The Department of Computer Engineering was founded in 1982. The Computer
Engineering undergraduate program was designed to meet the requirements of
IEEE/ACM Joint Curriculum Committee. The first diplomas were awarded in 1986.
That was also the year when the Computer Engineering MS and PhD programs were
designed and commenced. In 1992, both the undergraduate and the graduate
programs were revised to comply with the newly published IEEE/ACM joint
Curriculum Committee report.
