<p>Computer engineering began in 1939 when <a href="John_Vincent_Atanasoff" title="John Vincent Atanasoff">John Vincent Atanasoff</a> and <a href="Clifford_Berry" title="Clifford Berry">Clifford Berry</a> began developing the world's first electronic <a href="Digital_computer" class="mw-redirect" title="Digital computer">digital computer</a> through <a href="Physics" title="Physics">physics</a>, <a href="Mathematics" title="Mathematics">mathematics</a>, and <a href="Electrical_engineering" title="Electrical engineering">electrical engineering</a>. John Vincent Atanasoff was once a physics and mathematics teacher for <a href="Iowa_State_University" title="Iowa State University">Iowa State University</a> and Clifford Berry a former graduate under electrical engineering and physics.

While the original ABC was dismantled and discarded in the 1940s, a tribute was made to the late inventors; a replica of the ABC was made in 1997, where it took a team of researchers and engineers four years and $350,000 to build.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

Due to increasing job requirements for engineers who can concurrently design hardware, <a href="Software" title="Software">software</a>, firmware, and manage all forms of computer systems used in industry, some tertiary institutions around the world offer a <a href="Bachelor's_degree" title="Bachelor's degree">bachelor's degree</a> generally called computer engineering.

</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Education">Education</h2></div>
<p>Computer engineering is referred to as <a href="Computer_science_and_engineering" title="Computer science and engineering">computer science and engineering</a> at some universities. Most entry-level computer engineering jobs require at least a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering or computer science. Typically one must learn an array of <a href="Mathematics" title="Mathematics">mathematics</a> such as <a href="Calculus" title="Calculus">calculus</a>, <a href="Linear_algebra" title="Linear algebra">linear algebra</a> and <a href="Differential_equation" title="Differential equation">differential equations</a>, along with <a href="Computer_science" title="Computer science">computer science</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Degrees in <a href="Electronic_engineering" title="Electronic engineering">electronic</a> or <a href="Electrical_engineering" title="Electrical engineering">electric engineering</a> also suffice due to the similarity of the two fields. Because hardware engineers commonly work with computer software systems, a strong background in computer programming is necessary. According to BLS, "<i>a computer engineering major is similar to electrical engineering but with some computer science courses added to the curriculum</i>".<sup id="cite_ref-CHE_23-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CHE-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some large firms or specialized jobs require a master's degree.
</p><p>It is also important for computer engineers to keep up with rapid advances in <a href="Technology" title="Technology">technology</a>. Therefore, many continue learning throughout their careers. This can be helpful, especially when it comes to learning new skills or improving existing ones. For example, as the relative cost of fixing a <a href="Bug_(programming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bug (programming)">bug</a> increases the further along it is in the software development cycle, there can be greater cost savings attributed to developing and testing for quality code as soon as possible in the process, particularly before release.<sup id="cite_ref-The_cost_of_fixing_a_bug_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_cost_of_fixing_a_bug-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
