Computer engineering

What you may learn

How computer hardware and software work together, including digital circuits and embedded devices.

What to check

Check for circuit design, programming and projects that combine hardware with software.

Not an alias for IT support. Specialist chip architecture still needs explicit content.

Connected careers

Computer architecture helps you plan how a chip designed for artificial intelligence moves data and performs calculations.

Look for advanced chip-design projects. General computer engineering may not teach how to build chips for artificial intelligence.

Digital circuit and hardware design help you build and test computer components.

Look for circuit-board projects and testing with real equipment.

Digital logic and hardware programming help you build circuits inside programmable chips.

Does the course include programmable chips, circuit-description languages and hardware testing?
