Computer Engineering is the driving force of the information revolution and its transformation of society. Over the course of their careers, computer engineers will be called upon to meet a number of challenges, most of which cannot be imagined today. Some current specialties include: computer architecture, digital electronics, digital circuits, very large-scale integrated circuit (VLSI) design, layout and testing, digital circuit testing and reliability, software design, software engineering, digital communication and computer networks.
The Curriculum
Computer engineering is a four-year, accredited program, which leads to eligibility for membership in the Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec. The program consists of the Engineering Core, taken by all engineering students, the program core and elective courses. The computer engineering core provides a thorough grounding in all aspects of computer hardware and software. The "system hardware option" develops a high level of proficiency in the design of digital circuitry and VLSI. The "system software option" provides expertise in real-time system design and in embedded systems. Technical electives allow students to acquire further knowledge in various aspects of hardware or software. In their final year, students will complete a design project giving them the opportunity to apply the knowledge they have acquired to the design and testing of a working prototype.
Practical Experience Through Projects and Laboratories
Throughout the program, projects are assigned to enable the student to apply the theories learned and to gain practical experience. Frequently, students undertake projects on their own initiative. Recent efforts include:
Hardware/software co-design of ROTOS accelerator on soft CPU
Intelligent building using wireless transmission
Wireless communication for data acquisition system
Video processing and transmission over IP for video surveillance
Centralized authentication service
Design and Implementation of a reliable data diode service
