Computer Hardware Engineer Knowledge Base
What is the average day for a computer hardware engineer? I'm 17 and have been thinking of becoming a computer hardware engineer (electrical engineer more generally). I've been in a class focusing on the profession for a semester now and was wondering what exactly a computer hardware engineer does on most days. Is it mostly paper work? Is it more designing circuits or testing/simplifying? Is it hands on most days or computer software related? I'm looking more of what an intro engineer does (first 5 years or so) rather than management. Thanks so much.
What should I take for the Computer Hardware Engineer in High School ? I wanna be Computer Hardware Engineer in the furture.

What are the Job responsibilities of a person as a Computer Hardware/System Engineer ? all that i want to know is that what are the job responsibiliest of computer hardware engineers who are employed to maintain the systems of a company.If suppose a Motherboard,harddisk,SMPS,etc fails to fucntion,then does the engineer have to repair it manually in the company or does he has to get it repair from somewhere outside.And if he has to get it repair from outside then it can be done by any person.Then what is the job of the engineer only to get it repair from outside?
Does a Computer Hardware Engineer need to understand C++? I know that to become an software engineer you need to have a full understanding of programming, but is it necessary for a hardware engineer to FULLY understand programming. I know that hardware engineers focus on creating smaller and faster hardware, but I'm not sure if they even make use of programming. I'm currently majoring in computer engineering, but I want to focus more on the hardware track and I'm curious to know whether or not they really use it because I find it difficult and boring to program. Thanks in advance!

Which should I go for - Computer Science or Computer Hardware Engineer? I really don't know which to choose. I really like Computer Science and loved the class in high school, although I heard that Computer Hardware Engineers make much more money, and I feel like that is also fun. I forgot to take Chemistry but I can still exchange it for my second semester in February (computer engineer requires a grade 12 chemistry course), but if computer science is better, then I'll just go with what I have. So, from the people with experience, which career is better and which pays more (an estimate for both careers would be nice) * I live in Ontario, if that helps.
