The field of Computer Engineering has been one of the main drivers of technological and societal progress that has been witnessed in modern history since the middle of the 20th century. Expansion in world economy, build-up in the prosperity of nations and improvements in the health and well-being of mankind would not have been possible without computer engineers.
Computer engineers design the hardware and software systems at the heart of essentially every contemporary device one can imagine. Their work involves a deep understanding of the trade-offs involved between hardware and software resources, as they seek to provide solutions, products and services with the best performance at the lowest costs.
