Outline of computer engineering

Microprocessors, like the Intel 80486DX2 die shown here, are a central component to many Computer Engineering applications.

The following outline is provided as an overview of and introduction to computer engineering:

Computer engineering – discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer hardware and software. Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering (or electrical engineering), software design, and hardware-software integration due to the utilization of both hardware and software technologies in the field. Computer engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work, but also how they integrate into the larger picture.
