History

The Computer Engineering courses started in 1978 under the Department of Electrical Engineering. One year later, KMU opened the School of Electronics and Computer Science. In 1982 we celebrated the first-batch of graduates from our Electronics and Computer School.
During the first 6 years of the department’s existence, we could only teach computer science as a minor subject, but as the subject’s popularity increased hugely in the country, the teaching was soon extended to Master programs since 1984. In 1991 we opened our door for Computer Science Ph.D. programs.
