Do computer engineers need to know assembly?
There is usually a need for a small amount of Assembly language. But this is usually written once, early in the life of the system, and shared across many different instances. An example is the RTOS – Real Time Operating System.
What program do most software engineers use?
The programming languages most often used are C, C++, Java, and Python. Some software engineers develop packaged computer applications, but most create or adapt customized applications for business and other organizations. Some of these workers also develop databases.
Where are motherboards manufactured?
Motherboard production has been in China and Taiwan until recently, when they moved out of China to alleviate spying concerns. They transferred the manufacturing processes conducted there to facilities in Taiwan and San Jose.
