or theory and experiment. Rather, a unified approach to the design and analysis of computers and of computing structures is employed. This background prepares the student for placements as computer engineers in government industry. It also qualifies them for related job with computer manufacturers and consulting firms as systems programmers as well as application programmers with scientific, research, and business organizations. The ethical considerations with respect to the profession is an important component of the program of study.
The BSCpE curriculum has four (4) tracks of specialization namely: (a) Computer Network Engineering; (b) Machine Learning; (c) Big Data; and (d) System Development. It is designed to prepare graduates in accordance with the institutional and program outcomes.
The curriculum has a total of 188 credit units comprising of 129 units of technical courses. These technical courses include 12 units of mathematics, 8 units of natural/physical sciences, 4 units of basic engineering sciences, 11 units of allied courses, 78 units of professional courses (common), 12 units of professional courses (specialized), and 4 units on the job training (OJT),
The non-technical courses in accordance with CMO 20 s. 2013 - The New General Education Curriculum consist of 59 units of general education courses distributed as follows: 33 units of core courses, 9 units of GEC electives, and 3 units of Life and Works of Rizal.
The new GEC also includes 8 units of Physical Education (PE), and 6 units of National Service Training Program (NSTP).
