GRADUATE PROGRAMS

The Department offers high standard two graduate (master) programs, These are: Computer Engineering and Information Technology. These programs create good career opportunities for students both at home and abroad.

I. COMPUTER ENGINEERING

The program is open to all university graduates. The knowledge of analog electronics, digital electronics and C programming language will be helpful. In the case of lack of this background, the students are strongly recommended to take related undergraduate courses.

The aim of this program is to advance the students' knowledge of programming, computer aided experiments and digital control. These are:

• Database management
• Application of microprocessors, micro controllers and digital signal processors
• Distributed control
• Computer networks and security
• Computer simulation
• Artificial Intelligence
• Image processing, and pattern recognition
• Expert Systems
• Robotics
• Neural Networks
• Parallel Computing and Memory Optimization
• Software Engineering.
