Computer Engineering WAEC And JAMB Subject Combination – Today’s post is for those aspiring to apply for admission to study Computer Engineering at the University.
Are you the one or among those who are seeking admission, but don’t know the right WAEC and JAMB subject combination for their course? This post will help to find the right subject combination for your course, as you keep on reading.
Apart from giving you the right WAEC and JAMB subject combination for studying Computer Engineering at the University, there is other important information regarding your admission, that will be discussed.
Before I move into the core of the discussion, let me briefly discuss Computer Engineering.
What does subject combination mean?
It is the process of choosing the right subject that is suitable for the study of a particular course in the University.
Sometimes, students make the mistake of choosing the wrong subjects for their courses, which may eventually lead to their disqualification, if the University does not accept such a combination for a particular course.
About Computer Engineering As A Course
Computer Engineering is a science course that is offered at the University.
Computer Engineering is a course of study in the University that fuses the fields of electrical engineering and computer science.
The work of computer engineers is to design, build, and maintain hardware in modern computers.
In this course, Computer Engineering students learn how to develop, prototype, and test microchips, circuits, processors, and conductors.
In this course, you will learn about lots of things while studying to prepare yourself for the job, some of the areas of specialization of the course include:
- Introduction to electronics
- Circuit analysis
- Signal processing
- Engineering computing
- Embedded systems
- Computer networks
- Computer vision
- Autonomous robotics
- Programming principles
- Computer architecture
What Is Computer Engineering?
Computer engineering, is an aspect or branch that uses computer science and electrical engineering, principles to create firmware and software, which can be used in the following ways:
- Consumer electronics,
- Medical devices,
- Communication systems,
- Aircraft, self-driving cars.
It uses several disciplines to design and develop software and hardware systems.
Computer Engineering WAEC And JAMB Subject Combination
All the candidates for every course have their different subject combinations for WAEC and JAMB, however, all the candidates who are seeking admission into the University to study Computer Engineering, also have their own, and that is what I want to list for you below.
I will look at the subject’s combination differently, in the order below:
- WAEC subjects combination
- And JAMB subject combination.
WAEC Subject Combination for Computer Engineering
What is the meaning of the WAEC subject combination? It means the list of those subjects that a candidate of WASSCE should select and register, which he/she will sit for during the WAEC examination.
WAEC subjects are usually nine in number, irrespective of the area of specialization or course that the candidate wants to study in the university, here is the list for those who are to study computer engineering in the school:
- Mathematics
- English Language
- Civic Education
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Further Mathematics
- Economics
- Marketing
