Study Notes
Computer Engineering Overview
- Computer Engineering (CPE) combines aspects of electrical engineering and computer science.
- CPE professionals design, develop, and integrate hardware and software systems.
- CPE is distinct from Computer Science (focus on software) and Electrical Engineering (focus on circuitry).
- Job opportunities include hardware design engineers and cybersecurity specialists.
- Organizations like the Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines (ICpEP) and IEEE offer professional development and networking opportunities.
Computer Engineering Curriculum Overview
- The CPE curriculum is viewed as a combination of computer science (CS) and electrical engineering (EE).
- It focuses on computing across various scales, from microprocessors to supercomputers.
- It covers electrical engineering aspects of microprocessor function, design, and optimization.
- It covers data communication between electronic components, design and operation of integrated electronic systems.
- It involves software writing, compilation, and optimization for specific hardware platforms.
Engineering Ethics Defined
- Engineering applies scientific knowledge to create practical, cost-effective solutions for the benefit of society.
- It utilizes scientific understanding (physics, chemistry, etc.) to design and build things like cell phones, appliances, medical devices, and infrastructure.
- Engineers solve complex problems using rational thinking and logical decision-making.
- They use software tools to verify designs and predict structural behavior.
- Engineers must prioritize public safety, honesty, and professional integrity.
