A Brief History of Engineering
Published in Diane P. Michelfelder, Neelke Doorn, The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering, 2020
Computer and nuclear engineering are examples of the proliferation of engineering disciplines in the contemporary world. Computer engineering is rooted in programmable digital computers built during the Second World War, and it remained a relatively small field within electrical engineering until the explosion of the consumer market for computing technologies late in the twentieth century. Within computer engineering there are now a proliferation of sub-specialties, in systems engineering, network engineering, security and operations engineering, algorithm engineering, etc.
Engineering and Technology Professions
Published in Quamrul H. Mazumder, Introduction to Engineering, 2018
Computer engineers perform a wide range of duties related to design and development of computer hardware and development of programs to operate the computers. Computer engineering jobs can be categorized in two major areas: hardware engineers and software engineers.
The Making of ‘Ideal’ Electrical and Computer Engineers: A Departmental Document Analysis
Published in Engineering Studies, 2020
Rachel E. Friedensen, Sarah Rodriguez, Erin Doran
Approximately 50 tenured or tenure-track faculty are housed in the ECS department, which offers Bachelor of Science degrees in electrical engineering or computer engineering and maintains a joint degree program in software engineering with the computer science department. There are more than 2000 students majoring in ECS engineering. ISU’s ECS department has received many federally funded, cross-institutional grants that focus on broadening participation in STEM fields at all postsecondary levels. These include a Revolutionizing Engineering and computer science Departments (RED) grant, which funded the present study, and a Scholarship in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (SSTEM) grant. Both of these grants focus on diversity, equity, and departmental change. Thus, ISU is a dynamic location within which we can explore the construction of engineering identity and its intersection with equity issues.

A bachelor of engineering with honours degree (BE(hons)) is a four-year programme at the University of Canterbury. Typical years contain eight courses divided across two semesters. However, some double-weighted courses replace two classes. Students must also complete work experience, workshop training and first aid requirements before graduating. During the analysis period, there were nine programmes that provided BE(hons) degrees at UC: Chemical and Process Engineering,Civil Engineering,Computer Engineering,Electrical and Electronic Engineering,Forestry Engineering,Mechanical Engineering,Mechatronic Engineering,Natural Resource Engineering,Software Engineering.
