There are four fields of Computer Engineering that you can choose from as your major. You can pick from these specializations:
Computer Hardware
Ever wondered why gaming laptops and computers operate much faster than regular ones? This is due to the usage of faster and advanced hardware. Hardware is the core element in building a computer that operates based on commands directed by the software. You will be handling a lot of electrical components such as semiconductors, microprocessors, motherboards, CPUs, and many more.
Computer Network
Computers have evolved over the years and can now perform complicated tasks due to network connection, namely the Internet. This field is mostly about establishing a connection between computers and the Internet while allowing communication between computers and many other devices. Computer networking involves working with routers, Internet ports, network operating systems (NOS), and local operating systems (LOS), among many others.
Software Development
Without software, a computer is just an empty shell. Software is the complete opposite of hardware: it refers to the usage of programs, systems, instructions, and scripts to help a computer execute various tasks. In Software Development, you will learn about project management, quality assurance, and software testing.
Artificial Intelligence
Siri, Netflix, and Alexa are common names in the Artificial intelligence (AI) field. AI integrates human intelligence into machines that are programmed to mimic problem-solving, learning, and reasoning skills that humans have. The application of artificial intelligence has improved our quality of life, helping us save time and cost while increasing productivity. You will learn different concepts in artificial intelligence such as machine learning, natural language processing, and probability theory.
