To get anything done without the enablement of technological applications and our computer systems these days is nearly impossible, our machines are essential. Computer Engineering focuses on systems, software, and hardware aspects of computing, and includes hardware, software, and interfacing. Remember we started with big hardware and very limited software, and we have grown to the development of tiny microcomputers and more extensive software systems. This is a field that has everlasting opportunities to expand and interact with other technical areas.
