The undergraduate program in Computer Engineering is designed so that students have a balanced background in computer hardware, software, and computer applications, and that they can adapt themselves to the rapidly changing technologies in their professional carreers. Emphasis is on the engineering aspects of the field such as the analysis and design of both hardware and software systems.

The course requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering total a minimum of 145 credit hours of formal course work. The first five semesters of the program are common to all students. Starting in the sixth semester, students take elective courses in order to specialize in the subject according to their interests. During their study students must complete an industrial training of a minimum of 60 work days.

Educational goals and objectives

1.Pursue  the practice of computer engineering in various industrial sectors, not only at the national but also at the international level. 
2.Pursue advanced degrees and engage in research activities in world-class institutions.
3.Pursue a life-long career of personal and professional growth in the rapidly changing computing world with ethical consciousness and global awareness.
4.Be able to assume innovative, executive, leadership, and entrepreneurial roles in their careers.

Admission and special requirements

In Turkey, student placement to universities and departments is carried out centrally, through exams administered by the ÖSYM. A two-phase standard centralized exam, called YKS is given once a year. The first phase exam is called TYT and the second phase exam is called AYT.  During the last five years, Boğaziçi University Computer Engineering Department has admitted students who ranked in the top ~500.

Acknowledgement of previous learning

If a student  has already mastered the topics of any of the following courses
•CMPE 150: Introduction to Computing
•MATH 101:  Calculus I
•PHYS 121: Introduction to Mechanics and Thermodynamics
•CHEM 105: General Chemistry 
he/she can take waiver examination(s) to be exempt from taking that course(s). Upon receiving a successful grade in an exemption examination, the student earns the associated credits without having to take the associated course. 

Graduation requirements

Students are awarded a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree when they satisfy all graduation requirements.  Each student has to satisfy (i) the course work and (ii) the internship requirement in order to graduate. The courses must be taken in an order that satisfies all prerequisites.  Also, elective courses must be taken from specified pools of courses. Boğaziçi University's OBIKAS online registration system offers a tool (Curriculum Planner) for making sure that students register inappropriate courses as planned.  Curriculum Planner on OBIKAS can be used to record the courses taken in appropriate slots in the curriculum. In order to assure that students follow the correct courses, advisors carefully check the courses the student wants to take at the beginning of each semester and approve them if appropriate. When the student is ready to graduate, the academic advisor of the student examines all the courses taken by the student and makes sure that all the required courses and eligible elective courses have been taken. The GPA requirements are also checked. A list of students satisfying the internship requirements are published by the internship advisor. After performing all the necessary checks, a table consisting of information of all graduating students is prepared and sent to the School of Engineering Executive Board, which performs further checks to assure their eligibility for graduation. The list of students approved by this board is sent to the Registrar’s Office as official graduates.
