What does a career in computer engineering entail?
Computer engineering is a critical component of both electrical engineering and computer sciences, which cartels the disciplines of the two for developing computer systems.
• People allied with this field are known as computer engineers.
• People connected with computer equipment are known as computer hardware engineers.
• People dealing with programs are known as Computer software engineers.
• Software engineers are responsible for,
- Designing and development
- Word processing
- Operating systems
- Network distribution
• Computer hardware engineers are responsible for,
- Designing
- Testing
- Manufacturing
- Installation
• You can blend the two branches of computer engineering or choose any one of them.
• Your basic task would involve designing software and hard ware computer-based systems for,
- embedded micro controllers,
- designing - VLSI chips,
- analog sensors,
- mixed signal circuit boards
- Operating systems.
