Computer engineering is one of the most significant scientific studies of the 21st century. Specifically, its traditional disciplines, such as computer architecture, networks, and control systems, alongside modern specializations like robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cybersecurity, form the foundations of the information technology sector, which is increasingly important to Saudi Arabia's economic landscape. The Department of Computer Engineering is deeply committed to providing high-quality undergraduate and graduate education while maintaining excellence in scientific research. For over thirty years, our department has led innovative, multidisciplinary research initiatives and established strong partnerships with major industries to address the engineering challenges facing our society. Our goal is to continue maintaining ABET accreditation and strengthening our ties with the government and industry to remain one of the leading computer engineering departments in the Gulf region.
