Master of Engineering Degree This is a one-year full-time, or a two-year part-time master’s level program. It emphasizes both the theoretical and practical aspects of computer networks. The program is geared towards both networking professionals that are already in the field who wish to increase the depth and breadth of their knowledge, and those less familiar with the area who wish to enter the high-demand field of computer networks. This program starts with compulsory courses covering the networking fundamentals with primary emphasis on network routing, switching, LAN and WAN technologies. Once the fundamentals are mastered, the students can specialize in one or more of the following areas by choosing elective courses e.g. Network Security, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and Multimedia, Data Center networks, Cloud Computing and Wireless networks. The program has been designed to enable all students to graduate with a common set of fundamental and practical Computer Networks skills. Depending on the qualification demand and the job market at the time, students may be able to step into computer network related employment upon graduation. The program also provides the basis for graduates to take on advanced responsibilities, enabling them to capitalize on their individual backgrounds, and advance in Computer Network careers in areas related to their particular strength and interests. Students in the MEng. program learn the practical aspects of Computer Networks in the laboratory which houses numerous switches, routers, and equipment on network security, wireless network, voice over IP and data center. Our MEng. students will have access to these networking equipment which will allow them to design, simulate and carry out experiments to test and verify network configurations and performance.
