Computer Engineering involves designing and processing data through the hardware and software parts of a computer. Hardware parts represent physical components such as processors, memory cards and any other peripherals, while software parts include all the programs used to perform a certain task.
At the end of this program, the student is able to conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, design a system with all its components and identify problems by providing technical solutions.
The study program focuses on basic technical and scientific preparations in several disciplines, allowing a graduate to specialize in professional fields that characterize a Computer Engineer.
With the acquired skills, graduate students in this program can work both inside and outside the country, in the public and private sector as computer network administrator, program developer, hardware engineers, systems analyst, etc.
The Bachelor’s Degree program in Computer Engineering aims to prepare professionals in the field of technology in general, with a special focus on the design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of complex architectures as well as ensuring information security in online systems. The main focus remains the digitalization of work processes in two primary directions: in industry, specifically the automation of work processes through digital control, and in services with a primary focus on data processing. An important aspect is the integration with artificial intelligence and what is today known as the “Internet of Things,” aiming to provide new services or improve existing services based on digital operation.
During this study cycle, students have the opportunity to become familiar with the fundamentals of information technology by acquiring general knowledge about hardware, including computer architectures and the integration of different units for executing complex systems that meet the needs for secure data processing and exchange. Additionally, the study program offers an overview of programming languages by studying one language from each family.
Among the programming languages covered are: C as the foundation for basic programming knowledge and its use in high-performance computing systems; Java as the most representative language of the object-oriented programming family, widely used due to its flexibility and platform independence; HTML/CSS for front-end web programming; PHP for back-end web programming; SQL for database management; and Shell Script for operating system management.
The Bachelor’s Degree program in Computer Engineering is a significant program, created entirely through research in both the domestic and international job markets, as well as comparison with programs from foreign universities. This program is a convincing choice for future professionals because:
Information technology is a field that has penetrated all sectors of the economy. Graduates of the Bachelor’s Degree program in Computer Engineering at Metropolitan University of Tirana can work in various technology sectors, both in industry and in the service sector.
The largest market currently is dominated by the service sector, where large or medium-sized companies offer infrastructure solutions to their clients such as:3 Years
