Information Technology is a discipline that combines both Electronics Engineering and Information Technology. Information Technology engineers usually have training in electronics engineering, software design and hardware-software integration instead of only software engineering or electronics engineering.
Information Technology engineers are involved in many aspects of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work, but also how they integrate into the larger picture. Usual tasks involving computer engineers include writing software and firmware for embedded microcontrollers, designing VLSI chips, designing analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing operating systems.
