Computer Engineering interests me because it connects software with the physical systems that people use every day. I like that it is not limited to only writing code or only understanding hardware, but combines both sides to build practical and reliable technology. Through my coursework and projects, I have become especially interested in embedded systems, software development, and how hardware and software interact. I enjoy the process of breaking down a problem, designing a system, testing it, and improving it step by step. Even when the process is difficult, I find it rewarding because I can see how abstract concepts such as circuits, data structures, and computer organization become real working systems.
