'Doing' in Computer Engineering

   Since computer engineering is a specific area from engineering, one must act like an engineer as well. This includes constantly looking at something and thinking 'how could I possibly make it better?' Computer engineering isn't entirely based on building computers (though mostly). The field can still apply to building other things. For example, we have a naval boat project for our engineering class. The requirement was to build a boat that could drive on its own, carrying an orange around a pond. The idea was to make us think of different ways to approach this problem. This is currently how our boat looks:

   Another example of engineering applying to other areas happens to be in food. Rob Rhinehart, an engineer, created a drink that holds all the nutrients necessary to live. Basing his formula on the recommendations from the FDA, he mixed different substances through trial and error to achieve this drink. It's pretty impressive because he claims that the cost to create this drink versus the cost to constantly buy food is cut significantly. Pretty useful for college students, especially with money tending to be a tight. Here is a link of the drink 'soylent':
