Exercises might involve the development and comparison of various drawing algorithms or colour map animation. Exercises could be performed in either a high level language like c or a low level language like assembler.

Further exercises should familiarize the students with a high level graphics language which would then be used in the later laboratory periods in the development of a graphics project. This group project would be on an engineering topic preferably with both software and hardware aspects. The topic could be either initiated by the students or selected from a list provided by the instructor. An oral presentation with a demonstration should be part of the laboratory project report.

Examination and Marking Schemes

2008-09-09T09:44:00.000-07:00

The students' achievement in each subject is evaluate by internal assessment during the
course followed by a final examination at the end of each half yearly part. A weightage of
20% for the internal assessment and that of 80% for the half yearly examination are allocated
for the theoretical component of a subject. The half yearly examination of all theory
component are conducted through written tests. In case of practical components, the method
of continuous assessment is adopted; in some cases, half yearly examinations are also
conducted.

The students must obtain 40% in the internal assessment and 40% in the half yearly
examination of each subject to pass in the subject. Student who have not obtained the
prescribed pass marks in the internal assessment of a subject will not be allowed to sit in the
half yearly examination of continue his/her studies in the third year. Similarly, a student must
pass all the papers of the second year to continue his/her studies in the fourth year.
Students who have passed all the components of all subjects in all of the ten parts are
considered to have successfully completed the course. The overall achievement of each
student is measured by a final aggregate percentage which is obtained by providing a
weightage to each of half yearly aggregate percentages scored by the student as prescribed
below.

First & Second Years : 20% each
Third and Fourth : 30% each

Depending upon the final aggregate percentage scored, a division is award as follows:
80% and above : Distinction
65% and above : First Division
50% and above : Second Division
40% and above : Pass

Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering

2008-09-09T08:52:00.000-07:00

The Institute of Engineering, Pulchowk Campus, is offering this course with the objective of
producing high level technical manpower capable of undertaking works in the Computer
Engineering field. The details of the course are as follows.

1. Title of the Course:
Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering.

2. Objective of the Course:
To train students in technical and analytical skills required to enable them to function
and practice as professional Computer engineer on all aspects of Computer
Engineering works.

3. Duration of the Course:
The total duration of the course is 4 years. Each year consists of two parts. A and B,
each part having a duration of 90 working days (about 15 weeks).

4. Entry Requirements:
The minimum requirements for admission to the courses are:
(a) The candidate must have passed Intermediate of Science (Physical Group)
examination of the Tribhuvan University or equivalent course recognized by
the Tribhuvan University; and have scored at least 50% of the total marks in
aggregate;
or
The candidate must have passed Diploma in Engineering of the Institute of
Engineering Tribhuvan University or equivalent course with Physics, Chemistry,
Mathematics and English as separate compulsory subjects, and have scored at least
50% of the total marks in aggregate:
and
(b) The candidate must pass the entrance admission tests conducted by the
Campus and as prescribed by the Institute of Engineering.

5. Selection:
Students fulfilling the minimum eligible requirements will be selected for admission
on the basis of merit.

6. Course Structure:
6.1 Contents:
The teaching of the course is divided into 8 parts (half yearly). The first two parts are
of prerequisite nature.

6.2 Subject Codes:
Each subjects is coded with a unique member preceded and followed by certain
letters. The code for all subjects offered in engineering disciplines begin with two
letters 'EG', followed by three digit numbers denoting the subject offered in the
particular half yearly part. The first digit denotes the year i.e. 4,5,6 and 7 for first,
second, third and fourth year respectively of Bachelor's level course. The second digit
from 0 to 4 is used for the first part of the year and 5 to 9 for the second part of the
year. The third digit is used to identify the subject stream. The last letters denote the
department which offers the subject (e.g. SH - Science and Humanities, CE - Civil
Engineering, EE - Electrical Engineering, EX - Electronics Engineering, ME -
Mechanical Engineering, CT - Computer Engineering and AR - Architecture).
Example: EG 647 EE is the code for subject "Power System Analysis" which is
offered in the engineering discipline in the third year part A of the Bachelor course
and is conducted by the Electrical Engineering Department.

6.3 Instruction Methods:
The method of teaching is lecture augmented by tutorials and practical works.
Tutorials are used to enlarge and develop the topic and concepts stated in the lecture.
Practical classes in the form of laboratory works and drawing office practice are used
to verify the concepts and to develop necessary technical and analytical skills.
