What studies to become a computer engineer in Morocco?

Computer engineering has become one of the most requested specialties, both for the job market and for students. Computer engineering professions are considered today as the professions of the future. Studies show that among the 10 most popular job titles currently, four are directly related to computer engineering. The latter constitute 50% of the total vacancies in these top 10 trades.

It is evident that this field of study has a lot of potential and value. This is why, through this article, we have chosen to deal with the different methods of access to computer engineering, the specialization courses, as well as the criteria that will allow you to differentiate yourself if you wish to become an IT engineer. in Morocco.

Join a post-baccalaureate engineering school 

Computer science vs engineering

To become a computer engineer in Morocco, you must first start by choosing to join a private or public post-baccalaureate engineering school.

 Private engineering schools accessible after the baccalaureate generally offer 5-year training courses including two years of integrated preparatory classes and 3 years of specialization. However, few are the public engineering schools accessible directly after the bac and which offer training with integrated preparatory classes.

In addition, private engineering schools offer more flexibility to students, particularly in terms of the choice of the course, or the proximity of the students, by offering classes on a human scale, adapted to the number of students and the courses. requested by students, unlike public engineering schools where the number of places is fixed in advance. Students are thus admitted to the course of their choice in order of meritocracy, which maximizes the risk of not being able to access the desired training if the student is not well classified, and he will thus be forced to reorient his career. to another domain.

Join a post-preparatory engineering school

The second option you have is to join a post-preparatory engineering school. This consists of going through two years of preparatory classes before being able to take the common national competitive examination (CNC), the outcome of which can be critical for your choice of school and area of ​​specialization.

The preparatory cycle consists of training concentrated in mathematics, physics, languages ​​and many other subjects, and in no way guarantees a choice of specialty or even the integration of an engineering school. Indeed, in order to integrate the school of his choice and pursue the desired training in computer engineering, the student must have a very good average in the common national competition. It is its ranking in the competition, in addition to the capacity of the different establishments, which will determine the choice definitively.

The different fields of computer engineering

Being itself a branch of engineering, computer engineering has several sectors and fields of specialization, all of which lead to specialized professions and highly coveted by the job market.

There are some more traditional sectors such as network engineering or industrial IT and very recent ones, which have just appeared with the rise of new technologies, such as Big Data engineering, web development or mobile, Engineering in Cloud Computing or engineering in artificial intelligence.

These specialties have great growth potential and provide access to several career opportunities. They lead to professions such as Big Data engineer, Business intelligence project manager, advanced developer engineer, cloud and virtualization engineer, artificial intelligence engineer, cloud computing architect… and many other professional perspectives.

Stand out as an IT engineer

To become a computer engineer in Morocco who stands out in the job market, you have to take several aspects into consideration. The school where you will continue your training, the quality of the programs taught at this school, its network of partners, its recognition by the business world, its experience ... all are criteria that play a crucial role in differentiation between the winning engineers.

In order to be able to make the right choice of your school, you must focus on all the aspects mentioned above. A better computer engineering school offers quality training balanced between teaching technical skills relating to the profession / field, and essential human and managerial skills to forge a future winner with a strong personality, assertive, good communicator and capable, later on, to the exercise of his function of manager within the company.

In conclusion, there are different types of engineering schools and different ways to integrate them. However, if you want to specialize in computer engineering, a field that is becoming very coveted today, it would be better to opt from the start for a post-baccalaureate school specializing in computer engineering, which will allow you to benefit from all his expertise and possible opportunities to become a distinguished computer engineer who really stands out in the market.
