The way we live, work and play in our technology-driven, interconnected world is largely influenced by the ideas and actions of computer engineers. Ryerson graduates use scientific and practical knowledge in digital circuit technology to create systems and devices that enrich our lives. Distinguished by their versatile skill set, computer engineers create everything from firmware to hardware to software to interfacing systems that let computer systems communicate with each other and the outside world.

Rewarding career opportunities in the field of Computer Engineering will give graduates of this program a chance to work in research and development, design production engineering or quality control, health care systems or the electronic service industry. Computer engineers design computer chips, circuits equipment/systems, plan computer layouts, and formulate mathematical models of technical problems that can be solved by a computer. They design, develop, and test computer hardware and peripheral equipment, as well as, maintain software programs and systems.
