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.
