A branch off of the
electrical engineering discipline, concentrating primarily on the design of complete systems for the processing of
information. In particular, concentrates a lot on
digital systems,
electronics,
programmable devices, and
software for
embedded systems (At least as I have experienced it.)
Personally, I think that computer engineering degrees are confused with computer science way too often--CE seems to focus on hardware, usually with large doses of software thrown in, whereas CS focuses much more heavily on software and algorithms.
