Computer engineering

Computer Engineering (or Computer Systems Engineering or Information Systems Engineering) encompasses broad areas of both electrical engineering and computer science. Computer engineers are engineers who have training in the areas of software design and hardware-software integration. In turn, they focus less on power electronics and physics[citation 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 integration.

Computer Engineering is not software engineering, its a mixture of mechanical engineering, computer science, and electrical engineering.
