Computer engineers design, develop, and test new generations of chips, circuits, and systems for firmware (micro-code that controls processors) and hardware (computer equipment and processors). They also design, develop, and maintain software programs and systems, and formulate mathematical models of technical problems that can be solved by a computer.
As a computer engineer, you will become part of a field that - along with computer science - is revolutionizing the communication, trade, transportation, medical, and manufacturing industries.
As a Computer Engineering graduate, you will find employment opportunities in software development, hardware design, computer systems, and networks, as well as in research and development. Computer engineers are employed by a wide variety of companies involved in the design and development of: computer chips, circuits, equipment and systems; computer hardware and peripherals; and software programs and systems.
