The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is paying special attention to computer technology engineering and its utilization and developing it into one of the fundamental tools to modernize its industry and trade system.
The tremendous reduction over the last decade in the cost of digital systems has led to an explosive growth in the use of computers and computation. Today computer Engineering is among the fastest growing disciplines.
The computer Engineering Department provides a program to develop the necessary skills and competence to design and implement computer systems and networks. The core courses of the computer engineering curriculum provide the skills necessary for all computer engineers. A set of options allow the students to develop further specialization in the following disciplines :
 Computer Architecture & Design.
Digital Design Automation & VLSI System Design.
Data Communications & Computer Networks.
Computer Applications : Robotics , Interfacing , Computer Vision , and Image Processing.
It is expected that computer engineering will play an important role in the future and in the growth of the Kingdom.
Many of the products and services for the future growth of the Kingdom will be based on the work of computer engineers.
The computer engineering curriculum emphasizes digital systems architecture and design , microprocessors , integrated circuit technology , communication theory and computer networks. In addition , enough emphasis is given to the study of computer science to provide coherent view of computer systems and an understanding of the interdependencies of hardware and software components and their interfaces.
Thus, it is distinct from Electrical Engineering, where the emphasis is on power systems and heavy currents.
Computer Engineering Program
Computer engineering deals with the design and development of computer systems while emphasizing such factors as function, performance, cost, size, reliability and interfacing.
The Computer Engineering Program is designed to provide the student with an intensive background in the analysis, structure, design and implementation of digital computers and information processing systems.
