In Pakistan, the field of Computer Engineering has been rapidly growing in recent years. It not only offers aspiring Pakistani students an opportunity to excel in the field of software designing but it also teaches them the concepts of programming and digital product compilation. In this post I have tried to compile together a vast list of US universities offering graduate and post graduate programs in Computer Engineering.
This comprehensive list of top 25 Computer Engineering universities in USA will help you identify only the best ones based on their reputation, fee structure, location and value of education offered. Make sure that you explore all of the available options before finalizing the university or college of your choice. If you are someone with really good credentials then I will highly encourage them to apply to several of the top 10 of these programs.

Pakistani students pursuing graduate, post graduate or post doctoral programs in Computer Engineering will eventually become software programmers, software engineers or product architects. The course primarily covers computer science merged with electrical engineering and gives them a chance to learn the best of hardware and software.
The top graduate schools have a very tough selection criteria. For students based in Pakistan who aspire to study computer engineering, a strong GRE score is mandatory besides recommendation letters and work experience, if any. Going for the university with most enrollments increases your chance of acceptance. Choose wisely based on the subject of your choice and become a successful computer engineer supported by a solid education program.
