Week 1 Computer Engineering Definition

Computer engineering is defined as the discipline involving the design, construction, implementation and maintenance of both software and hardware components of modern computing systems. It combines aspects of computer science and electrical engineering. Computer engineers are involved in tasks like designing microchips, circuit boards, operating systems, and more. They also work in fields like robotics which rely on digital systems controlling electrical components.

Week 1

Computer Engineering Definition


Computer Engineering is defined as the discipline that embodies the science and technology of
design, construction, implementation, and maintenance of software and hardware components
of modern computing systems and computer-controlled equipment. 
Computer Engineering Definition

 Computer engineering has traditionally been viewed as a combination of both computer


science (CS) and electrical engineering (EE).

 It has evolved over the past three decades as a separate, although intimately related,
discipline.

 Computer engineering is solidly grounded in the theories and principles of computing,


mathematics, science, and engineering and it applies these theories and principles to
solve technical problems through the design of computing hardware, software, networks,
and processes.
Computer Engineering Definition

 A branch of engineering that integrates several fields of computer science and electronic engineering required


to develop computer hardware and software.[1] Computer engineers usually have training in electronic
engineering (or electrical engineering), software design, and hardware-software integration instead of only 
software engineering or electronic engineering.

 Computer engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects of computing, from the design of
individual microcontrollers, microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This
field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work but also how they integrate
into the larger picture.[2]
Usual Tasks Involving Computer Engineers Include:

1. Writing software and firmware for embedded microcontrollers

2. Designing VLSI chips, designing analog sensors

3. Designing mixed signal circuit boards

4. Designing operating systems.
Computer engineers are also suited for:

 1. Robotics research, which relies heavily on using digital systems to control and monitor electrical systems like 
motors, communications, and sensors.
