Computer engineering an engineering field that incorporates development and improvement of software programs as well as hardware that enables computers to function. However, it includes both software and hardware engineering. It ranges from the operating system soft wares, like Ubuntu, Windows, Linux, and Mac to individual programs, like Adobe Photoshop, adobe premium pro, Microsoft Office among others. The work of Software Engineers is to turn piles of hardware to finished fully functional computers. They develop the computer hardware such as motherboards, processors, graphics cards as well as drives which are later programmed for full computer operations. This is the most vital engineering field for today's American society. Its importance in today’s American society is discussed below?
It has enabled America to become a global village. People within America find it easier to communicate with each other irrespective of geographical distance. This has been made possible with the production of smartphones and computers as well as the internet according to (Siciliano et al., 2016). The worldwide interconnection of computers has made it possible for America to communicate with the rest of the world virtually through portals, emails, blogs,

The bandwidth at which news and information travels via the internet have tremendously increased with the technological improvements in computer engineering. Bigger wires have been manufactured that can transmit high volumes of data in the shortest time possible. Wireless network technology has also facilitated easy information transfer between Americans and between America and other countries. This easy access to news and information has kept America up to date with the issues going on all over the world with the help of their satellite technology. This has given them the required control over the world which they have effectively consolidated with the help of the acquired
