Published Categorized as Technology

There are several areas of Computer Engineering in which it is possible to act after graduating here with us at Unopar. Find out more about each one!

Hardware manufacturing
The Computer Engineering course has subjects in its curriculum focused on electronics and hardware manufacturing. This is the most traditional performance of the profession. In this market, the engineer will design and build equipment , whether computational or peripheral, such as keyboards, mice, etc.

This market is updating at a fast pace, so there are always job opportunities. On the other hand, to remain active, the professional needs to be up to date and know how to connect the built components to the data processing units.

Industrial Automation and Robotics
The role of the computer engineer in the industry is linked to the functioning of machines and the automation of these processes. This activity is essential to maintain the factory’s productivity rhythm, which is why the figure of the professional is highly valued. It is he who designs the equipment for the system and interacts with the software .

The same happens with robotics – the engineer designs the parts and links these equipment with the software so that the robots work as expected, whether in industry or in other sectors.

Software development
Software development is not always the focus at the Faculty of Computer Engineering , but, as this technology area is on the rise, many professionals end up following this path. The computer engineer, in fact, has a great advantage over other professionals in the field, since he leaves college with a good knowledge of electronics , which is not common in other courses.

The software development can be done for computers, applications and games. These last two are a big trend and require that the professional is always up to date.
