Introduction
The computer engineering programme is a 4-year Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) programme conducted jointly by the Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) and School of Computing (SoC). Its main aim is to produce graduates with professional engineering degrees, and who are specialized in both computer hardware and software with general proficiency in the areas of communications, control, microelectronics, software engineering, multimedia, parallel and distributed systems.

The curriculum is designed such that the programme will have the accreditation and recognition from the Professional Engineering Board (PEB) and the IEE (UK). It is heavily project oriented, involving 3 compulsory projects, a half year industrial attachment, and a dissertation. Two second year hardware projects will be carried out in the Electrical Engineering Department, a third year software project will be undertaken in School of Computing, and a final year project may be carried out in either with possible joint supervision. Upon completion of the 4 years of studies, a B.Eng. (Comp. Eng.) degree will be awarded with the following classifications :

First Class Honours
Second Class Honours (Upper Division)
Second Class Honours (Lower Division)
Third Class Honours
Pass with Merit
Pass

A candidate who proposes to read Computer Engineering must have good passes in Mathematics, and either Physics or Physical Science at the Singapore-Cambridge G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination. In addition, it is preferred that the candidate has taken Computing or Further Mathematics at the G.C.E. ‘A’ Level Examination. Polytechnic graduates with good results in computer science or electronics engineering can apply for advanced standing in the programme.

Course Structure

For the Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Engineering, a candidate must read the following number of modules (normally over 8 semesters) consisting of:
12 essential modules from EE
12 essential modules from SoC
 5 elective modules from EE
 5 elective modules from SoC
 3 essential project modules (2 hardware and 1 software)
 1 Human Resource Management module
 1 semester of Industrial Attachment, and
 2 semesters of B. Eng. Dissertation (final year project)

* In addition, students are also required to pass the stipulated number of cross faculty modules during their entire course of study in NUS.

The Computer Engineering modular curriculum is structured to combine strong core curriculums from the Department of EE and SoC. Graduates from this programme will develop key competence in computer hardware and software. The elective modules allow candidates to specialize in areas that interest them and are targeted towards specific job segments. Project modules and thesis prepare them with an in-depth knowledge and practical experience in the computer industry.
