Computer Engineer

Can you imagine a life without computers? We rely on computers in almost every aspect of our lives. From our alarms in the morning, the traffic lights on our way to work or school, our home security systems and the calculator you use to do your taxes are all run by computers. Since computers are essential to our lifestyles, having computer engineers around is very important. Engineers simply design a product or process, then make it work. Computer engineers simply design computer programs or hardware, then make it work. Computer engineering is also one of the fastest growing industries in the world, meaning computer engineers are not finding it a hard time looking for a job. Being an engineer, especially a computer engineer, is a lot of hard work. To just get into a computer engineering program you'll need high grades, a lot of money, and willing to work your arse off for 4-5 years in university. To be an engineer, your expected to have mid-high 80's in school, and have exceptional math and science skills. The average tuition for an engineer is about $10,000, but your schooling is not finished after university. In order to get a pENG, the official engineering degree, you are looking at another 2 years in the engineering workplace gaining real experience. This may seem intimidating, but some of the world's most successful people were computer engineers, and Bill Gates was actually one of the first computer engineers in the world.
