The program is designed to produce engineers that are trained to develop the systems and technology which drive the information age, where the use of computers, personal communication devices, Internet, world-wide-web, and multimedia information technologies has become commonplace. The program ranges from high-level design of computers and systems to the practical implementation of microchips that process information.

The career prospects of Computer Engineers are excellent. Industry, finance, commerce and government all rely heavily on computers and increasingly need the services of Computer Engineers to design, support and develop new computer applications. Major banks in Hong Kong, for example, have very sophisticated computer and communication networks that rely on teams of Computer Engineers for their maintenance and development.
