Objectives
LEARNING OUTCOMES: R1. Knowledge and understanding: To acquire basic knowledge and understanding of the scientific and technological foundations of Computer Engineering, as well as specific knowledge of computer science, computer engineering and information systems. R2 Engineering Analysis: Being able to identify Computer Engineering problems, recognize their specifications, establish different resolution methods and select the most appropriate one for their solution, taking into account the applicable social, human health, environmental, and commercial limitations, in each case. R3 Engineering Design: To be able of carrying out engineering designs, according to their level of knowledge and understanding, that meet the required specifications, collaborating with other engineers and graduates. Design encompasses devices, processes, methods, objects, and specifications that are broader than strictly technical, including social awareness, health and safety, and environmental and business-related considerations. R4 Research and Innovation: To be able of using appropriate methods to carry out research and carry out innovative contributions in the field of Computer Engineering. R5 Engineering Applications: Graduates will be able of applying their knowledge and understanding to solve problems, direct research and design devices or processes in the field of Computer Engineering, according to criteria of cost, quality, safety, efficiency, respect for the environment, and ethical implications. These skills include the knowledge, use, and limitations of computer systems, process engineering, computer architectures, computational models, equipment, practical work, technical literature, and information sources.
