INTRODUCTION TO
COMPUTER ENGINEERING
Is an interdisciplinary field that combines hardware and
software design to create computing systems. It bridges the
gap between computer science and electrical engineering,
focusing on the design, development, and implementation of
computer hardware, software, and their integration.
What Do Computer Engineers Do?
Hardware Design
Software Developmen Creating new
Writing code, often low- components (chips,
level or embedded, that motherboards, memory)
interacts directly with and improving existing
hardware ones
Research & Testing
System Integration:
Investigating new
Making sure hardware technologies (AI,
and software work quantum computing) and
together efficiently, rigorously testing
debugging issues at the prototypes

SUB-DISCIPLINES
How it Differs from
CS & EE
Computer Science (CS):
More theoretical, focusing on
algorithms, software, and
computation.
Electrical Engineering (EE):
Focuses on circuits, power, and
electronics; CE builds upon this
foundation for computing.

These estimates are calculated with data collected from
employers in all industry sectors, all metropolitan and
nonmetropolitan areas, and all states. The top employment
and wage figures are provided above. The complete list is
available in the downloadable XLS files.
The percentile wage estimate is the value of a wage below
which a certain percent of workers fall. The median wage is
the 50th percentile wage estimate—50 percent of workers
earn less than the median and 50 percent of workers earn
more than the median. More about percentile wages.
