see Ms Wegner once you have received notification
to register.

23. Feature program: Computer Engineering
As a computer engineer, you’ll deal with the design,
implementation, analysis, and testing of hardware and
software for computing systems. Unlike computer scientists
who deal primarily with software, computer engineers must
have a strong understanding of computers as physical
devices and of the software that drives them. Because of this,
computer engineers can be considered equal parts electrical
engineer and computer scientist.
Graduates of the University of Alberta’s Computer
Engineering program may work in software development,
telecommunications, hardware design, nanotechnology, circuit
and microprocessor design, or a host of other computer-
related careers. Many students also go on to graduate studies
in more specific areas of computer engineering.
