What is Computer Engineering?

Computer Engineering (CpE) is a dynamic professional field that blends the fields of hardware engineering with software development. Computer engineers are proficient in electrical and electronic engineering, software design, and hardware-software integration. The goal of a computer engineer is to promote the advancement of digital technology, computer networking, and embedded computer systems. Special focus will be placed in this program upon embedded systems design with the integration of sensors, actuators, and communication technologies.
