, but I'll try and give you the jist of it. It depends on your universities definition of Computer Engineer (which is usually a bridge between Electrical Engineers and Computer Science Majors) but normally Electrical Engineering focuses on the physical working and design of chips and electronics. Even so, chip design is very complicated and modern chips are designed by several people rather than just one person. Some people specialize in defining the ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) for low level assembly programming. The ISA has a direct effect on the Instruction Decoders, if there are any, FP unit (if there is one) Integer Unit, and so on. Also you have to consider a chips role (ie GPU, CPU, Decoder, DSP, etc.), thermal characteristics, and cost constraints.
? Either way, thank you so much for your info so far.
