General Information
Computer engineering is the field of engineering related to the development of software, the design, manufacture, application and control of computers and related devices. Computer engineering is a field of science that combines all the hardware and software that enables the storage of information in an electronic environment, the processing of this information by algorithmic methods and the delivery of processed information to the user. Computer engineering consists of two parts: software engineering and hardware engineering. Software engineering deals with the creation, optimization, testing, simulation, and application of system and application software. Hardware engineering deals with building, programming, testing and simulating the architecture of logical systems, consisting of digital hardware and electronic components.
Baku Higher Oil School opened the “Computer Engineering” specialty in 2021. The curriculum of the new specialty was developed by the faculty of the Process Automation Engineering Department. In the 2021/2022 academic year, the first 50 students were admitted to this specialty. The duration of training for the “Computer Engineering” specialty is 5 years.
Objectives of “Computer Engineering” bachelor’s degree program
Bachelor's degree program is designed to provide students with the foundational knowledge and practical skills required to design, develop, and optimize computer hardware and software systems.
