Unlock Your Future: Join HKUST’s Computer Engineering Program!

By Prof. Desmond Tsoi

Are you ready to start a journey that combines the best of both worlds? Welcome to HKUST’s Computer Engineering Program (CPEG), an exciting partnership of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE). This distinctive program is meant for students who are not just after learning, but are innovating and leading in this ever-changing tech world.

Add to this the knowledge of the latest computer science that meets the fine detail of electronic engineering. CPEG offers a balanced focus on computer hardware and software design and implementation and is an excellent choice for those who wish to be architects of the information age. The era of technology and data is well upon us, and it’s moving fast—so is our program, preparing you to be an all-around innovator in engineering, science, and business.

At CPEG, we teach more than just coding and circuit design. We equip you to plan, design, prototype, test, reflect, and communicate well. Our students are able to innovate in multidisciplinary teams, acquiring the knowledge to solve hard problems that cross the traditional domains of software and hardware. This flexibility presents the potential for many different careers, including tech leadership.

We are in an information age, and the arrival of 5G transforms our world. As big data and sensor devices continue to pervade, CPEG students are leading the charge to design integrated systems in which both the software and hardware are no longer a dichotomy. Our graduates are not merely a part of this revolution; they are the creators of tomorrow’s state-of-the-art computer applications, ranging from automation to sophisticated information systems.

What’s more, we believe that our students will leverage the power of artificial intelligence in ways that are beyond our current imagination, preparing for a better world. With a strong faculty team coming from both CSE and ECE, students benefit from a wealth of knowledge and experience. You’ll have access to advanced lab facilities and the opportunity to choose Final Year Projects (FYP) from a broad range of CSE and ECE faculty members, providing a diverse and comprehensive educational experience.

At CPEG, we appreciate all the relationships we have developed with students and alumni. We have a lively society with a series of regular events including lunch and dinner gatherings, graduation celebration, FYP sharing session, career workshops, alumni talks and much more! They are both fun as well as valuable learning experiences, but most importantly, they foster relationships and friends that can last a lifetime after graduation!

So, are you ready to take the leap? Join the Computer Engineering Program and be a part of a community of innovators changing the world. With us, you won’t just learn—you’ll innovate, and lead, and make an impact. Your journey starts here—let’s build the future together!
