BS Computer Engineering Program
Department of Electrical Engineering - National University of Modern Languages (NUML)
Head of Department: Dr. Farhan Sohail
Introduction
In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the boundaries between traditional disciplines are dissolving. Electrical Engineering and Computer Science are merging to create a powerful force for innovation. Hardware and software are no longer separate entities but work together seamlessly to power everything from smartphones and autonomous vehicles to smart cities and intelligent infrastructure. This interdisciplinary approach is fueling breakthrough developments in embedded systems, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, and intelligent hardware design.
The BSCE program at NUML is designed to produce versatile engineers who are equally proficient in hardware design and software development, with a strong foundation in modern technologies including artificial intelligence and machine learning. Our graduates are equipped with the comprehensive skillset needed to tackle complex challenges—whether designing intelligent embedded systems, developing AI-powered applications, creating IoT solutions, or applying cutting-edge techniques to both hardware architecture and software engineering.
This unique versatility makes our graduates industry-ready across multiple domains. They can seamlessly transition between hardware and software roles, integrate AI and ML capabilities into embedded platforms, and apply modern computational techniques to optimize system performance. In an era where every device is becoming smart and connected, this breadth of expertise is invaluable.
The program is accredited by the National Computing Education Accreditation Council (NCEAC), ensuring that our curriculum meets the highest national standards and aligns with the strategic vision of HEC. This accreditation recognizes the program's excellence in merging electrical engineering and computer science to propel technological innovation and address the complex challenges of the 21st century.
The BS Computer Engineering Program is offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering, which brings over 16 years of proven excellence in engineering education. Under the leadership of Dr. Farhan Sohail, the department has cultivated a dynamic learning environment enriched with modern laboratories, advanced infrastructure including dedicated AI/ML facilities, and industry partnerships that bridge the gap between academia and real-world applications.
Our commitment to producing globally competitive engineers is reflected in our international collaborations and student exchange programs with Duzce University (Turkey) and Dong-A University (South Korea). These partnerships offer students invaluable opportunities for cross-cultural learning, research collaboration, and international networking that enhance their professional prospects in the global technology landscape.
