What does a computer engineer do?

 As its name implies, the engineer works in the computational territory that, today, is very fertile. Although the focus of the training is the hardware - the physical part of the equipment -, the demands for this profession have an interface with the software, that is, systems, programs and networks.


But, after all, what does a computer engineer do in his day-to-day work? It all depends on the professional's area of ​​activity, the position assumed and the specializations throughout the training. However, in general, they are commonly performed in this career:


design and build peripheral equipment, such as keyboards, monitors, sound cards and printers;

develop and perfect computer programs;

create applications and mobile systems;

develop and execute network projects;

participate in telephone system installation projects;

create data processing and processing systems;

automate machines with computerized systems based on Artificial Intelligence;

A computer network is a set of computers that are connected together so that they can share information. The earliest examples of computer networks are from the 1960s, but they have come a long way in the half-century since then.


coordinate the implementation of robotics projects, and much more.

Finally, the computer engineer has a deep understanding of how computerized systems work. This knowledge allows for a wide range of professional applications.
