Computer Engineering

Computer Engineerin is a discipline that deals with the design, development, and manufacturing of computer systems, both hardware and software. The term Computer Engineering is sometimes used in a narrower sense, considering Computer Engineering as a discipline related to Electrical Engineering, and then refers to the design, development and manufacture of hardware only. The concept Software Engineering highlights the software aspects. A computer engineer, in addition to mastering as the computer scientist, applies methods of design and development of computer systems (hardware and software), has a basic training in technology and in-depth knowledge of the structure of computers, their interfaces and networking. Areas of specialization in computer engineering include: Computer Architecture and Semiconductors, Industrial Computing and Digital Control, Networking and Telematics, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence.

Electromechanical Engineering

The electromechanical engineer offers a multi-skill gathering different qualities. This state of poly-competence widens further its field of professional opportunity, it can thus exert in the fields of the production in the industry, the commercial, the offices of study, the Research and development, the management of the resources human resources, the public service and education.
