Overview
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at AURAK offers two degree programs at the undergraduate level: Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Both programs offered by the department are accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation at the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. While both programs share a wide variety of courses, each of them allows students to understand computers from a different perspective. Generally speaking, computer Science students will focus on software, algorithms and internet technologies, while computer engineering students will be exposed to a system-level view of the computer covering areas in computer hardware, software and networking. Computer Science and engineering graduates are in high demand in companies that research, design, develop, test, and oversee computer hardware or its installation, but they are also employed in virtually every industry. Whether it is for programming, installation of new systems, or highly specialized software – computer engineers and computer scientists work in the healthcare industry, transportation, academics, financial institutions, and service-oriented businesses. From telecommunications companies to airlines, you’ll find computer engineers and scientists.

Introduction to the department of CSE Laboratories:
Both Computer Science and Computer Engineering students attend practical courses at various laboratories during their studies. These hands-on courses can be either traditional three-credit-hour courses or one-hour co-requisite practical sessions in support of a theoretical course. These laboratories are used to explore a variety of topics that range from low-level to high-level programming languages in addition to hardware-dedicated courses such as microprocessors, computer architecture and embedded systems where students get the chance to build microprocessors, interface them to external components and build embedded systems based on these microprocessors.
CSE Laboratories
- Computer Architecture Laboratory (Room G327)Â
Hands on FPGA-Based computer architecture design and implementation in VHDL software; functional and timing simulation in VHDL; building and testing basic CPU components such as Multiplexers, Counters, ALUs, registers/shift registers, datapath, Control Unit and RAM.Â
