Computer engineers usually worked in research labs that build and test
computer models,
most work
in
high-tech manufacturing.
Computer
engineers held 77,700 jobs in 2014. Most of these jobs were computer
system design and related services, computer and peripheral equipment
manufacturing,
or
semiconductor
and
other
electronic
component
manufacturing.
There
are
currently
77,700
jobs
currently
in
2014.
The
potential/expected growth in the next four years is 3%. This is slower than
average for all occupations. I would be applying for a job like this in around
2024, because I would like to take four or more years of college, the
projected job numbers in 2024 is 80,100 jobs. An increase in hardware
startup firms and the ongoing increase in devices with computer chips
embedded in them, such as household appliances, medical devices, and
automobiles, may lead to some job growth for computer hardware
engineers.
The entry level education to become a computer engineer, is a
bachelors degree in computer engineering. Because the computer engineers
will be working with software a lot, the person will need to be familiar with
computer programming.
The
place that people will be working at Intel is Santa Clara, California. The type
of
work
that
is
done
over
there
is,
conducts
or
participates
in
information
processing
hardware
and/or
electrical
components,
Major employer field is Google. This career takes place in Santa Clara, CA.
The things that will take place on the daily are, as an experienced hardware
engineer at a leading global chipmaker, you will research, design, develop,
and test advanced computer systems and components, processors, circuit
boards, memory devices, networks, and routers.
I will be ready for one of these positions in about 2024, because I want
to take at least 4 years of college after high school. This will shoot me up in
the ladder of positions in this field. If I take four or more years of college, I
will be able to study and learn things in the career faster and easier than if I
dont, so it will only benefit me. Some other things that I could do are taking
a computer class, or a coding class that will help me learn how the software
in computers works, and that will help me get a higher position in my career.
One of the schools I would like to go to is Harvard, because it is right next to
google. Then I can get an internship, then start to work for them. My second
choice of school would be MIT. The things that go on at MIT in computer
engineering are building circuits, studding computer science (systems,
Artificial Intelligences, and theory). If I could not go to Harvard or MIT then I
would like to go to the University of Washington in Seattle. This is because
this school shows students how to build Intel processors, motors, and
programming with different types of software.
The things that I can do in high school that will benefit me will be
staying in CAD/Engineering and also taking a computer class to learn more
about the parts in computers, and how they work. I can also do research at
home on software so that if I cant get into hardware engineering I can fall
back into software engineering. Hardware engineers are making new things
possible every day testing the boundaries of newer hardware. They are
trying to make the processors able to handle the new thing that people are
trying to do today and in the future.
