Much of the technologies we use today have software and hardware components that interact <\/span>with each other. Wireless and noise-canceling headphones, \u201csmart\u201d watches, and vehicles with <\/span>an onboard computer and multimedia are just a few examples. All these \u201ccomputer electronic <\/span>systems\u201d are developed by teams of Computer Engineering professionals. The course trains, <\/span>since 1998, qualified professionals to plan, design, develop, implement and manage computer<\/span> electronic systems in their most varied possibilities: from electronic equipment in general, <\/span>communication and telecommunications systems, secure transmission of information with<\/span> encryption or even, control systems of a group of collaborative robots.<\/span><\/p>\n

The student who graduated from the course is qualified to handle tasks in areas where <\/span>knowledge of electronics and computing are essential and complementary. Throughout the <\/span>course, the student forms an excellent theoretical foundation in mathematics, physics, and the<\/span> fundamentals of computer and electrical engineering. The course presents a comprehensive <\/span>view of several subareas of the latter two, encompassing computer organization and<\/span> architecture, circuits, electronics, microprocessors, energy conversion, microelectronics, <\/span>instrumentation, and process control,\u00a0 in addition to logic, programming, operating systems, <\/span>computer networks, distributed systems, compilers, software engineering, artificial intelligence, <\/span>computer graphics, image\u00a0 processing, and robotics, among others. It is not necessary to know <\/span>computing before entering the course – everything is seen from the beginning – although <\/span>familiarity with computers helps. Note\u00a0 that this is not just a course on using systems, you will <\/span>learn to build systems that have software-hardware integration. <\/span><\/p>\n

The current market is broad and there is a high demand for good\u00a0 professionals. It encompasses <\/span>industries where computer electronic systems are present, including public and private <\/span>institutions, research centers, and graduate studies. Several of our graduates\u00a0 work in large <\/span>technology companies, such as ARM, BMW, Intel, Mercedes Benz, NVIDIA, and Siemens, <\/span>among others. You can also develop your own company as a technology entrepreneur.<\/span><\/p>\n
