 Computer Engineering Technology

Computer engineering is about hardware and software systems and about getting them to work together efficiently. Computer engineering technologists work within the industry in supportive roles. The pathway to a computer engineering technology job can be shorter than it is with a traditional engineering degree -- you may break into the field with either an associate's or a bachelor's. If you do opt for a four-year-degree, you'll get a slightly different education than if you opted for computer engineering. Computer engineering technology is more focused on pragmatics than theory.

What are computer engineering technologists doing on the job? Options include quality assurance, computer integrated manufacturing, technical documentation, and computer repairs. Schools also report that their graduates have been hired as computer systems engineers, computer test engineers, and software engineers. Prospective students should be aware that many engineering positions do favor those with bachelor’s degrees.
Computer engineering technology students learn the technical skills they need to help computer engineers design computer hardware and software. Class topics include computer electronics and programming, computer installation and testing, and report writing
