Computer Engineering

Computer engineering has grown from a subset of electrical engineering into an independent and diverse branch of the engineering profession. Computer engineering is a discipline dedicated to the design of computer components and systems. The field was originally considered a branch of electrical engineering, but has expanded beyond the realms of traditional electrical engineering and embracing some components of the computer science field.

Computer Engineering Education

The early curriculum for computer engineering students is very similar to electrical engineering students, including basic courses in mathematics and physics. Computer engineering students will also take courses in some electrical engineering topics, such as analog and digital circuit design. Advanced courses in this field are heavily dependent on the branch of computer engineering that the student wishes to pursue.
