Overview

In the Computer Engineering general track at German Jordanian University (GJU) – Amman, students will learn about several important computer engineering concentrations such as computer architecture, computer networks, embedded systems, and computer software. The computer architecture concentration has to do with the knowledge involved in building computer systems. Throughout this concentration students will learn the most basic building blocks of computers and how to bring them together to build a full system. They will learn how processors work and what are the different approaches to making them perform better; In the computer networks concentration, students will learn how computers communicate with each other over networks.

They will understand the different levels of networking and how the internet works. They will also get exposed to the concentration of computer security (including cybersecurity) and learn different concepts that make computer safe from hackers. The embedded systems concentration is concerned with small dedicated computers that are meant to do specific functions. This includes almost any computing device that is not a laptop or a PC. Mobile phones, electronic washing machines, car electronics, and other smart devices fall under the category of embedded systems. The computer software concentration focuses on software which is an essential part of all computing systems.

Through the computer engineering curriculum you will be exposed to a variety of software topics that will hone your programming skills. Topics include: regular programming topics, algorithm development, operating system concepts, database systems, and parallel programming. Accordingly, this track will allow students to interact with all these key concentrations. Moreover, leading faculty members in the CE department as well as the German partner universities will guide students through the latest breakthroughs in research, cutting-edge technologies, and best practices used for building effective computer hardware and software.
