3. BS in Computer Engineering (BSCE) Program Description

3.1 Introduction

Computer engineering is a branch of engineering that encompasses the theory,

design, and application of computer and information processing techniques.

Computer Engineering Program combines theoretical foundations in physical and

computer science with the system, software and hardware engineering concepts

which are needed to develop reliable and effective computer based devices and

systems. The Computer Engineering program teaches both software and hardware

development. Software development focuses on the application of engineering

design principles for the development of effective, efficient and functionally correct

computer software. Hardware development concentrates on the design of hardware

structures to support computer-controlled processes.

The BSCE program is designed to provide several important features that include a

set of core courses to provide breadth in the field, additional specialized courses to

provide in depth knowledge and understanding of different major areas of computer

Engineering. The curriculum is flexible and provides opportunity for students to

specialize in the areas of their interests through the choice of appropriate computer

Engineering electives. The program structure allows the students to choose 6 credits

(2 courses) as CE electives and 3 credits (1 course) as social science elective. A

well integrated lecture and laboratory component is another important feature of this

program.

Our CE program closely follows the ACM/IEEE Computing Curricula 2005

recommendations and is designed to match the standards required to achieve ABET

and NCAAA accreditation .

7. Program Development Process and Quality Assurance Measures

7.1 Program Development Process

Under the directive of Director General of Royal Commission Yanbu, an independent Central Curriculum Committee (CCC) was established with its membership from all the Heads of Department of Yanbu University College (YUC). The team that comprises of four members, which are Head of Computer Science Engineering Department, Head of General Studies Department, Head of Applied Linguistics Department and Head of Management Information Systems Department is working relentlessly with the CSE Internal Curriculum Development Committee(CSE ICDC) to review the plan and curriculum for various academic program proposed by the ICDC. The ICDC is comprises of five permanent members and external subject experts within the department. The full membership of this committee is listed in the Appendix-D. Primary duty of ICDC is to prepare the any new curriculum packages for Department of Computer Science Engineering programs. At the same time monitor the quality assurance process in curriculum development. The ICDC undertook this monumental task with the external subject experts to tailor the program specifications, objectives and outcomes also to assist in determining future career opportunities upon graduating. The team started by preparing draft program structure along with the program specifications, course specifications and course descriptions and then revised these drafts after discussions with the members of ICDC and getting initial approval through CSE Departments meetings. During the developmental process a variety of Bachelor degree programs in CE from local and international institutions were examined. Since the program objectives and the outcomes of the program were in close match with the Computer Science program offered by the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Dhahran, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, therefore, the program offered by the KFUPM was closely consulted. The general guidelines of Ministry of Higher Education were also incorporated during the designing stage of this program.


7.2. Quality Assurance Measures While preparing the program structure, program specifications, course specifications and descriptions of Computer Engineering program, special attention is being given to incorporate factors relating to formal accreditation criteria and the requirements set out by the NCAAA also ABET. The general education requirements, core requirements, and elective courses have been carefully planned to meet the ABET accreditation requirements. Additionally, the program also has been based on the Joint Task Force for Computing Curricula 2005 by IEEE-CS/ACM and AIS. . At this stage, the program is ready to be sent to independent experts/referees. The views and comments received from them shall be incorporated and the program shall be modified accordingly. Subsequently, the program will be presented to The Royal Commission Higher Council of Colleges and Institutes, and The Ministry of Higher Education for approval.

8. Statement of Approval
