INTRODUCTION

The Department of Computer Engineering, which is based in the Faculty of Engineering, was created in the 1985/86 academic year to lead the way in the cycle of technological development. Since the last NUC visitation in 1989, the department has grown from an undergraduate enrolment of 144 students to 500 in recent times.

Since inception, the department has been rapidly finding its way into every aspect of life as it applied to industry, business, government, and home entertainment. The Department has conducted many seminars and workshops for private and public enterprises and has been very useful in providing computer and information technology services for the effective operation of some other departments within University in general.

The Department also participated in the giant UNESCO-assisted project for teaching of science and technology in high schools within Nigeria. Full Internet connectivity gives us unparalleled accesses to a worldwide base of information and arrangements are being made to launch the CEE website, designed by the undergraduate students of this department.

The department's courses for all programmes are constantly reviewed to meet with cutting-edge technologies in Computer Engineering.

To achieve these, the department has made untiring efforts to recruit very high-calibre academic and technical staff with solid backgrounds and professional experiences for research and consultancy in computer engineering projects. Most of our senior academic staff are fully registered engineers, while the senior technical staff belong to the appropriate professional bodies.

The teaching and research facilities in the department are continuously being updated and upgraded to meet current trends in computer technology.

For the technological development of the country, a lot is expected of our computer scientists and engineers - the solutions to most of our social and economic problems do require greatly the contributions of computer scientists and engineers to plan, design, build, develop, maintain and operate different machines and processes. To meet these technological challenges, the programmes here in the department of computer Engineering have been structured to close the gap between theory and practical work.

Objectives

The principal objective of the Department of computer Engineering is the training of engineers who are not only capable of meeting the challenges in the computer industry but also capable of being job-creators instead of job-seekers.  If therefore emphasizes a sound knowledge of engineering principles coupled with a high practical and innovative ability to shoulder a broad spectrum of engineering responsibilities.  Tom this end the courses offered in the department are designed to provide the educational training and skills necessary for understanding, planning, designing, operating and maintaining the various processes and operations involved in the modern computer industry.  In addition to the teaching programmes, the department encourages research and development work by the students and the academic staff.  This area is taken very seriously by this department in view of our present economic problems and lack of maintenance of numerous sophisticated machines from overseas dumped into this country.  Students are therefore encouraged to develop indigenous computers and computer-based solutions which are appropriate for our specific needs and environments.  They are likewise encouraged to design, assemble and construct the equipment needed for their research project.  Emphasis is placed on the design and implementation of microprocessor-based and microcomputer-based instrumentation and control systems, in order to afford students the opportunity to work with units which approximate those used in industries.

To keep up with advances in this discipline and ensure that these objectives are met, the department constantly updates its programme.  This ensures that graduates of the department are properly positioned to meet demands of modern-day cutting computer technology.

Mission Statement

TO INCULCATE IN THE STUDENTS THE IDEALS AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE IN GENERAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING IN PARTICULAR IN NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH A VIEW TO PROVIDING THE MUCH NEEDED QUALITY MANPOWER IN COMPUTER ENGINEERING, INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL, INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY, COMPUTER UTILIZATION, INCLUDING COMPUTER MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT.
