| quote = Computer System engineering has traditionally been viewed as a combination of both electronic engineering (EE) and computer science (CS).

}}</ref> Computer engineers usually have training in [[electronic engineering]] (or [[electrical engineering]]), [[software design]], and hardware-softwarehardware–software integration instead of only [[software engineering]] or electronic engineering. Computer engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects of computing, from the design of individual [[microcontroller]]s, [[microprocessor]]s, [[personal computer]]s, and [[supercomputer]]s, to [[circuit design]]. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work, but also how they integrate into the larger picture.<ref>{{Cite web
