The Field
Computer engineers analyze, design, and evaluate computer
systems, both hardware and software. They might work on system
such as a flexible manufacturing system or a "smart" device or
instrument. Computer engineers often find themselves focusing on
problems or challenges which result in new "state of the art"
products, which integrate computer capabilities. They work on the
design, planning, development, testing, and even the supervision of
manufacturing of computer hardware -- including everything from
chips to device controllers.

They work on the interface between different pieces of hardware

and strive to provide new capabilities to existing and new systems
or products. The work of a computer engineer is grounded in the
hardware -- from circuits to architecture -- but also focuses on
operating systems and software. They may also focus on computer networks for the
transmission of data and multimedia. Computer engineers must understand logic design,
microprocessor system design, computer architecture, computer interfacing, and continually
focus on system requirements and design. It is primarily software engineers who focus on
creating the software systems used by individuals and businesses, but computer engineers
may also design and develop some software applications.

Preparation
Students studying computer engineering may choose to focus on specialty areas including
artificial intelligence (intelligent systems for applications such as robotics, language
understanding, knowledge acquisition, reasoning, computer vision, and pattern recognition),
computer systems (the design and analysis of computers including the topics of VLSI (Very
Large Scale Integration) systems, computer architecture, computer networks, and integrated
circuits), or systems and computations (including the integration of both hardware and software
into a coherent system). They must have strong analytical stills and be detail oriented. In
addition, they must work well in team situations as they are often called upon to work in a
group setting with other engineers and with others outside of engineering.

 Computer Science vs. Computer Engineering vs. Information Science
Most four year degree programs in computer science and computer engineering are accredited
by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Typically these degree
programs reside in the university’s College of Engineering. The computer engineering degree
program resides in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, or the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering, or it may be a stand alone Department of Computer
Engineering. In some cases, such as, MIT and University of California at Berkeley, these
degrees are offered in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Typically there is considerable overlap in the computer science and the computer engineering
degree programs. The major difference between the two accredited degree programs is that
an engineering design component is required in the accredited computer engineering degree
program.

Information science degree programs are tailored to prepare students for careers in the
application of computers in business. Therefore these degree programs typically reside in
business colleges and are not accredited by ABET. Although there are a few ABET accredited
programs offered in engineering colleges. In addition to computer science courses in
programming, computer organization and operation, computer networks, databases, these
degree programs require courses in business and management, and fewer courses are
required in mathematics and the sciences than in computer science and engineering degree
programs.

Computer Engineering Programs

A bachelor’s degree in engineering is required for almost all
entry-level engineering jobs. Accredited computer engineering
programs usually provide broad studies in electrical engineering
and computer science. It is important to select a program that is
accredited in Computer Engineering.

Admission Requirements
Admissions requirements for undergraduate engineering
schools include a solid background in mathematics (algebra,
geometry, trigonometry, and calculus) and science (biology, chemistry, and physics), and
courses in English, social studies, humanities, and computer and information technology.
Bachelor’s degree programs in engineering typically are designed to last 4 years, but many
students find that it takes between 4 and 5 years to complete their studies. In a typical 4-year
college curriculum, the first 2 years are spent studying mathematics, basic sciences,
introductory engineering, humanities, and social sciences. In the last 2 years, most courses
are in engineering, usually with a concentration in one branch. For example, a computer
engineering program might include courses in computer hardware, microcomputers, software
engineering, digital signal and image processing, electromagnetic fields, electronic devices
and circuits, and computer organization and design.

Co-ops
Internships and Coops provide students with a great opportunity to gain real-world experience
while still in school. Many universities offer co-op and internship programs for students
studying Computer Engineering.

 Courses of Study
Students specializing in Computer Engineering will study
computer hardware, microcomputers, software engineering,
digital signal and image processing, electromagnetic fields,
electronic devices and circuits, and computer organization
and design. They will likely take courses in linear algebra,
data structures and software principles. Computer Engineers
also need to develop strong communication skills.

Ongoing Study
Technological advances come so rapidly in the computer field that continuous study is
necessary to keep one's skills up to date post graduation. Employers, hardware and software
vendors, colleges and universities, and private training institutions offer continuing education.
Additional training may come from professional development seminars offered by professional
computing societies. At some point in the career of the engineer typically the engineer must
make a choice between following strictly a technical career path or a career path that involves
both technology and management. State-of-the-art research and development teams are
usually led by individuals with an M.S. or Ph.D. degree in engineering or science. The Ph.D.
degree is typically required for individuals aspiring to be university research professors. Some
engineers elect the technology management path. Typically they take advanced courses in
accounting and finance, business management, business or patent law, and entrepreneurship
and may acquire an MBA degree or an advance degree in technology management.

Accredited Programs
Those interested in a career in Computer Engineering should consider reviewing engineering
programs that are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.
(ABET). ABET accreditation is based on an evaluation of an engineering program’s student
achievement, program improvement, faculty, curricular content, facilities, and institutional
commitment. The following is a partial list of universities offering accredited degree programs

 Coding, Cryptography, and Information Protection
Computer engineers in this area are developing novel methods
for protecting digital images, music, and other information from
errors in transmission or storage, copyright infringement and
other forms of tampering. Coding theory is used to detect and
correct errors caused by distortions in the transmission or storage
of digital information, or to compress information. In particular,
wireless communications, multi-antenna systems, optical
transmission, and other realistic communication systems pose
important open challenges for the reliable transmission and
protection of information. Digital watermarking is the process of embedding codes, usually
secret, in the images/information to be stored to deter hackers from downloading information
obtained illegally, and to efficiently manage large image databases.

Communications and Wireless Networks

This specialty area focuses on a broad range of topics that
will advance the frontiers of communications systems and
networks (with particular attention to wireless), modulation
and error-control coding, and information theory. Computer
engineers working in this area may explore wireless
communication opportunities to take advantage of new
frequency bands and increase the efficiency of current
bands. Other areas of focus are design techniques for high-
speed networks, interference suppression and modulation, design and analysis of fault-tolerant
systems, and storage and transmission schemes.

Compilers and Operating Systems

Those focusing on the specialty area of compilers and operating systems design future
computer operating systems, libraries, and applications to be automatically customized for
each deployment environment. They might develop new operating system architectures,
transparent program analysis techniques, post-link-time code transformation algorithms, and
novel quality assurance techniques.

Computational Science and Engineering

In this area, computational methods are applied to formulate and solve complex mathematical
problems in engineering and in the physical and the social sciences. Computer simulation
methods are developed for all kinds of systems, and effective display techniques are employed
to communicate the computational results to the user. Examples include aircraft design, the
plasma processing of nanometer features on semiconductor wafers, VLSI circuit design, radar
detection systems, ion transport through biological channels, and much more.

 Computer Networks, Mobile Computing, and Distributed Systems
Individuals working in this area would build integrated
environments for computing, communications, and
information access over heterogeneous underlying
technologies. Specific projects might include shared-
channel wireless networks, adaptive resource management
in dynamic distributed systems including mobile systems,
improving the quality of service in mobile and ATM
environments, a platform for adaptive computing and
seamless memory over heterogeneous wireless networks,
and reliable and efficient communication on a fast Ethernet cluster.

Computer Systems: Architecture, Parallel Processing, and Dependability

The Computer Systems area encompasses a broad spectrum of research projects that
address all aspects of reliable, testable, secure, high-performance computer systems. Specific
projects might include designing a super-pipelined single-chip coprocessor for executing multi-
threaded digital signal processing applications; investigating how to build highly-available and
secure computer hardware, software, network, and telecommunication systems; and
developing new theory, algorithms, and tools to predict the availability of computer hardware,
software, network, and telecommunication systems.

Computer Vision and Robotics

In this area computer engineers focus on (a) visual sensing, in
which images of a scene are taken as input and estimates of
the three-dimensional characteristics of the scene are output,
(b) representation, which addresses efficient visual depiction
and communication of the environment, and (c) manipulation
of the environment, in which the acquired three-dimensional
information is used to perform tasks such as navigation and
assembly. Applications offer the promise of improved human
modeling, image communication, and human-computer
interfaces, as well as devices such as special-purpose
cameras with versatile vision sensors.

Embedded Systems
Computer engineers working in this area focus on enhancing the speed, reliability, and
performance of systems, by means of computer technology - for example, consumer products,
and business and industrial machines. Most functions of the modern automobile are controlled
by embedded microprocessors. Embedded systems are currently being developed that
coordinate systems such as automated vehicles and equipment to conduct search and rescue,
automated transportation systems, and human-robot coordination to repair equipment in
space.

 Integrated Circuits, VLSI Design, Testing, and Computer Aided Design
Computer engineers working in this area focus on enhancing the speed, reliability, and energy
efficiency of next-generation Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) circuits and microsystems, as
well as automating the design process. Projects might include low-power VLSI algorithms and
architectures, noise-tolerance for VLSI and DSP (digital signal processors), mixed-signal
analog IC (integrated circuit) design, MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) for integrated
passive RF (radio frequency) components, electrothermal simulation and electrostatic
discharge protection for silicon-on-insulator CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-
semiconductor) circuits, and a theoretical exploration of the fundamental bounds of efficiency
and reliability of VLSI computation.

Signal, Image, and Speech Processing

Computer engineers working in this area might focus on developing
improvements in human-computer interaction, speech recognition and
synthesis, medical and scientific imaging, or communications systems.
Computer vision tasks such as facial feature recognition, when
combined with multimedia databases and novel schemes for
representation and compression, are examples of work in this area.
Work in speech and language engineering would seek to understand
human language faculties and to develop computer systems with
comparable faculties. Dynamic MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), fast
computed tomography, electron microscopy, laser imaging of ocean
mines, and passive radar imaging of aircraft using radio and television
signals are among the imaging systems currently being developed.
Signal processing projects might focus on developing new advances in
hearing aid technology.

Day in the Life

Computer engineers are concerned with the design, development,
and implementation of computer technology into a wide range of
consumer, industrial, commercial, and military applications. In
automobiles design, for example, computers are integrated into
many systems, including air conditioning, navigation, audio and
video systems, and even tire pressure alert systems. As more and
more products incorporate or interact with computers, computer
engineers are challenged to develop computer applications that
improve the quality of life while being sensitive to manufacturing
and distribution costs.
Teams and Coworkers
Almost all jobs in engineering require some sort of interaction with coworkers. Whether they
are working in a team situation, or just asking for advice, most engineers have to have the
ability to communicate and work with other people. Engineers should be creative, inquisitive,
analytical, and detail-oriented. They should be able to work as part of a team and to
communicate well, both orally and in writing. Communication abilities are important because
engineers often interact with specialists in a wide range of fields outside engineering. Writing
and presentation skills are also vital so engineers can share their research and experiences
with colleagues through topical meetings, professional associations, and various publications.

 Tasks
Computer engineers work on hardware, software and the
interface between the two. They work in teams with other
engineers and others from other areas to design, build, and
maintain systems that incorporate or use computers. Working
as a computer engineer requires expertise in both computer
hardware and software, and requires the engineer to be able
to recommend tradeoffs between hardware and software to
create a system or product design that is cost effective and
useful.

The Workplace
Computer engineers usually work in offices or laboratories in comfortable surroundings. They
usually work about 40 hours a week -- the same as many other professional or office workers
do. However, evening or weekend work may be necessary to meet deadlines or solve specific
problems. Given the technology available today, telecommuting is common for computer
professionals. As networks expand, more work can be done from remote locations through
modems, laptops, electronic mail, and the Internet. Computer Engineers are employed in
industry, government, education, and consulting. It is difficult to find a company that doesn't
require the expertise of computer engineers for its products or systems.

Earnings
Earnings for engineers vary significantly by specialty, industry, and education. Even so, as a
group, engineers earn some of the highest average starting salaries among those holding
bachelor's degrees. According the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the
median income for computer engineers is $88,470.

Entry-level salaries vary based on your areas of expertise,

experience, education, supervisory responsibility,
accountability for projects, and the geographic location, size,
and industry of the employer. In terms of starting salaries, the
average starting salary for computer engineers who have
earned a Bachelor's degree is $56,201, while those with a
Master's were offered $60,000. Ph.D. computer engineers
received average starting salaries of $92,500.

According to a 2007 salary survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the
average offer to computer engineering bachelor's graduates rose 3.2 percent to $55,946.

Employment
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, computer engineers hold about 79,000
jobs. This represents 5.3% of the 1.5 million jobs held by engineers in the U.S. Computer
engineers are employed in industry, government, education, and consulting. They usually
work in teams with other engineers and individuals from other functional areas. They may be
working on a new design of an electronic component for an individual project, focused on the
development of software specific to a new product, or one being redesigned, or may work in
sales or in supporting research activities. Computer engineers frequently work on new
applications of computers, such as advances in digital television and photography, virtual
meeting technology, intelligent highways, control systems, and new technologies for cars,
phones, security systems, telescopes, airplanes, and space vehicles. The following is a partial

Career Path Forecast
According to the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
computer hardware engineers are expected to have 5 percent
employment growth over the projections decade, slower than the
average for all occupations.

Although the use of information technology continues to expand

rapidly, the manufacture of computer hardware is expected to be
adversely affected by intense foreign competition.

As computer and semiconductor manufacturers contract out more of

their engineering needs to both domestic and foreign design firms,
much of the growth in employment of hardware engineers is expected
in the computer systems design and related services industry.
