===Computers=== {{Main|Computer engineering}} [[File:MEGWARE.CLIC.jpg|thumb|right|[[Supercomputer]]s are used in fields as diverse as [[computational biology]] and [[geographic information system]]s.]] Computer engineering deals with the design of computers and [[computer system]]s. This may involve the design of new [[computer hardware|hardware]]. Computer engineers may also work on a system's software. However, the design of complex software systems is often the domain of software engineering, which is usually considered a separate discipline.{{sfn|Jalote|2006|p=22}} [[Desktop computer]]s represent a tiny fraction of the devices a computer engineer might work on, as computer-like architectures are now found in a range of [[embedded device]]s including [[video game console]]s and [[DVD player]]s. Computer engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects of computing.<ref>{{cite book|isbn=0471605018|title=Fundamentals of Computer Engineering: Logic Design and Microprocessors|last1=Lam|first1=Herman|last2=O'Malley|first2=John R.|date=26 April 1988|publisher=Wiley }}</ref> [[Robot]]s are one of the applications of computer engineering.
