Computer Engineering broadly means learning, understanding, and designing different aspects of computing systems (not necessarily, PCs).  The different aspects include the study of different architectures of computers like x86, RISC, CISC, 64-bit, different hardware technologies like PCI, ISA, etc, understanding the different components of a computing system such as the CPU, memory management, file management, Operating Systems, networking, etc., programming and implementing such systems.  As a computer engineer, you would take courses in Operating Systems, computer networking, computer architecture, software programming, etc.

The computer guru at a local shop is a guy who worked for a big company and got tired of the rush to market new products so he quit and set up a shop of his own.\n\nHE  SAYS;\nMac is more stable, harder for hackers to get into. But can be more expensive than IBM pc. Has much better graphics and is easy to use.\n\nIBM Style PC is less expensive and has far more software available.

Computer, machine that performs tasks, such as calculations or electronic communication, under the control of a set of instructions called a program. Programs usually reside within the computer and are retrieved and processed by the computer’s electronics. The program results are stored or routed to output devices, such as video display monitors or printers. Computers perform a wide variety of activities reliably, accurately, and quickly.\n\nPeople use computers in many ways. In business, computers track inventories with bar codes and scanners, check the credit status of customers, and transfer funds electronically. In homes, tiny computers embedded in the electronic circuitry of most appliances control the indoor temperature, operate home security systems, tell the time, and turn videocassette recorders (VCRs) on and off. Computers in automobiles regulate the flow of fuel, thereby increasing gas mileage, and are used in anti-theft systems. Computers also entertain, creating digitized sound on stereo systems or computer-animated features from a digitally encoded laser disc. Computer programs, or applications, exist to aid every level of education, from programs that teach simple addition or sentence construction to programs that teach advanced calculus. Educators use computers to track grades and communicate with students; with computer-controlled projection units, they can add graphics, sound, and animation to their communications (see Computer-Aided Instruction). Computers are used extensively in scientific research to solve mathematical problems, investigate complicated data, or model systems that are too costly or impractical to build, such as testing the air flow around the next generation of aircraft. The military employs computers in sophisticated communications to encode and unscramble messages, and to keep track of personnel and supplies.\n\nThe physical computer and its components are known as hardware. Computer hardware includes the memory that stores data and program instructions; the central processing unit (CPU) that carries out program instructions; the input devices, such as a keyboard or mouse, that allow the user to communicate with the computer; the output devices, such as printers and video display monitors, that enable the computer to present information to the user; and buses (hardware lines or wires) that connect these and other computer components. The programs that run the computer are called software. Software generally is designed to perform a particular type of task—for example, to control the arm of a robot to weld a car’s body, to write a letter, to display and modify a photograph, or to direct the general operation of the computer.\n\nWhen a computer is turned on it searches for instructions in its memory. These instructions tell the computer how to start up. Usually, one of the first sets of these instructions is a special program called the operating system, which is the software that makes the computer work. It prompts the user (or other machines) for input and commands, reports the results of these commands and other operations, stores and manages data, and controls the sequence of the software and hardware actions. When the user requests that a program run, the operating system loads the program in the computer’s memory and runs the program. Popular operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows and the Macintosh system (Mac OS), have graphical user interfaces (GUIs)—that use tiny pictures, or icons, to represent various files and commands. To access these files or commands, the user clicks the mouse on the icon or presses a combination of keys on the keyboard. Some operating systems allow the user to carry out these tasks via voice, touch, or other input methods.\n\nTo process information electronically, data are stored in a computer in the form of binary digits, or bits, each having two possible representations (0 or 1). If a second bit is added to a single bit of information, the

I think a certain amount of basic computer awareness and skill is a necessity in today's professional job market. Specialized knowledge should only be needed for specialized positions, however, everyone should have a basic grasp of how email works, how to find information on the Internet, and how to use Windows for daily work.

Lots of programming experience across a wide range of languages (such as understanding Machine Code, programming some Assembler, and proficiency in C++, Pascal, Visual Basic to name a few)\n\nStrong analytical skills, procedural skills, logic flow. \n\nBeing able to look at raw data and then parse it in your head, that is: make sense out of what appears non-sensical. Thus decoding/cryptic skills.\n\nYou will also need strong mathematical skills, and understanding exactly how a computer works (on the inside) will also help tremendously.\n\nThese will all contribute significantly to being a software analysis, as well as meeting the needs of the particular task at hand.

If you are talking about production of an employee. I think computer skills and proper training and or skills to do the job they were hired to do. Companies assume you have computer skills but the company also forgets to properly train, provide the right tools or find out if the person has the proper skills to do the job.

Fundamentals of computer science says that every thing that goes into computer is raw data, something like daily temperature records, population cencus etc and processing is done on that data,  ergo! you have information with you, that may be in the form of diagrams i.e similar to cricket worms, score cards shown on tv. Or it can be either statistical predictions of weather patterns......or population distribution charts based or gender, age, education etc.\n\nThere is real world examples, like banks, railways  that make use of computer processed information, and show it as and when needed.

Understanding computers and related systems. It includes a working vocabulary of computer and information system components, the fundamental principles of computer processing and a perspective for how non-technical people interact with technical people. The term has been attributed to Andrew Molnar in the early 1970s. He was director of the Office of Computing Activities at the National Science Foundation.\n\nNot the Electronics\nComputer literacy does not deal with how the computer works (digital circuits), but does imply knowledge of how the computer does its work (calculate, compare and copy). It requires a conceptual understanding of systems analysis & design, application programming, systems programming and datacenter operations. It also implies hands-on ability to work the operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux) and common applications such as spreadsheets, word processors, database programs, personal information managers (PIMs), e-mail programs and Web browsers.\n\nInformation Requirements Is a Key\n\nTo be a computer literate manager, you must be able to define information requirements effectively and have an understanding of decision support tools, such as query languages, report writers, spreadsheets and financial planning systems. To be truly computer literate, you must understand all the entries under "standards" in this Encyclopedia, and that is a sure cure for insomnia!
