Teaching Computer Engineering started at FUTA in 2015/2016 academic session among many other things to:
- Develop a sound practise in Computer Engineering and Technology training
- Graduate students who will be able to unleash practical application of Computer Engineering and Technology to the advancement of the industrial and manufacturing process, hence making life better.
To this end the FUTA Department of Computer Engineering acquired Computer systems, auxiliary equipment and build necessary laboratories for the teaching of it's prospective computer engineers and to intensify series of it's research work on embedded systems, software engineering, computer communication, networking and others.
