Some employers prefer candidates who have a degree from an ABET(Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) ABET is the accrediting board for programs in applied technology and engineering. Whichever program you choose, you'll want to make sure it's grounded in math, science and computer programming. Some computer engineers further their education with a master's degree in a computer science field or business administration.
• Technical skills are essential for your success as a computer engineer, but since you'll be working closely with both technical and nontechnical people, you'll also want to enhance your communication and teamwork skills.
