  1. Computer Engineeringat theUniversity of Houston

  2. What is Engineering Anyway??? “Engineering is technical problem solving, especially those problems that have not been solved before.”

  3. Engineering is problem solving using technical means, for problems not solved before.

  4. Engineering, Technology, and Science • Engineering - Solving Problems Not Solved Before • Technology - Solving Problems That Have Been Solved Before • Science – Gaining Knowledge

  5. The Confusion Engineering & Technology vs Science Confusion exists, since • Engineers & Technologists gain knowledge to solve problems • Scientists solve problems to gain knowledge

  6. What is Engineering Again??? Designing and Building Things!

  7. What is Computer Engineering?? • Building Computers • Building Computer-Based Systems • Designing Software Systems Computer Engineering is Hardware and Software

  8. Computer Engineers Build Computers...

  9. INPUTS COMPUTER OUTPUTS Computer Engineers Build Computer-Based Systems Computers are in many things. Computer Engineers put them there.

  10. Computer Engineers Build Computer-Based Systems Computers are in many things. Computer Engineers put them there.
