Computer Engineers apply algorithmic and digital design principles to design, build, and test computer software or hardware components used for information processing, communication, and storage - typically embedded in larger engineered systems and in distributed, networked environments. Application areas include communication, automation and robotics, power and energy, health care, business, security, entertainment, and many others. By their choice of elective courses, students may focus on the following broad domains: Systems for communications, control, or power. Digital hardware design and embedded computation. Software systems and software engineering. As a computer engineer, you might design custom digital computing hardware such as a video decoder for an MPEG stream. You might embed a microprocessor as a monitoring or controlling element in some other system. For example, in the biomedical area, we are starting to see implanted electronics such as a deep brain stimulator to combat symptoms of Parkinson's disease. You might develop the software that allows mobile wireless devices to communicate in a secure fashion, or even the next exciting game or web service. The Computer Engineering Program is controlled and administered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
