Master
of Software Engineering This degree is a 2-year
(33 credits) program consisting of a main module of four courses and the rest from
specialized elective courses from several tracks. Students who are interested in
research and development can also take two courses in research methodologies (total
of 3 credits) and a 6-credit Master Thesis during their second year of study. The computer engineering
graduate degree program offers students with an undergraduate degree the opportunity
to pursue their studies with a research based option as well as advanced specialized
course option. The objective of the program
is to provide students with the tools to enable them to accomplish any one or combination
of the three following objectives: - Pursue a career in
their field of expertise. - Become leaders and
entrepreneurs. - Become proficient
in academic research to continue their studies at the doctoral level. The program offers
the following tracks as a guideline for students to choose their specialization.
Research and thesis track, high performance computing and analytics track and systems
track. In addition to the core courses, students are allowed to take courses on
advanced specialized topics. By the end of the
program, students will have gained advanced knowledge and expertise to perform system
design, research and development. In addition, they will have developed entrepreneurship
and leadership skills and innovation. Furthermore, students are expected take part
in industrial collaboration, teaching and cutting edge research with other faculty
members and mentor undergraduate students.
The department of
computer engineering at BIHE is committed to offering graduate courses on par with
international standards. Our online courses are offered by faculty from around the
world who have graduated from and are teaching in the top universities of the world.
The courses are selected to promote and encourage leadership in bringing cutting
edge technological advancement and to satisfy the needs of the industry while providing
the capability to advance to higher degrees. Students are also encouraged to take
part in visiting scholar and exchange programs. Consisting of more
than 20 faculty members and staff, the faculty of the graduate program are volunteers
from among professional experts in the field and professors from accredited universities
around the world, who offer the courses online. The applicants should
have at minimum a BS degree in computer science or engineering with a B- average,
and English efficiency (IELT) score of 5.5. A committee of faculty members evaluates
the qualifications of each applicant. Students from other engineering majors are
admitted into the pre-Master program and required to pass up to 30 credits of the
bachelor of computer science program prior to admission into the postgraduate program. The duration of the
program is two years. During this time, the students have to pass 33 credits of
postgraduate program courses with a minimum B- grade average. All students are encouraged to take a 6 credit
thesis course, work with their thesis supervisor, and conduct research on a topic
of their choice that is approved by graduate committee. The students who choose
not to do a thesis can take 6 credits of regular coursework instead. Program’s Role in the Community Some of the graduates of this program have already received their Ph.D. from
universities around the world and already acting as faculty in the BIHE. Further, there are several more who are serving
in the BIHE in different levels and capacities to give back to the academic community.
