The main function of the department initially was to conduct programming courses to the students in all disciplines of the Faculty.
The demand from the students for Computer Engineering has been high and a limited number is admitted to follow it.
The graduates who have specialized in Computer Engineering are highly sought after by local as well as foreign employers.
In view of the good employment prospects for Computer Engineering graduates and the large demand from the students, the department has initiated a degree programme leading to the B.Sc.
The organization is headed by the ACES council (consisting of undergraduates as the president, secretary, and committee and a senior treasurer from the academic staff).
