Why Study Computer Engineering?
|
Computers are all around us. We are aware of a few of them, like laptops and video games, but most of them are invisible, embedded in the products we use. A modern car uses upto 50 microcomputers which control everything from engine operation to the stereo. Computers run the Internet, control the power grid, and operate our cell phones and MP3 players. All these computer-based products are conceived, designed, programmed and tested by computer engineers. The computer engineers education is part Computer Science and part Electrical Engineering. In order to design the computing hardware and make it sense and control things, the computer engineer must understand electronic circuits, communications, and control. To program the system, the computer engineer needs to know about algorithms, how to express a problem in a computable form, as well as information coding, programming, and operating systems. This is all backed up with a solid grounding in math and science. Our computer Engineering graduates find careers in almost every industry, from power systems to microelectronics. A Bachelors Degree in Computer Engineering qualifies them to take the exams to become Registered Professional Engineers, and to go on for postgraduate study. Interviews with the professionals |
