Computer Engineer
Computer engineering is a branch of electrical engineering that integrates
several fields of computer science and electronic engineering required to
develop computer hardware and software. Computer engineers usually
have training in electronic 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. Robots are one of the applications of
computer engineering.
Usual tasks involving computer engineers include writing software and
firmware for embedded microcontrollers, designing VLSI chips, designing
analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing
operating systems.
