The qualifications that you need to start a career in computer hardware depend on your career plans and potential job responsibilities. A hardware designer or engineer may want to pursue a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, computer science, or electrical engineering. To become a computer hardware technician, you may need a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, but most employers accept an associate’s degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or information technology. You may wish to earn an associate degree in computer repair to learn repair skills for both hardware and software.
