Computer Engineering

Software Engineering

Software engineering is one of the sub-branches of computer engineering and is responsible for using knowledge in mathematics, design and the many aspects of software engineering to create, design and debug software for a computer. This could be anything from an operating system to a computer application

Hardware Engineering

Computer hardware engineering is another sub-branch of computer engineering and is responsible for designing and creating computer hardware and components. This can include processors, chips or circut boards, or can even include peripherals such as keyboards or printers
