Computer engineering (or Computer Systems Engineering) encompasses broad areas of both electrical engineering and computer science[1]. Electrical engineering, sometimes referred to as electrical and electronic engineering, is a field of Engineering that deals with the study and application of Computer science (or computing science) is the study and the Science of the theoretical foundations of Information and Computation and their Computer engineers are engineers who have training in the areas of software design and hardware-software integration. [2] In turn, they focus less on power electronics and physics than do electrical engineers. This article refers to the technology of power electronics For the musical genre see power electronics Power electronics is the applications Physics (Greek Physis - φύσις in everyday terms is the Science of Matter and its motion. Some areas computer engineers are involved in are ASIC design, FPGA development, firmware development, software development, hardware-(firmware/software) integration, circuit design, and system-level design and integration[3]. FPGAs should not be confused with the Flip-chip pin grid array, a form of integrated circuit packaging In Computing, firmware is a computer program that is Embedded in a hardware device for example a Microcontroller.

Academic discipline

The first accredited computer engineering degree program in the United States was established at Case Western Reserve University in 1971 by Jimmy Prater; as of 2004 October there were 170 ABET-accredit computer engineering programs in the U.S. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Case Western Reserve University is a private research university located in Cleveland Ohio, United States, with some residence halls on the south end of campus Year 1971 ( MCMLXXI) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full calendar of the 1971 Gregorian calendar.

The following is a list of universities with Computer engineering programs Within a university, computer engineering degree programs are often referred to as "CompE," "CpE," or simply "CE," which may be confused with Civil Engineering. Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built

Both computer engineering and electronic engineering programs include analog and digital circuit design in their curricula. Electronic engineering is a discipline dealing with the behavior and effects of Electrons (as in electron tubes and transistors and with electronic devices systems or equipment As with most engineering disciplines, having a sound knowledge of mathematics and sciences is necessary for computer engineers.

In many institutions, computer engineering students are allowed to choose areas of in-depth study in their junior and senior year, as the full breadth of knowledge used in the design and application of computers is well beyond the scope of an undergraduate degree. The joint IEEE/ACM Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Computer Engineering defines the core knowledge areas of computer engineering as[5]:

To be able to design and implement such a car, the computer engineer needs a broad theoretical understanding of all these various subsystems & how they interact. "
