Everything about Computer Engineering totally explained

Computer engineering (or Computer Systems Engineering) encompasses broad areas of both electrical engineering and computer science. Computer engineers are electrical engineers that have additional training in the areas of software design and hardware-software integration. In turn, they focus less on power electronics and physics. 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.

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.
   Due to increasing job requirements for engineers that can design and manage all forms of computer systems used in industry, several tertiary institutions around the world offer a course of study in computer engineering. Both computer engineering and electronic engineering programs include analog and digital circuit design in their curricula. 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:
