What is computer systems engineering?

Review of the subject

Information systems now permeate almost every aspect of our world. Computers are hidden in a large number of electromechanical environments and this ubiquity should only increase. This specialization is especially known for robotics, autonomous vehicles, medical devices, industrial automation systems and intelligent technologies. Their professionals are diverse, with insights in areas ranging from bioengineering to software development.

This specialization is offered by our Electrical, computer systems engineering and Software Engineering department, which encourages industry partnerships at all levels of study so that students and graduates benefit from contributing to a wide range of global sectors. The department is also strongly associated with world-class experts and facilities, including the Automation and Robotics Engineering Center and the Integrated Systems Research Group.

Computer system engineers solve problems by creating systems with a computer embedded in a large operation. Thanks to their knowledge of hardware and software, they ensure that these products can make decisions and work in the real world. The graduates therefore have practical skills that are not compatible with current technological trends, but with future-oriented knowledge that ensures that they are at the forefront of changes in the industry.

Where can Computer Systems Engineering lead you?

Computer system engineers are unique in that they understand the principles behind computer hardware and embedded system technology, as well as the software that makes them "intelligent." This means that the possibilities are as great as the rapidly growing industrial sectors, which are dominated by innovative design and product development. The growing importance of interconnected objects - the Internet of Things - also suggests a stronger demand for competent computer system engineers with in-depth knowledge. Our graduates typically work for international computer companies, consulting firms, telecommunications agencies, or in research and development teams that deal with new intelligent systems, production, and resource planning.
