Video Talk:Computer engineering
what computer engineer entails?
I am a student of Camile's institute which is in Guyana and i would like to know what computer engineer is about, like the subject required at cxc (Caribbean examination council)and also what i have to accomplish in order to become a computer engineer. -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.80.20.122 (talk) 23:17, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Main image
I just replaced the main image with one of a generic motherboard as it seemed more representative of the field of Computer engineering than the image of a specific brand of processing chip. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ??? 17:57, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
- Although I agree that the Altera FPGA bordered on an advertisement for Altera and had considered changing it myself, the picture you used looks pretty awful(focus, detail, background all look odd), could we find something that was taken closer but don't features one chip so prominently?

- I have no objection to a better quality image, a search on Commons turns up quite a few "motherboards". I specifically searched for a motherboard because its typically associated with a computer versus just searching for a "circuit board" which could be for any electronic device. But who knows what that search might turn up. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ??? 19:34, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
"Speciality areas"
I think the subsection "Speciality Areas" needs some updating, and I'm willing to help. However, I do not know of the exact terminology that is appropriate to use. For example, surely a company that manufacturers digital keyboards and mice would embody "computer engineering", but there is no specialty area listed that would include such engineered products.
Or perhaps I am mistaken and computer mice/keyboards accompany electrical engineering but not computer engineering.

Combined names such as EECS and ECE are meaningful and are actively used
The article certainly needs improvement, but terms like "sucks" are inappropriate and totally uninformative.
Historically, computer science is associated with [the theory of] software, and electrical engineering with analog electronic circuits and systems, including control systems. The adjective "analog" is not restrictive, since digital circuits and systems are essentially analog, and the RF engineering aspects become prominent at higher speeds. Conversely, functions formerly implemented by purely (i.e., not stored-program) analog circuits are increasingly implemented in software, but even then analysis and design at higher levels (block diagram level) is done with principles and mathematical models from the analog world.
Terms like EECS (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) and ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering) are well-suited to characterize the combination of both disciplines and are in actual use by many universities to indicate curricula intended to teach both disciplines in an integrated fashion, in contrast with [formerly] separate EE and CS departments. Replacing these terms with Computer Engineering would be inaccurate because this term narrows the scope. Boute (talk) 05:25, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Many errors in this article
This article is presenting computer engineering as if it's the big picture discipline when it is not. Computer engineering is a hardware-centric program with some lower-division programming courses. Computer science, on the other hand, is theory and software-centric with programming in both upper and lower division courses. The actual big picture academic program is called "computer science and engineering" (sometimes "electrical engineering and computer science" at some universities). I think what is happening is that people see that the term software engineer contains the word "engineer" and is assuming it is part of computer engineering. Look at any university catalog and you will find that software engineering courses are organized under the computer science department, not the computer engineering dept. Computer engineering departments typically contain courses in integrated circuit design, control systems, etc. You can look at the course requirements in any university catalog and confirm that the program is vastly different with very little overlap at the upper division (CE students don't get to take a lot of CS courses, and vice versa). Looking further at universities that offer CSE/EECS programs you will see that CS+CE=CSE in terms of what a CSE major can take (they're allowed to take any course in CS and CE dept).
