What does a computer engineer do?

What type of engineer develops computer hardware etc?

  • What type of engineer develops computer hardware etc? I really like the idea of working with computer and computer hardware specifically. When you read and see videos saying eg' the engineers at interl really came up with something new here' just a random example but you hear things like that a lot. So what type of engineers are they exactly? And is that the name of a course at uni. Are they electronic engineers or what and if they were 'electronic engineers' for instance would they have just done a course at university called 'electronic engineering'

  • Answer:

    Electrical engineers, electronics engineers, computer engineers. You might be interested in being either a chip designer, or a designer of the circuits that use those chips. Either way, you'll probably find that most engineering schools have EE and CE in the same department, called ECE, and that's likely the course of study you want to look at.

Develop a hardware is not easy because there are many factors to be considered and also any development should be for improvement. Be sure that the technology we're using now has been developed long time ago but companies never reveals the latest developments so they can get more profit. Also, following standards and regulations been agreed with other companies (in case the development is helded in a company lab) is very important to acoid legal cases. Usually electronic engineers do design the circuits but in cooperation with programmers, chemical engineers, sometimes physicists, and financial specialists. Each one have a job to do to ensure that the developed hardware is efficient and worth to be sold. Electronic engineers are able to develop when they have a full understanding for the logic behind any hardware. It begins with a university degree and great imagination and lot of brain work! Good luck :)
