School of Engineering


This school offers 2 courses: computer engineering and electrical engineering. Most people are often confused about the difference between Computer engineering and Computer science. Computer engineering and computer science are two closely related but distinct fields of study. Overall, while there is some overlap between the two fields, computer engineering and computer science are distinct disciplines that require different skill sets and knowledge bases. The key difference between computer engineering and computer science is that computer engineering focuses more on the hardware aspects of computer systems, while computer science focuses more on software and theoretical concepts.


Computer engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on the design, development, and maintenance of computer hardware and software systems. Computer engineers work on the physical components of computer systems, such as microprocessors, circuit boards, and memory devices, as well as the software that controls them. They also work on the integration of hardware and software systems to create complex computer systems. Computer engineering involves knowledge of electrical engineering and requires an understanding of electronic circuits, computer architecture, and the design of microprocessors.

We offer you 5 reasons you should study computer engineering with us: Hands-on training: We typically emphasize hands-on training and practical experience. This is particularly important for computer engineering, where students need to be able to work with hardware and software to solve real-world problems.

Industry relevance: Babanawa Polytechnic has strong ties to local industries within Nigeria, which can provide students with valuable exposure and opportunities for internships, networking, and job placement. This can be particularly useful in computer engineering, which is a rapidly evolving field that requires constant adaptation to new technologies and trends.

Focus on applied skills: We focus on applied skills rather than theoretical knowledge, which can be beneficial for students who need to be able to apply their knowledge to practical problems

Career prospects: Computer engineering is a growing field with a strong demand for skilled professionals. Graduating from Babanawa polytechnic with a computer engineering degree can help students stand out in the job market and increase their career prospects. Flexibility: We also offer flexible schedules and options for part-time or online learning, which can be particularly useful for students who need to balance work or other commitments with their studies
