Program Overview

Computer Engineering Course

The Computer Engineering course is taught during the day and offered by the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering in partnership with the Institute of Computing at UNICAMP, allowing students to choose one of the following modalities:

• Computer Systems (AA modality)
• Systems and Processes (AB modality)

By the end of the 4th semester, students must choose which learning path to follow until the end of the course.

Course Description

The course provides a solid foundation, transcending technological fads in the field of computing, allowing future engineers to adapt to new developments and technologies that will emerge throughout their professional careers.

The course curriculum has an important characteristic: almost 30% of the mandatory subjects are taught in laboratories, and from the beginning, students have practical experience in the various areas in which they may work professionally.

The course is taught by experienced professors who work full-time in teaching and research, using advanced technological resources available in the FEEC laboratories.

Course Details

• Daytime Course Full-time (34)
• Vacancies: 90
• Completion time: 10 semesters

The Role of a Computer Engineer

Computer engineers are a new type of professional that has become necessary due to advances in computer science and information technology. This professional should have a diverse profile that encompasses the various facets of computer science, including the construction, programming, and application of computer systems in a wide range of fields such as software design, hardware design, and applications.

Aiming to achieve this profile, the Computer Engineering course offers, from the middle of the course onwards, the option between two training modalities:

• Computer Systems AA level, focused on the specific activities of the computer industry and applications
• Systems and Processes AB modality, focused on the construction and application of computer systems in various areas such as telecommunications, automation, biomedical engineering, and others.

The Computer Engineering program at UNICAMP is solid, ranging from the fundamentals of Engineering to Computer Science, including technical specializations in software, hardware, and computer applications.

Therefore, a computer engineer can work in any area of computer science, whether in computer manufacturing companies or in companies or industries that use computer technology.

There are also good job opportunities in financial groups, research and development centers, universities, educational institutions, and the public service.
