Engineering with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence
Students who wish to spend more time exploring various engineering disciplines before embarking on a major program can apply to "Engineering with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence". However, entrance to the BEng in Computer Engineering program through major selection is subject to competition due to a tight quota. Students are also required to drop the Extended Major in AI if they join the BEng in Computer Engineering program.
Overview

Computer Engineering focuses on the analysis, design, implementation, and utilization of computer systems. The BEng in Computer Engineering program (CPEG) is jointly run by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), and the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE). The program aims to provide students an in-depth understanding of both hardware and software, and their cross-interaction in the design of cutting-edge electronic and computer systems. The curriculum covers all architectural and engineering aspects of computer-based systems, and students can deepen their knowledge by taking elective courses in various technical areas of specialization. Our students can take full advantage of the state-of-the-art facilities of both departments. CPEG is a 2-in-1 integrated program!

Career Prospects

The job opportunities for our graduates span both software and hardware as well as areas involving applications of information and communication technology. Some examples of career options include system analyst, network analyst, application developer, game designer, cloud engineer, full-stack engineer, IC design engineer, hardware engineer, data analyst, IT consultant etc., in engineering businesses and the management and banking sectors. Employers of our graduates include many world-class local and overseas companies such as Google, Facebook, Lenovo, IBM, PCCW, SmarTone, HKT, Thomson Reuters, Cathay Pacific, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, UBS, JP Morgan Chase, HSBC, and MTR.

An intersection of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, CPEG gave me the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds. HKUST has provided a friendly and encouraging environment for me to explore different sides of these two fields. Outside of academic life, both departments strive to build communities among undergraduate students. A highlight was the COMP & CPEG mentor-mentee scheme, which allows mentors to share their experiences throughout their university lives with mentees, providing them with support and guidance. I got to connect with other students in CPEG, meeting people with similar interests and goals, while expanding my social circle.
