Computer engineering (also sometimes given the title
'Electronic and Computer Engineering') is a discipline
that combines elements of both electrical engineering
and computer science
[1]. Computer engineers are electrical engineers
that have additional training in the areas of software
design and hardware-software integration. In turn,
they focus less on power electronics and physics.
Computer engineers are involved on all aspects of
computing, from the design of individual microprocessors,
personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit
design, as well as the integration of computer systems
into other kinds of systems (a motor vehicle, for
example, has a number of subsystems that are computer
and digitally oriented)
[2]. Common computer engineering tasks include writing
embedded software for real-time microcontrollers,
designing VLSI chips, working with analog sensors,
designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing
operating systems. Computer engineers are also well-suited
for research in the field of robotics, which relies
on using computers together with other electrical
systems. |
