Computer has revolutionized not only the fields of data processing and storage, but also the processes of communication, manufacturing and transportation, thereby improving our quality of life. PC, Laptop, Internet and Teleconference have become household commodities. Department of Computer Engineering was established in the college in 1989 and B.E. Degree course in Computer Engineering was started with an intake of 20. Now it has been increased to 90. In last decade, Computer Engineering department has developed state-of-the-art laboratories in the various fields of computer engineering - Processor Development & Testing Lab, Signal Processing Lab, LIC lab, Software Engineering Lab, Network Lab, Web Designing Lab, Multimedia Lab, Computer Architecture Lab, Software Lab, Computation Lab, Al Lab, Data Base Management and Data Mining Lab. These labs are equipped with latest configuration PCs and are completely networked. The curriculum in computer engineering lays greater emphasis on design principles and development of system software for operating systems, Database management systems, data mining, computer graphics and networks, in addition to design & development of software packages and CASE tools which are the need of the day. The course lays greater emphasis on computer engineering, communication engineering and electronic science which are of utmost importance in today's world. Miniaturization in computer technology, audio-video and image processing, storage and retrieval, data processing, communication and nano technology etc are going to affect the computer knowledge in the coming decades. Industrial Training is an integral part of the curriculum.

In 1996, the department started M.E. degree level program in Computer Technology and Applications. The curriculum contains latest area of computer technologies such as robotics, distributed Computing, Multimedia, Methodologies of Software Engineering, Networking, and Artificial intelligence among other subjects. The students are doing research work and publishing numerous papers in National / International conference and journals in the latest areas such as Search Engine, Semantic Web, Ontology, Information System security, Requirements Engineering, Security engineering, Data Mining, Mobile Technologies, IP Verification etc.

The Department has also started B.Tech. (Software Engg.) & M.Tech. (Software Engineering) from 2009 with an intake of 60 & 18 respectively. The Curriculum also lays emphasis on nurturing the talent of students for top industries across the globe, for pursuing higher studies and R & D work .... in national and international universities. There have been numerous publications by the department in international/national journals/ conferences highlighting the emphasis on research and development. Several technical books have been authored by the faculty members of the department.

The department has a very active student chapter of Computer Society of India (CSI) and contributes significantly in professional activities undertaken by IEEE and IET student chapters of DTU. In order to channelize the tremendous potential of the students, CSI-DTU student branch organises a technical festival named "PHEONIX" which comprises of several technical events like LAN Gaming, Business Plan, Animation, Web Designing, Alogrithm design etc.

Ph.D. Programs

The Department of Computer Engineering has focused attention on quality research and industrial design and development. A large number of problems have been taken up in close collaboration with industries. Excellent facilities are available to conduct research for the award of PhD. degree of University of Delhi in the areas of Microprocessor Application, Computer Communication and Networking, Optimization Program, ANN, Speech Recognition, Image Processing, Microchips, Nano-technology, Requirements Engineering etc. The College also offers certain number of scholarships to full time Ph.D. students. Moreover, AICTE, UGC, CSIR, DST and other scholarship awardees can also take up Ph.D. Program.
