There are variety of options available to you after getting a degree in Computer Engineering. If you don't want to work in core technologies and coding profiles, you can still choose from the below mentioned options:

IT Sector:It's important to understand that IT and Computer Engineering are not the same. In case you are not interested in coding profiles, you can still work for IT companies where you will mostly be working with tools and not programming. The profiles are either called as Business Technology Analyst or Software Engineer/Analyst.

Analytics:Many analytics companies prefer computer science background students for the role of an Analyst as they have good understanding of maths and are good at puzzle solving.


Public Sector Jobs:As a Computer Science Engineer, you will have the option to go for public sector jobs. Apparently there won't be much programming work required. Most of the times it's the administerial roles that you have to take care of.

Other Job options:There is no limit on the various kinds of job roles that you can get in to. The important task will be to figuring out where your interest lies. Once you identify that, you can take up that role.

Higher Education:You can either look for a Master degree in your subject of interest or you can go for a more generalized degree like MBA to develop your business and leadership skills. I would suggest you to get some work experience if you are looking for an MBA.

Dear Sir/Madam,


Greeting's for the day!!!

Cmputer engineers are responsible for designing, developing, implementing and testing computer based hardware and software, including the components that are found inside computer equipment, as well as actual devices that contains the computers and the software that runs on those machines. They may also design network that connects computer systems, and work on integrating software programs ith computer hardware.

Education Requirements:
To become Computer Engineer, you will typically require a bachelor of science degree in computer engineering, computer science or electrical engineering.

Responsibilities or Required Technical Skiils:
Since the Computer Engineering field is quite broad, the required technical skills listedin the job postings you may come acroos will vary, depending on whether the job is more hardware of software focused, and which industry the employer belongs to. Typically, you will need to have the followings:

1. An understanding of particular computer hardware architecture you will be working with
2. Expeience designing, coding and testing software.
3. Familiarity with Software test procedures or scripts
4. Experience building your own PC system.
5. Understanding of different Operating Systems, including Windows, Linux and how certain types of software will work with them.
6. Experience with the device drivers
7. Understanding Networking and security
8. Understanding of the (sometimes specialized) software that is typically used in particular industry.
9. Knowledge of programming languages such as C, C++, Java and other Object-Oriented languages.

Computer Engineers usually use computer-assisted software engineering, or CASE, tools to automate the process. They also test, debug and update programs.

Other Crucial Skills:
Since Computer Engineers work closely with programmers, designers, product developers and testers, they really need to have strong interpersonal and communication skills, as well as the ability to work in a team.

Fields employing Computer Engineers:
Computer Engineers are likely to find work in variety of fields, including (but not limited to):
1. Telecommunications
2. Manufacturing
3. Transportation
4. Product Developement.

Here are some interesting "Niche" areas of Computer Engineering:
1. Working with Radar and Communications Technology
2. Supporting high performance and embedded computing systems for nuclear medicines.
3. Military Software Support
4. Designing new Motors and Sensors for Robotics Equipment.

Further doubts or queries feel free to contact.
