What exactly do Computer Hardware Engineers do and what does it take to become one?

Jan 08, 2010 by James | Posted in Other - Computers

Correct me if I'm wrong here. Computer hardware engineers take all the computer components (ie: GPU, CPU, Motherboards) and assemble them, right?

What else do they do? I think I want to become a computer hardware engineer I'm just not

They design and test hardware. Computer also doesn't just mean PCs. Cell phones, GPS, iPod, rice cooker, some washer/dryer, car stero are all products made by hardware engineers.

To become one you will need (minimum) a BS in Computer Science
