What does a Computer Engineer do??

Question

I seriously do not know what to expect from this profession. What is the hardest class i will ever have to take? What's the main purpose or duty of a computer engineer?

ps. i'm a pretty good student. i'm a bio major right now but i really want to shift. i'm not that good in math but i'm not bad either

Answer 1

I've always figured that a computer engineer would deal with the intricacies of /how/ the computer works and how to work with it on a hardware level instead of working with programs and so on--it makes sense to me, anyway.

Answer 2

Actually a computer engineer is just a fancy label for a computer programmer.  Generally, you will see a computer engineer with a masters degree.  C++ is the most commonly used programming language.  You do not need to be good at math to do it unless you are going for a degree.
