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 Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE), and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). 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 of 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.

The CPEG Program provides a solid foundation in hardware and software through a balanced mix of classes and the flexibility to explore different technology fields such as Human-Computer Interaction, AI, Cybersecurity, and more. CPEG offered various hands-on experiences and research opportunities, allowing students to apply classroom knowledge in real-world scenarios. My particular highlight was their co-op program, which offered invaluable real-world experience and networking opportunities. I am grateful for the mentorship and long-term work opportunity I received, which has prepared me for a successful career in this rapidly evolving field. CPEG is one of the best majors offered at HKUST!
