Computer Engineering

Computer hardware engineers research, design, develop, and test computer hardware and supervise its manufacture and installation.  Hardware refers to computer chips, circuit boards, computer system and related equipment such as keyboards, modems, and printers.  Computer software engineers design and develop the software systems that control computers.  The rapid advances in computer technology are largely a result of the research and development and design efforts of computer engineers.  To keep up with technological advances, these engineers must continually update their knowledge.
