Description Contents Requirements Funding

The college of computer and information sciences in King Saud University was founded in 1984. The college was founded with two departments; computer engineering and computer science. Since then the college has expanded and it currently has five departments; information systems, information technology, and software engineering, in addition to the two original departments. The college was borne from the need to have highly qualified computer engineers available.

The Department of Computer Engineering aims to graduate engineers specialized in various areas of computer engineering, who are capable of enhancing the Kingdom's fast-paced development. The graduate performs setting up standards for computer systems, providing technical consultation, as well as supervising installation, configuration, and operation of equipment. In addition, the graduate should be capable to design, develop, manage, and monitor the performance of computer networks. With the Kingdom's entry to the manufacturing era, the graduates will take an essential role in designing computer systems and computer networks. The graduate will design control systems for automated tasks in laboratories and factories.
