Outline of computer engineering

Microprocessors, like the Intel 80486DX2 die shown here, are a central component to many Computer Engineering applications.

Computer engineering (CE) is the design and development of computer systems. It is often considered a hybrid between Electrical Engineering and Computer Science due to the utilization of both hardware and software technologies in the field.

The following outline is provided as an overview of and introduction to computer engineering:
