Computer engineering is for those interested in building and understanding computer hardware, digital systems, and computer hardware systems. While most people are aware of computers in the form of personal computers and web servers, most electronic devices contain several small computers or microprocessors (try operating your newer vehicle when the "computer" fails).
One current trend in computer engineering is microminiaturization. Using VLSI, engineers continue to work to squeeze greater and greater numbers of circuit elements onto smaller and smaller chips. Another trend is toward increasing the speed of computer operations through use of parallel processors, superconducting materials, and the like.
