ENGINEERING VS PROFESSION Christian Rick C. Asuncion Department of Computer Engineering College of Engineering PROFESSION Definition from dictionary: - An occupation that requires specialized knowledge and advanced education through long and intensive academic preparation. It is a paid occupation, and it involves prolonged training and formal qualifications Example: Medicine, Law, Accounting ENGINEERING Definition from dictionary: - The science or profession of developing and problem solving in which nature’s energy and resources are made useful to people using science and mathematics. Involves designing, building, and maintaining structures, machines, and systems. Example: Civil Engg., Computer Engg., Mechanical Engg. Characteristics of Engineering Problem-Solving Focus Engineers identify problems and create solutions. Innovation and Design Involves designing new products and systems, and improve current solutions. Technical Skills Requires strong foundation in math and science Continuous Learning Keeping up with technological advancements, using these as tools to further improve efficiency and productivity. Characteristics of a Profession Formal Education and Training Elementa ry Requires specific degrees and certifications. Secondar Ethical Standards y Adherence to a code of ethics. Tertiary Professional Development Ongoing education and skill enhancement. Post graduate Public Trust Professionals are trusted to act in the Improve public’s best interest skill set Engineering as a Profession Licensing and Certification Professional Engineer certifications Professional Organizations ICpEP (ICpEP.SE for students) Professional Development Ongoing education and skill enhancement. Ethical Responsibilities Ensuring public health, safety, and wellfare COMPUTER ENGINEERING It is the combination of disciplines in the field of electrical engineering, and computer science. This profession specializes in the development of computer systems, both hardware and software, designed to perform specific functions in real-time. COMPUTER ENGINEERING The computer engineering course typically takes four years to complete, and the following are the included subjects: Program languages Algorithms Data structures Computer systems Calculus Computer architecture Algebra ICpEP It means Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines. It was formed by a group of computer engineers in 1992 and was formerly known as Philippine Institute of Computer Engineers (PhICE). PhICE was active for only several years but computer engineers from different organizations cooperated to revive the organization. After several meetings the group decided to change its name to Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines (ICpEP). ”COMPUTER” - The term computer was originally the name for people who does calculations. - Nowadays “computer” means an electronic device or machine that have a software and hardware components that can input, process, output, and store data. CAREER PATHS FOR A COMPUTER ENGINEER Computer engineering offers numerous career paths and specialization opportunities. There are three main paths that a computer engineer could choose after graduating: Software Engineering Computer Hardware Engineering Network Engineering SOFTWARE ENGINEERING - With the use of different programming languages, they design, create, and improve software programs. - Professionals in this field specializes in different types of software, or mobile applications. COMPUTER HARDWARE ENGINEERING - This profession deals with creating new computers and technological hardware such as embedded systems. - In this field, professionals may build and test computer models and implement suggestions to optimize the speed of computers. NETWORK ENGINEERING - Network engineers plan, build, and maintain computer network systems. - Their responsibilities includes establishing network protocol, and designing and testing networking systems and hardware. Get in Touch WithusUs Send a message or visit us City of Batac, Ilocos Norte, Philippines (63) 77-600-0459 [email protected] Follow us for updates facebook.com/MMSUofficial www.mmsu.edu.ph
