Diploma in Computer Engineering curriculum is designed to produce middle level skilled technician updated with latest skills of computer and information technology with a view to cope with the emerging technological change. Many people in the developed, developing and under developed countries have been given emphasis for the broader application of computer. Computer Engineering has been contributing the world for the overall development and creating job or employment opportunities in both public and private sectors.

This curriculum is designed to foster knowledge and skills to the technician required by the computer engineering and information technology related industries and organizations in Nepal. The Diploma in Computer Engineering program extends over three years. Each year is divided into two semesters. There are six semesters in total within the period of three years.

The first year courses includes the basic science subjects like physics, chemistry, and mathematics applicable in the field of computer Engineering. It also includes language subjects like Nepali and English applicable for the communication in the field of computer engineering and information technology. The second year courses focuses on the basic disciplinary subjects of computer engineering. Similarly, third year courses comprises of the disciplinary subjects and the application of learned skills and knowledge by making the provision of major and minor projects as well as elective subjects in the specific areas of computer engineering.

The course structure and the subject-wise contents that follow reflect the details of this curriculum. In short, this curriculum guides its implementer to produce competent and highly employable middle level technical human resources in the field of computer engineering.

The contents of each subjects prescribed in the curriculum are incorporated in the light of "must to know and must to do" principle. The contents of the curriculum are minutely describes in micro level.
