Computer Engineering at University of Duisburg-Essen

About

The course of studies offers a balanced combination of courses from computer science, general engineering and natural sciences fundamentals. Students will receive the knowledge and skills that they need in their professional lives as engineers in the field of computer engineering. Through a basic and methods-oriented training and through the learning of working techniques in engineering science, they will be able to contribute as young professionals in the area in which they will be deployed, and later become attuned to future informatics technologies. In this manner, the graduates will be prepared for jobs like the creation and operation of computer systems and computer networks or the development of application-specific systems while using hardware components and applications of software technologies. The students will learn to use the skills of computer science in the application fields of natural sciences and engineering, and they will learn how to conduct a debate with colleagues from different disciplines on a technical level. In that way, graduates will be prepared primarily for the following occupational areas: Construction and operation of computer systems and computer networks Software engineering for technical or engineering-oriented fields of application Development of application-specific systems using hardware components and applying techniques of software engineering The undergraduate study course in "Computer Engineering" was consciously created as a combination of both knowledge domains of electrical engineering and computer science in order to offer graduates a broad variety of application fields. At the same time, the two areas of specialisation "Software Engineering" and "Communications" will be offered for graduates, so they can gain a background in computer science or electrical engineering and communications technology in order to be prepared for a professional occupation or pursue a Master's degree.
