CompE abbreviation
editCompE is a common abbreviation for computer engineering. I think it’s worth adding Retr0r0cketVersion2 (talk) 03:33, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
- If nobody is objecting, I’ll add it in a week Retr0r0cketVersion2 (talk) 20:22, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
Removal of Professions Subsection
editThe Professions Subsection is arguably mislabeled (it’s about certifications), but those certifications are also generally irrelevant. Fields involving certifications in CpE are extremely rare (emphasis is placed on education level and experience instead of certifications) and do not have any form of standardization which that subsection states.
TL;DR it’s mislabeled, but even then what it states is extremely rare and non-standard because it doesn’t align with employment in the field Retr0r0cketVersion2 (talk) 20:45, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
- Does nobody have any objections to this? Retr0r0cket (talk) 02:03, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
Benefits of Engineering in Society Section
editI read the “ Benefits of Engineering in Society” section and it seems to be a bunch of techno fluff filler that doesn’t add anything much and should be in another page like Engineering in Society Septagram (talk) 04:29, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
- Completely in agreement with you. There is almost nothing there pertaining to computer engineering and regardless as it’s not about the benefits of computer engineering, it doesn’t make sense to even have in the article Retr0r0cketVersion2 (talk) 20:10, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Remove Computational Science/Engineering from specialty areas
editComputational science and engineering does not involve computer hardware directly, nor does it involve any hardware-facing software or even systems software at all. Instead, it's about the application of computation to solve mathematical problems. I'm going to remove it if nobody objects Retr0r0cket (talk) 21:57, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Infobox is abnormally redundant & CoE abbreviation
editThe activity sectors and competency fields have their information located mostly in the article lead. I’m not sure it makes sense to include the information again right next to it. Mechanical engineering is a great example of how removing the infobox would quite well here. Any updates to the lead would probably exacerbate this.
Also while we’re at it, does anyone know any company or institution that actually uses CoE as an abbreviation for computer engineering? Retr0r0cket (talk) 17:39, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
