Usual tasks involving computer engineers include writing software and
Firmware for
Embedded Microcontroller s, designing
VLSI chips, designing analog sensors, designing mixed signal
Circuit Board s, and designing
Operating System s. Computer engineers are also suited for
Robotics research, which relies heavily on using digital systems to control and monitor electrical systems like motors, communications, and sensors.
The terms and '''hardware engineer''' are also used, referring to the opposite of
Software Engineering .
Due to increasing job requirements for engineers, who can design and manage all forms of computer systems used in industry, some tertiary institutions around the world offer a bachelor's degree generally called "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.
The breadth of disciplines studied in computer engineering is not limited to the above subjects but can include any subject found in engineering.
