There are multiple points in that thread about what CPE is, the kind of work, and the jobs.

As to opinion, its a good (possibly one of the best) degree for embedded systems and anything involving digital hardware design. It allows you to branch to hardware, software, or both

What are embedded systems ?
I don't think that a computer engineering degree gives the possibility to be a hardware design, that is something for electronic engineers

1. What is the difference between computer engineering and computer science?

Computer engineering focuses on the design and development of computer hardware and software systems, while computer science focuses on the theoretical and mathematical foundations of computing. In other words, computer engineering is more hardware-oriented, while computer science is more software-oriented.

2. What skills are required to be a computer engineer?

Computer engineering requires a combination of technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and creativity. Some essential skills for computer engineers include proficiency in programming languages, strong analytical and critical thinking skills, and the ability to work with complex systems.

3. What career opportunities are available for computer engineers?

Computer engineers have a wide range of career opportunities, including roles in software development, hardware design, network engineering, systems analysis, and more. They can work in various industries, including technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and finance.

4. How does computer engineering contribute to society?

Computer engineering plays a crucial role in advancing technology and shaping our modern world. It enables the development of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, and improves existing systems, making them more efficient and accessible. Additionally, computer engineers help solve real-world problems and improve people's lives through innovative solutions.

5. What are some emerging trends in computer engineering?

Some emerging trends in computer engineering include the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. These technologies are rapidly evolving and have the potential to transform industries and improve the way we live and work.
