What types of tasks are involved with Computer Engineering?
Taking into account deadlines, budgets, and specialized needs, a computer engineer designs and helps produce the final hardware or software product. The engineer is often the person responsible for training clients on equipment they have designed. Hardware engineers provide computer hardware diagnosis, repair, configuration, and installation of computer hardware. Software engineers create or modify computer programs by converting project requirements into code that translates into software that matches client specifications and expectations. All computer engineers may do any or all of the following tasks: • Analyze information to determine client needs • Conduct training and presentations • Collaborate with clients, project managers, and team members to organize and plan projects • Determine if the project will meet the desired budget • Research, develop, integrate, and distribute security tools and associated documentation.
