Understanding the Interdisciplinary Nature of Computer Engineering Curriculum

This keynote talk presented by Vishwani D. Agrawal explores the distinct identity of Computer Engineering (CE) as interdisciplinary, differentiating it from Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. It outlines the essential components of a Computer Engineering curriculum, emphasizing the importance of foundational knowledge in physics, mathematics, and applications across various industries such as medicine, manufacturing, and entertainment. The talk advocates for a well-structured curriculum that encompasses both theoretical and practical aspects, ensuring CE's relevance in modern technology.
