Computer Control Engineering Branch

The Computer and Control Engineering Branch was established in 1986 and it awards graduates of the preliminary study a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and Control. During the study period, the student will be provided with a variety of theoretical and practical knowledge to give the basics that are necessary to deal with the design of digital systems, including digital computers, as well as with its various applications. Theoretical topics given during the study period combine the basics of electrical and electronic engineering, design of digital systems, microprocessors, computer architecture, computer applications, as well as computer networks and other basic lessons. There is a focus on the practical side of the laboratory during the study and this is evidenced by the many laboratories that the student deals with during the study and associated with theoretical and practical subjects. The branch occasionally opens postgraduate studies to grant master and doctoral degrees in computer engineering and control. The method of study of the two certificates combines scientific courses and research, noting that the scientific courses combine theoretical lessons and laboratory classes.

Educational Goals

  • First: To provide students with basic knowledge and technical information to achieve a successful career in the field of computer engineering.
  • Second: Graduation of students who are able to pursue graduate studies.
  • Third: To prepare successful professional students who have the ability to communicate and are committed to social and ethical responsibilities and diversity with the ability to continue education and work in collective teams.

Research Trends

The professors of the branch are interested in several research topics including:

  1. Design of computer networks.
  2. Data security and communication via computers.
  3. Applications of digital computers and microprocessors in monitoring and automated control.
  4. Artificial intelligence systems and ways to search for optimal solutions.
  5. Evolutionary computing.
  6. Image processing and reference applications.
  7. Modeling and systems identification.
  8. Digital systems design.
  9. Applications of the theory of the state of shapes in engineering

Computer Control Engineering (CCE) Graduate Outcomes (GOs):

 Students from the CCE program will attain (by the time of graduation):

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve computer control engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. An ability to apply the engineering design process to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration for public health and safety, and global, cultural, social, environmental, economic, and other factors as appropriate to the discipline
  3. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  4. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  5. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
  6. An ability to recognize the ongoing need to acquire new knowledge, to choose appropriate learning strategies, and to apply this knowledge
  7. An ability to function effectively as a member or leader of a team that establishes goals, plans tasks, meets deadlines, and creates a collaborative and inclusive environment.
