Is Computer Engineering right for you?
An engineering degree for students who want to understand computing from digital hardware and architecture through software, networks, data and intelligent systems.
Know this before choosing
Computer engineering is broader than learning to code. Expect circuits, electronics, mathematics, architecture, signals, networks, technical documentation and substantial team projects.
What you will learn
Build from logic to complete systems.
Computer Engineering connects three layers: the code people use, the hardware that executes it, and the networks and data that make a system useful.
01 · Code
Programming, algorithms and data
Turn logic into software you can test, explain and improve when the first solution fails.
- Programming
- Algorithms
- Data structures
02 · Build
Digital hardware and architecture
Follow instructions below the interface through logic, processors, circuits and instruments.
- Digital logic
- Microprocessors
- Architecture
03 · Connect
Systems, networks and intelligence
Bring operating systems, databases, networks and AI together in complete engineering projects.
- Systems
- Networks
- AI and data
The four-year journey
Each year moves closer to a system you can demonstrate.
Open a year for representative subjects. The official TU/IOE syllabus remains the authority.
01Year 1Engineering & programming foundations
Learn the mathematics, science, drawing, programming and electronics shared by the discipline.
Semester 1
Engineering Mathematics I · Computer Programming · Basic Electrical Engineering · Engineering Physics
Semester 2
Engineering Mathematics II · Engineering Chemistry · Object-Oriented Programming · Basic Electronics Engineering
02Year 2Data structures, circuits and logic
Study how information is represented, processed and controlled across software and hardware.
Semester 3
Engineering Mathematics III · Data Structures & Algorithms · Digital Logic · Electric Circuit Theory
Semester 4
Applied Mathematics · Numerical Methods · Discrete Structures · Microprocessor
03Year 3Systems, AI and minor project
Bring architecture, communication, operating systems, databases and software practice together.
Semester 5
Probability & Statistics · Computer Organization & Architecture · Data Communication · Software Engineering
Semester 6
Object-Oriented Analysis & Design · Artificial Intelligence · Operating Systems · Database Management Systems
04Year 4Networks, distributed systems and major project
Work across connected systems, graphics, security and professional project delivery.
Semester 7
Computer Networks & Security · Distributed Systems · Digital Signal Analysis & Processing · Computer Graphics
Semester 8
Information Systems · Simulation & Modeling · Internet & Intranet · Engineering Professional Practice
Practical learning
Build it. Break it. Explain why it works.
Laboratories and projects turn code, circuits and architecture into systems that must survive testing, integration and review.
- Programming laboratory
- Digital logic and hardware
- Microprocessor and instrumentation
- Networking and systems
- Database and AI work
- Minor and major project space
Where it can lead
Choose a direction through the systems you can show.
Computer engineers can move toward software, infrastructure, data, security, embedded work or graduate study. Employers will look beyond the degree title to projects, fundamentals, communication and evidence that you can learn unfamiliar systems.
- Software engineering
- Data and AI
- Network and cybersecurity
- Systems and cloud infrastructure
- Database and backend engineering
- Embedded or postgraduate study

Questions students ask
Clear answers before a four-year decision.
Do I need to know programming before I join?
No. Programming is introduced as part of the degree. Prior practice can help, but mathematical readiness, curiosity and willingness to debug patiently are stronger predictors of a good start.
Is the curriculum shown here final?
It is an indicative year-by-year guide based on the current IOE structure. Tribhuvan University and the Institute of Engineering remain the authority for the official syllabus, subject codes and any revisions.
How do I get the current fee sheet?
Request the dated fee sheet from the admissions team. They will explain the current intake, payment schedule, scholarship conditions and any university charges before you make a decision.
Can I visit before applying?
Yes. Ask admissions to arrange a campus visit so you can see relevant learning spaces, discuss eligibility and bring a parent or guardian if you prefer.
Are scholarships available?
ICE advertises merit scholarships ranging from 50% to 100%. Availability and continuation conditions depend on the intake, results and published college policy, so confirm the terms in writing with admissions.
