Computer Engineering

Objectives

The profile of the program comprises the training and development of technical and professional skills in the following areas of Computer Engineering:

• Software Development;
• Specification, Installation and Management of Computer Systems and Networks;
• Management of support technology for Information Systems.
• ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) Project Development.

Professional Goals

There is a severe shortage of computer engineers in the labour market; therefore the demand has been increasingly greater than the supply. The occupational profile of these professionals is also increasingly broader.

In general, graduates in Computer Engineering develop their activities in all kinds of organizations. They design, develop and manage computer-based systems. They deal with applications (software) and most computer equipment (hardware). They collaborate in the automation process of organisations and in the development of their information systems. They establish internal networks of communication within organizations (intranets) and establish a presence, as effective and safe as possible, of the organizations in external networks (Internet) to communicate with clients, partners and government officials.

Increasingly,computer engineers assume sociocultural importance in networking and computing systems with a high degree of accessibility and universality that allow communication among different generations, cultures, regions, social backgrounds, etc..
