Program Overview

The Computer and Communication Engineering (CCE) Program, established in 2005, was developed to address the growing demand for skilled professionals in computing, communication, and related technological fields across industrial, governmental, and service sectors. It also serves the community by providing students from various cities and regions within Dhofar University access to high-quality engineering education.

The Bachelor of Science in Computer and Communication Engineering offers a strong foundation in the design, analysis, and application of computer and communication systems. The curriculum covers essential areas such as computer networks, wireless and mobile communications, signal processing, embedded systems, cybersecurity, and software systems, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills through laboratories, projects, and industry-oriented training.

The program emphasizes professional practice and real-world applications. Students gain hands-on experience through internships in IT companies, telecommunications firms, and engineering organizations, including an eight-week field training that strengthens their professional competencies and bridges academic learning with practical implementation.

Aligned with current industry and societal needs, the program supports sectors such as telecommunications, information technology, automation, and smart systems. It prepares graduates for careers in network engineering, communication systems, cybersecurity, embedded and IoT systems, and software development, as well as opportunities for research and higher studies.

Committed to quality assurance and continuous improvement, the program regularly reviews its curriculum, assessment strategies, and stakeholder feedback to ensure alignment with professional standards and accreditation requirements.

Program Mission

To equip graduates with comprehensive professional engineering knowledge, effective problem-solving skills in electrical and electronics engineering, and opportunities for research and practical experience that benefit the community.

Admission Requirements

For admission to the program, a student must have:

  • A General Education Diploma (or its equivalent), including Pure Mathematics and at least two of the following subjects: Physics, Chemistry, or Biology, and
  • Passed the Foundation Program (FP) at Dhofar University (DU) or any other Higher Education Institution (HEI) recognized by the Ministry of Education.
Graduation Requirements

To graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer and Communications Engineering, students must complete the required credit hours for the program and achieve a minimum cumulative average of 65%.

In addition, students are required to complete a period of practical training through an eight-week internship. This requirement ensures that students gain relevant hands-on experience in industrial settings.

Students must also successfully complete a final-year project, which integrates the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program and demonstrates their ability to solve engineering problems independently.
