Computer Engineering
The creative application of engineering principles and methods to the design and development of hardware and software systems Computer engineering is a specialized discipline that combines electrical engineering and computer science. A little-known subdivision is the study of computer engineering technology, which studies the techniques and applications of computer engineering with less emphasis on the mathematical and scientific theory.

Besides having a sound knowledge of the mathematics and the sciences which form an integral part of any engineering discipline, computer engineering encompasses topics that are more unique to the discipline, such as

* Algorithms
* Computer Architecture and Organization
* Computer Systems Engineering
* Database Systems
* Embedded Systems
* Human-Computer Interaction
* Operating Systems
* Software Engineering
* VLSI Design and Fabrication

Many of the areas of electronic engineering and computer engineering overlap, such as electronics and digital systems which form the basis of electronic components.
