Computer Engineering Computer engineers analyze, design and, evaluate computer systems hardware and software. They work on different systems focusing in on problems and working to improve performance. Computer engineers work on computer design, planning, development, testing, and supervision of manufacturing. This paper will present education requirements, potential employers, and salary. For one to enter the field of computer engineering one must have a minimum of a bachelor degree in computer engineering. A bachelor degree in Computer Engineering usually provides studies in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Some schools that offer this degree are accredited by the Accreditation
A day in the life of a computer engineer involves interaction with their fellow employees. This may involve communicating orally and written. A computer engineers should have good communication skills because they have to work with engineers in other fields. A computer engineer also must have excellent writing and presentation skills for when they are showing their colleagues results for research they have completed. Computer engineers are presented with tasks daily working with either computer hardware software or sometimes both. They work to make computer hardware and software more efficient and, lower that cost to make these computers. Computer engineers work in either a laboratory or office for 40 hours out of the week, with the exception of coming on the weekend to meet certain deadlines. An engineer coming in salary is depending on their degree. Computer Engineers with a bachelor degree income is 56,201 a year, While Computer engineers with a master degree are offered 60,000, but Computer engineers with a Ph.D. are offered an income of 92,500 a year. While the median income for all computer engineers is 88,470. The U.S Bureau of labor statistics 5.3% of all engineers work in the field with computers. Computer Engineers are classified by their specific area of focus. Here are some major specialty areas one may go into “Coding, Cryptography, and Information Protection, Communications and Wireless Networks, Compilers and Operating Systems, Computational Science and Engineering, Computer Network, Mobile, Computing, and Distributed Systems, Computer Systems: Architecture, Parallel Processing, and Dependability, Computer Vision and Robotics, Embedded Systems, Integrated Circuits, VLSI Design, Testing, and CAD, Signal, Image, and Speech Processing.” After being employed one may join an engineering
