Job Aspects
Your scope and work features as a computer engineer include a wide variety of activities linked to the design, development, implementation, and maintenance of computer systems and hardware. Computer engineering is a broad discipline that combines elements of electrical engineering and computer science to develop and improve computing systems. Here are some important features of the job:
- Hardware Design and Development
- Embedded Systems
- Software Development
- Computer Architecture
- Networking
- Robotics and Automation
- Testing and Quality Assurance
- Project Management
- Web Developer
- VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) Design
Salary
There is no fixed salary that a computer engineer gets in Nepal. If you are able to get a government job then you will receive a good salary from the beginning of your career. The section officer level Computer Engineer gets around NPR 45,000 salary in Nepal.
For those thinking about private jobs, right after graduation with Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering degree without any impactful experience, you will get around NPR 30,000 salary. However, the salary will be increased with increasing experience and skills.
