Computer Engineering (or Computer Systems Engineering) encompasses broad areas of both electrical engineering and computer science1. Computer engineers are engineers who have training in the areas of software design and hardware-software integration. 2 In turn, they focus less on power electronics and physicscitation needed than do electrical engineers. Some areas computer engineers are involved in are ASIC design, FPGA development, firmware development, software development, hardware-(firmware/software) integration, circuit design, and system-level design and integration3.
Computer Engineering is not software engineering, its a mixture of electrical engineering, computer science, and control systems engineering focusing on the design and low-level use of computers.

Retrieved on 2007-12-01., "The work of a computer engineer is grounded in the hardware -- from circuits to architecture -- but also focuses on operating systems and software. Computer engineers must understand logic design, microprocessor system design, computer architecture, computer interfacing, and continually focus on system requirements and design. It is primarily software engineers who focus on creating the software systems used by individuals and businesses, but computer engineers may also design and develop some software applications."

Retrieved on 2006-04-21., "Computer engineers need not only to understand how computer systems themselves work, but also how they integrate into the larger picture. Consider the car. A modern car contains many separate computer systems for controlling such things as the engine timing, the brakes and the air bags. To be able to design and implement such a car, the computer engineer needs a broad theoretical understanding of all these various subsystems & how they interact."
