About Engineering Associations
[edit]Are there any open enough engineering associations? Puppet reel (talk) 04:32, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
Subfield?
[edit]Is this a subfield of a general electronic control systems? Is the same or part of an electronic system design? Any ideas or sources? >AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 09:27, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Not that I've seen it used. A more stereotypical Computer Engineering role would be a processor designer. Either Computer or Electrical engineers might find themselves working control systems. Bakkster Man (talk) 16:05, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Re: "Skills needed" section
[edit]Newbie editor here writing in regard to the "skills needed" section — I've cross-referenced other Wikipedia articles and haven't seen anything similar to it (not inherently a good reason), but after rewriting it it seems somewhat[?] redundant in my opinion.
Looking to learn, thanks. Smeegent (talk) 15:24, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Smeegent I agree this doesn't make much sense. The source cited also seems questionable. Jantokiilo (talk) 01:19, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Definition of computer engineering in the lead
[edit]I just noticed the brief edit war between @AvatarRr888: and @Remsense:. Maybe I'm missing a subtlety, but I think the primary issue regards whether computer science is part of computer engineering or not. The existing second sentence already seems to say that it is, but without a reference. I noticed that the first sentence does have a reference, though, and the quote from that reference seems to establish the point: "Computer System engineering has traditionally been viewed as a combination of both electronic engineering (EE) and computer science (CS)." Thus, it seemed a bit heavy-handed to revert the change three times for not having a source, when a great source was already there on that sentence.
Personally, I don't see CS as part of computer engineering. I feel like CS is SW and computer engineering is HW. The old definition worked for me, but apparently the industry feels differently.
I also noticed that the recent edit included the addition of CE as an abbreviation for Computer Engineering, and this was reverted. CE is the only abbreviation I've ever heard for Computer Engineering. I've never heard CoE or CpE. I just found the 2016 update to the 2004 joint report from IEEE and ACM. It's very explicit about CE being the abbreviation: "The field of computer engineering (CE) has developed, matured, and expanded throughout industry." And the abbreviation is used hundreds of times in the document. So I hope you won't mind, but I'm going to add this abbreviation to the lead. If either of you do mind, I'm happy to discuss it here until we get a consensus. Davemc0 (talk) 20:20, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
