Elizade University was established in 2012 through due process of obtaining approval for the establishment of the University. After applying to the Federal Government of Nigeria through the National Universities Commission (NUC), the approval for the establishment of Elizade University was granted by the Federal Government of Nigeria on February 22, 2012. The approval was conveyed vide the Provisional License to operate as a Private University No. 46 dated February 28, 2012 issued by the National Universities Commission.

Following the approval of the Federal Government, the University started academic activities during the 2012/2013 academic session. The pioneer students of the university resumed on January 6, 2013. The Engineering Faculty at the Elizade University commenced in September, 2013 during the 2013/2014 academic session.
The Bachelor of Engineering programme in Computer Engineering took-off in the 2013/2014 academic session. As one of the pioneer departments in the Faculty of Engineering, the Department commenced academic activities at the beginning of 2013/2014 academic session.

Elizade University aims to attract the best and the brightest students in Nigeria and beyond. The main aim is to provide them with practical-oriented scientific, technological and arts education which shall make them self-reliant while preparing them for future leadership and success in their chosen careers in the highly competitive new knowledge society.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOs)

The Computer Engineering Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) describe the expectations of our graduates after a few years of work experience by contributing to the society through modern technologies and practices. The following are the objectives:

1. To produce graduates who possess knowledge of computer engineering principles and techniques, enabling them to solve complex problems and contribute to technological advancements.
2. To create experts who are equipped with the skills necessary to identify opportunities, innovate, and transform ideas into successful ventures in the computer engineering industry.
3. To evolve researchers that cultivate cultures of research and innovation, and encourage to engage in cutting-edge research and development of novel solutions to address the evolving challenges of the modern world.
4. To have engineers who can work effectively in multidisciplinary teams, communicate ideas clearly, and uphold the highest professional and ethical standards.
5. To produce graduates with practical experiences,  mentorship, and opportunities for professional growth, enabling them to make a significant impact on society and shape a better future through the power of computer engineering..

Students obtaining the honours degree in Computer Engineering will receive a thorough background in various aspects of the field including Electrical Circuit Theory, Electrical Machines, Analogue Systems, Computer Architecture and Organization, Numerical Computation, Software Design Techniques, System Analysis and Design, Digital Systems Design, Embedded System, Intelligent Systems Design, Data Communications and Networks among many other courses.

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES (POs)

According to the Washington Accord Graduate Attributes adopted by the Washington Accord signatories, an engineer who is trained based on these attributes listed, can design solutions for complex problems based on the development of engineering activities that involve some or all the programme learning outcomes detailed below. These POs are the measurable statements that describe knowledge or skills that our students would achieve upon completion of their 5 Years Academic Program. All 12 POs defined in the COREN manual are encompassed in the POs of the Department.

PO1 - Engineering Knowledge

Competent Computer Engineering graduates emerge by designing the program to inculcate into students’ application of knowledge of mathematics, engineering fundamentals, and engineering principles to solve complex engineering problems.

PO2 - Problem Analysis

Upon completion of the program, graduates of Computer Engineering are produced by impacted on the students the ability to identify, formulate, conduct research literature, and analyse complex software engineering problems in order to accomplish proven conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural and engineering sciences and principles.

PO3 - Design/Development of Solutions

In order to produce certified graduate engineers, students are equipped with methodology of designing solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

PO4 – Investigation

By the end of 5-year computer engineering program, there would be evidences that students have been groomed to conduct investigation of complex engineering problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.

PO5 - Modern Tool Usage

Graduate of computer engineering after 5-year training would have acquired the skills to create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to solve complex engineering problems, with an understanding of the limitations.

PO6 - The Engineer and Society

Engineering graduates are expected to know how to apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solutions to complex engineering problems.

PO7 - Environment and Sustainability

Upon graduation, students would have understood how to evaluate sustainability and impact of professional engineering work in the solutions of complex engineering problems in societal and environmental contexts.

PO8 - Ethics

Engineering students after 5-year program are expected to know how to apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.

PO9 - Individual and Teamwork

One of the objectives of 5-year computer engineering program is to produce graduate that can function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.

PO10 - Communication

A graduate of computer engineering would have the ability to communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

PO11 - Project Management

The computer engineering program is designed to produce graduate that demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.

PO12 - Life Long Learning

Computer engineering students upon graduation would recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change
