Choose A Major


The Computer Engineering major involves students that want to know exactly how and why computers work the way they do. After learning how computers operate they constantly strive in ways to make computers even better. Computer Engineering is a degree in sciences. Computer Engineering has two main aspects which are Software Engineering and Hardware Engineering. Computer Engineering stresses largely on science and math courses. Most of the upper division classes that are taken involve lab work. In this course it is very important to be able to solve different problems, work well other people, and also be able to independently work.
            One related career to Computer Engineering is being a software engineer. Software engineers usually work for software development companies. Software engineers create coded instruction that a computer how to operate or what to do in certain steps. When creating software a software engineering team is usually involved. Therefore, a software engineer does a certain part of the development. It is often compared to a group of people putting a giant puzzle together.  Then after the code is finalized the software engineers would instruct programmers to actually create the program. After the programming part of the process computer engineers often end up testing the software to see if it was developed correctly.
