The Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Computer Engineering at Iscte trains future engineers in the core areas of computer engineering, enabling them to model and develop information systems, computer networks, applications and digital tools (including mobile and internet solutions), expanding their potential through artificial intelligence and maintaining a focus on users and the needs of organisations.

The teaching in the BSc in Computer Engineering at Iscte is structured to ensure that knowledge is acquired in a solid and progressive manner, fostering the ability to generalize and apply concepts to new problems. The theoretical and practical components of computing are integrated harmoniously and synergistically, ensuring a coherent and well-contextualized learning experience. This path encompasses the understanding of mathematical foundations, computational technologies, algorithms, team-based implementation challenges, as well as the processes involved in installing and maintaining software and computer systems.

The learning objectives and methods of the BSc in Computer Engineering at Iscte, combined with motivated and curious students, shape engineers capable of designing innovative, competitive, creative, relevant, ethically responsible, and human-centred technological solutions, preparing them to thrive in a constantly evolving market.

After completing the BSc in Computer Engineering at Iscte, students will have access to a wide range of professional opportunities and will benefit from a high employability rate, being able to work as engineers or consultants across all areas of computing, in both national and international organizations. In parallel, those wishing to continue their studies may enrol in a second-cycle program, such as the Master of Science (MSc) in Computer Engineering at Iscte, distinguished with the EUR-ACE Quality Label awarded by the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).

Director(s) message

Pedro Santana
Computer Engineering is today present in virtually everything around us: from the systems that sustain our digital lives to the mobile applications and video games we use daily; from the information systems that support organizational management to the intelligent systems that help diagnose diseases and improve quality of life; from autonomous driving technologies to those that enable interplanetary exploration. This ubiquitous presence makes it more essential than ever to train professionals with solid knowledge and technical rigor in Computer Engineering.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has profoundly transformed the way we solve problems, adding new layers of sophistication and wonder to the world of Computer Engineering. AI has not only changed the way we design solutions but also brought to the centre of society a field of enormous complexity, which exists, and will continue to evolve, thanks to Computer Engineers who design, develop, and maintain the systems that make AI possible.
Above all, being a Computer Engineer means being a professional capable of solving problems in a methodical, rigorous, verifiable, and robust manner, far beyond the simplistic notion that the profession is only about programming or using Artificial Intelligence. What is most fascinating is that this problem solving involves designing and creating digital artefacts in a naturally creative and motivating process. In practice, Computer Engineers have the opportunity to devise solutions, deciphering complex puzzles as part of their profession, constantly stimulated to advance their problem-solving skills and actively participate in the digital revolution, helping to shape the very fabric of the modern world.
