Computer Engineering (CPEG) is the heart of the information age. It focuses on the analysis, design, implementation, and utilization of computer systems, from embedded microprocessors, notebook/desktop computers to supercomputers, as well as how they are integrated with other systems to meet the challenges of real-world applications.

CPEG is a practical field that bridges the gap between computer science and electronic engineering, and is the link between software and hardware. The emphasis of computer engineering is placed on deep understanding of both hardware and software and their cross-interaction in order to design cutting-edge and advanced electronic and computer systems.



For example, the Octopus card we use every day is a piece of hardware and the computer program that reads the data stored in the card is a piece of software. It is essential that both hardware and software must work together and interact smoothly so as to ensure the functionality and reliability of the overall system.

Understanding how software run on a computer or on a general-purpose processor is very important because you can optimize and improve the performance of your system. In today’s electronic devices, we are not only concerned about functionality but also performance (power constraints). For example, we need to optimize power because of portability and limited battery life.
