Shaping the future of technology
Computer engineering is a discipline that embodies the science and technology of design, construction, implementation, and maintenance of software and hardware components of modern computing systems, computer-controlled equipment, and networks of intelligent devices. Computer engineering is solidly grounded in the theories and principles of computing, mathematics, and science. It applies these theories and principles to solve technical problems through the design of computing hardware, software, networks, and processes.
As modern issues arise, computer engineers are more involved in the design of computer-based systems to address specific application needs. Computer engineers work in most industries, including the computer, automobile, aerospace, telecommunications, power production, manufacturing, defense, and electronics. They design high-tech devices ranging from tiny microelectronic integrated-circuit chips, to powerful systems that utilize those chips, alongside efficient telecommunication systems that interconnect those systems. Computer engineers also work on distributed computing environments, local and wide area networks, wireless networks, internets, intranets and embedded computer systems such as in aircraft, spacecraft, and automobile control systems where they perform various functions. A wide array of complex technological systems, such as power generation and distribution systems and modern processing and manufacturing plants, rely on computer systems developed and designed by computer engineers.
