About CEN

The main goal of the Department of Computer Engineering is to train the engineers in the different fields of Computer Engineering and give to the graduate engineers an ability and capability engineers to shift their mindset from being job seekers to job creators.

The Department of Computer Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, University of Buea, teaches courses in software engineering and network engineering. In their training and to be operational, multidisciplinary fields can help the students trained to improve their performance and their capacity to work in a team. The introduction of an upgraded Engineering Undergraduate program and an Engineering Master’s in Computer Engineering is intended to address this issue. But foremost, the job market demands that employees be very knowledgeable in their specialties, be flexible and responsive to the ever changing job market of IT. The department of Computer Engineering through these programs aims to raise its Engineering profile and that of its young staff.
