Computer and Communications Engineering
(CCE)
CCE Mission Statement
The mission of the CCE program is to
impart a basic understanding of electrical and computer
engineering built on a foundation of mathematics,
physical sciences, and technology; to expose students to
practical and major design experiences; and to provide
students with a global perspective and an awareness of
their leadership role in regional development. This
preparation is augmented by the liberal arts education
offered to all undergraduates at the American University
of Beirut.
The CCE program
prepares its graduates for careers and higher studies in
information and communication technologies.
CCE Program Educational
Objectives
Graduates of the CCE program:
-
Possess skills and knowledge that qualify them for professional practice in electrical and computer engineering and for admission to reputable graduate programs.
-
Are capable of applying fundamental knowledge, appropriate mathematical principles and computing tools, critical thinking, and best practices in electrical and computer engineering analysis and design.
-
Are provided with an educational foundation that fosters creativity, team work, leadership, and communication skills, and prepares them for life-long learning along diverse career paths.
-
Have an appreciation of technical, social, economic, environmental, ethical, and global aspects of engineering practice.
By the time of graduation, CCE students possess:
(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
(d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
(g) an ability to communicate effectively
(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues
(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
(l) a knowledge of probability and statistics
(m) a knowledge of differential equations, linear algebra, complex variables, and discrete mathematics
(n) a knowledge of mathematics, basic sciences, computer
sciences, and engineering sciences necessary to analyze
and design complex electrical and electronic devices,
software, and systems containing hardware and software
components
(o) a knowledge of basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences necessary to analyze and design communication systems

The mission of the ECE program is to
impart a basic understanding of electrical and computer
engineering built on a foundation of mathematics,
physical sciences, and technology; to expose students to
practical and major design experiences; and to provide
students with a global perspective and an awareness of
their leadership role in regional development. This
preparation is augmented by the liberal arts education
offered to all undergraduates at the American University
of Beirut.
The ECE program provides the students with options to explore, and specialize in, one or more areas of electrical and computer engineering.
