Computer engineering

Read the following text and fill in the gaps. Use the words given in boxes:

Computer Engineering (also called Electronic and Computer Engineering, or Computer Systems Engineering) is a (1) __________ that combines both Electronic (2) __________ and (3) __________ Science. The abbreviation is EECS. Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering, software design and hardware-software integration instead of only software engineering or electronic engineering. Computer (4) __________ are involved in many aspects of computing, from the (5) __________ of individual microprocessors, (6) __________ computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This field of engineering not only (7) __________ on how computer systems work themselves, but also how they integrate into the larger picture.

Usual tasks involving computer engineers (8) __________ writing software and firmware for embedded microcontrollers, designing VLSI chips, (9) __________ analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing operating systems. Computer (10) __________ are also suited for robotics research, which relies heavily on using (11) __________ systems to control or (12) __________ electrical systems like motors, communications, and sensors.

Electrical engineering (sometimes referred to as electrical and electronic engineering) is a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of (13) __________, electronics and (14) __________. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late (15) __________ century after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical (16) __________ supply. It now (17) __________ a range of subtopics including power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications.

Electrical (18) __________ may or may not include electronic engineering. A distinction is made usually outside of the United States. Electrical engineering is considered to deal with the problems associated with large-scale electrical systems such as power transmission and motor control, whereas electronic engineering deals with the study of (19) __________ -scale electronic systems including (20) __________ and integrated circuits. Alternatively, electrical engineers are usually concerned with using (21) __________ to transmit energy, while electronic engineers are concerned with using electricity to transmit (22)__________.
