- 1Computer Engineeringis a program that embodies the science and technology of design, development, implementation, maintenance, and integration of software and hardware components in modern computing systems and computer- controlled equipment.
the goal of computer engineers is to match the proper hardware and software to meet the technological, scientific, and administrative needs of businesses and industries through the integration of electrical engineering and computer science practices. - 2Computer engineer vs computer science In hardwareComputer engineers build hardware while computer scientists generally do not. However, computer scientists certainly know enough about hardware to analyze computer system operations and to interact with hardware engineers.
- 3Computer engineer vs computer science in softwareComputer scientists know more about the underlying theory of computation, programming languages, and operating systems. While computer engineers often work as programmers that usually write the programs for computer- based systems.
- 4Characteristics of a Computer EngineerPossess the ability to design computers, computer-based systems, and networks that include both hardware and software to solve complex engineering problems, subject to trade-offs involving a set of competing goals and constraints.
Have a depth of knowledge in mathematics and engineering sciences, associated with the broader scope of engineering and beyond that narrowly required for the field.
Acquire and maintain a preparation for professional practice in engineering. - 5Overview of What Computer Engineers DoResearching software and computer hardware;
Designing and testing computer hardware components, such as processors, circuit boards, memory devices, and routers;
Writing and testing software for mobile devices and computers;
Designing, setting up, and testing networks;
Managing operating systems;
Designing and testing robots; and
Creating programs to support a range of products, from aircraft components to surgical technology. - 6Professionalismis demonstrated by more than just qualifications, knowledge, and skills.

Emotional Intelligence
Integrity
Appropriateness
Conscientiousness
Confidence - 8CompetenceAs a professional who gets the job done – and done well. The abilities match the requirements of the role and often produce results that exceed expectations.
But never rely on simply for the sake of appearances. Instead, professionalism allows you to manage your own and others' expectations and to ask for support when necessary. - 9KnowledgeProfessionalism involves developing detailed, up-to-date knowledge, which is often highly specialized. Professionals can strive to master a specific role by adding new knowledge at every stage of their careers.
It is also important to put the knowledge into action. Being professional means feeling confident to show that knowledge – not for self-promotion, but to help yourself and others to succeed. - 10RespectProfessionalism means being a role model for politeness and good manners – to everyone, not just to people to impress.
To show true respect for other people, take their needs into account, and by helping to uphold their rights. - 11Emotional IntelligenceStaying professional even under pressure is a sign of a true professional. This takes strategies for managing emotions and a clear awareness of other people's feelings. In short, emotional intelligence is essential.
Sometimes, professionalism means keeping emotions in check. But at other times, it is important to express your feelings to have meaningful conversations or to stand up for what you believe in. - 12IntegrityIntegrity is what keeps professional people true to their word. It also stops them from compromising their values, even if that means taking a harder road.
Integrity is bound up with being honest – to yourself and to the people you meet. Beliefs and behaviors are aligned, and everyone can see the genuineness. - 13AppropriatenessA big part of being professional is knowing what is appropriate in different situations as it avoids awkwardness or upset, boosts credibility, and helps to feel secure in your role.
Appropriateness relates to outward appearances, such as dress, personal grooming, and body language, but it also covers the way you speak and write, the topics you choose to discuss, and how you behave with others. - 14ConscientiousnessProfessionalism involves being reliable, setting own high standards, and showing care about every aspect of the job. It is about being industrious and organized, and holding yourself accountable for your thoughts, words, and actions.
But don't confuse conscientiousness with working longer hours than everyone else or obsessing about details. True professionals plan and prioritize their work to keep it under control, and they don't let perfectionism hold them back. - 15ConfidenceWell-founded confidence reassures and motivates other people, boosting the ability to influence and lead. It also pushes you to take on new challenges because the fear of damaging your professional reputation if things go wrong is non-existent.
Professionalism makes you confident about what you’re doing now but always eager to do it better and achieve more.
