As a computer engineer you need to be able to analyze information to determine software and hardware needs, design or update software using scientific analysis, and mathematical equations. Working conditions are very bearable because work is always indoors but you do have to sit for land periods of time. Hours are up to 40 hours per week but I would have to work weekends to meet deadlines or solve a problem for a client. The reason I chose this career is because technology is increasing every day, and there is more of a demand for computer engineers.

Identify problems and review information positively persuade others to approach things differently and get the job done and not be distracted while doing so. "since the computer engineering field is quite broad, the required technical skills listed in the job postings you come across will vary, depending on whether the job is more hardware or software focused, and which industry the employer belongs to" (About).
