Computer Engineering would also probably suit that description.
"Computer engineering is a broad-based field, incorporating concepts
from both electrical engineering and computer science, focusing on the
architecture, programming, and application of digital computers. The
program addresses the concepts and methodologies needed for the
design, analysis, interfacing, and utilization of hardware and
software digital systems. Possible careers in computer engineering
reflect the diversity of the program, ranging from custom VLSI circuit
design to the development of operating systems for disk controllers. A
common theme is the importance of understanding the hardware and
software subsystems and their interaction. Specific courses to be
taken for the master's degree are not prescribed by the faculty. Each
student, with the assistance of the major professor and the
supervisory committee, designs a study plan to achieve the student's
degree objectives. "
