The program was launched in 2017 and recently updated in 2022.  Subject to periodic review changes to the curriculum might be introduced prior to the beginning of each academic year.

The School of Technologies’ computer engineering program is based on international standards.

The academic staff of computer engineering is compiled of professional staff with experience gained in European and American educational institutions. The partner organizations of the program are the leading high-tech companies on the local market, as well as internationally recognized universities.

Computer engineering is one of the most demanded and highly paid professions in the modern world and constantly developing. Program students have the opportunity to work on innovative ideas and develop them on university-based state-of-the-art technology databases such as Unilab and FabLab. Various Zoomout pre-accelerator programs help students implement their idea.

Ilia State University also cooperates with the following institutions:

• Missouri University of Science and Technology, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory;
• LEPL State Military-Scientific Technical Center “Delta”;
• Company “Inotech”;
• Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing Consulting Center “Geographic”;
• The company “Vrex Immersive”;
• Company “Idea Design Group”.

Program graduates will be qualified to pursue their professional careers in:

• High-Tech Companies;
• Automotive Industry;
• Manufacturing plants;
• Computer and Electronics Service;
• Smart systems;
• IOT;
• Telecommunications;
• Medical and BioLabs;
• Tech Startups;
• Hardware R&D.

Also, the graduates of the program can continue their academic studies at a master level.

The program learning outcomes aim at equipping students with:  

• An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
• An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors;
• An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
• 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;
• An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
• An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
• An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

The aim of the bachelor program is to prepare highly qualified computer engineers who will be equipped with extensive knowledge in design, developing and operation of computer hardware, as well as in the development of computer software. To this end, it intends to well-pad its students with broad knowledge of computer hardware, electronic devices, their technical characteristics and related physical processes, as well as computational and engineering skills for using various ways and methods for their improvement. At the same time, the program aims to develop the professional skills of the students that will allow them to have successful careers in computer engineering.

Program Educational Objectives:

The objectives of the Computer Engineering program are to produce graduates who within 3-5 years after graduation, will be able to:

Objective 1: Graduates will have practical skills in modern engineering and contribute to the development of society.

Objective 2: Graduates will have the professional skills necessary for employment, who will be able to make engineering and technological decisions with high technical and ethical standards;

Objective 3: Graduates will have the appropriate knowledge and skills necessary to continue learning and acquire new knowledge in a changing professional field.

All students admitted to the bachelor program are required to accumulate 244 ECTS to be awarded their Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering.

8 Semesters, 244 ECTS (1 ECTS: 25 hours)

• Free Component: General Module – 88 ECTS;
• Major – 156 ECTS (including 36 ECTS electives).

Senior Design Project

The bachelor program in Computer Engineering culminates with a Senior Design Project (12 ECTS). The main purpose of the design experience is to prepare students for the real-world challenges in the field of Computer Engineering by allowing them to use their problem-solving skills to find engineering design solutions to industry problems. The students will also develop their managerial skills through planning, design and meeting deadlines together with industry participation. Finally, students will improve their communication, presentation and teamwork skills during these practical components of the program.

Senior-design teams will under the supervision of a faculty mentor/supervisor and with an agreed industry sponsor that will be involved in the forerunning semester for collaboration with the students in the Project Concept Development phase and in the final semester as Project Reviewer. Even though students will be working in groups, each student will need to submit an individual activity report showing which tasks they have been assigned by the group and approved by the Faculty advisor and how they have managed to complete their individual tasks. All group members will also assess each other anonymously against such criteria as  active involvement/contribution, availability and ability to meet team set deadlines.
