Computer Engineering
Computer engineering is a branch of knowledge or education that consists of the elements of Computer Science as well as Electrical engineering. Hence this branch of study is also known as electronic and computer engineering.
A person is eligible to become a Computer engineer who is already qualified as an electrical engineer and also has additional training in the sphere of hardware- software consolidation and software design. Apart from these, computer engineers should also be expert in mathematics and other branches of Science.
Computer engineers are required to concentrate less on Physics and power electronics. They are particularly adept in the fields of computing, designing personal and super computers and micro processors and so on.
The skill of Computer engineering is essentially required for writing firmware and software embedded microcontrollers, incorporating embedded systems into machines and devices, designing operating systems, VLSI chips, mixed signal circuit boards, analog sensors and et al. The knowledge of computer engineering is also needed for robotics research that particularly depends on the application of digital systems for controlling and monitoring electrical devices such as sensor and motors.

Computer engineering is a very lucrative option as an academic and career discipline.
There has been a great demand for Computer engineering professionals throughout the globe. The first recognized Computer Engineering Degree Program was introduced at the Western Reserve University in United States in 1971. Gradually some tertiary institutions offering a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering sprang up throughout the world.
