Introduction
Todays century is the Age of
Information and technology plays
a critical part in determining thegolden times of the era.
Computers were created to ease
life, to color it at the least.

education is not realizing
the importance of
Aesthetics in the curriculum,
especially the course ofEngineering.

Aesthetics
Aesthetics is the theory of the
perceptibility, appreciation,
responsiveness, and enjoymentof the beautiful in art and nature(Cometa, Aquino and Santillana, n.d.).

Aesthetics
Welsch (2003) summarized in his
paper that aesthetics is
considered as artistics, as anexplication of art with particular
attention to beauty.

Aesthetics
It is the judgment of taste to cast
out what is beautiful.

Aesthetics in Engineering
It is only important that the researchers
determine the significance of Aesthetics in the
field of engineering as a whole so as to
determine the extents of Aesthetics in the sub-fields of engineering. As stated:
Engineering involvement with aesthetics is vital
for the creation of innovative and successful
products in todays fast changing world.
(Faste, 1995)

Aesthetics in Engineering
With todays world bringing innovations
that would not just suffice human
needs but also their taste, it is justimportant to consider Aesthetics in
the field of Engineering.

Computer Engineering
TryEngineering (n.d.) has specified the
tasks accomplished by a computer
engineer. It stated that computerengineers analyze and evaluate
computer systems, both hardware
and software.

Computer Engineering
Researchers have deducted that
Computer Engineering is divided into
three major fields: HardwareEngineering, Software Engineering
and Hardware-Software Integration.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
14/37
Hardware Engineering
Hardware engineering tackles the
design and functionality of the
hardware devices and how they willbe properly built to be able to perform
functions connected to software
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation

Hardware Engineering and
Aesthetics
The job of the computer engineers is to
ensure that their products are well-
defined with their features. Designcomplements that of aesthetic value
of a product for this is what affects
the taste of a human being.

Software Engineering
Software engineering
concerns itself to the
programming of a system.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
17/37
Software Engineering and
Aesthetics
As discussed in the design of hardware
engineering, humans will tend to use
programs that will be elegant in theirgraphic user interface. It is already a
norm in the human mind to utilize
things that are perceived to bebeautiful in their own tastes.

Hardware-Software Integration
Hardware-software integration is
the proper connection of the
hardware and the software.

Company Profile
The interviewee of the researchers for
the conduct of the case study is Engr.
Mario Andal, Systems Administratorof the Information Technology Center
(ITC) of the University of Batangas.

Role of Aesthetics in Computer
Engineering
Computer engineering, as defined by the
interviewee, is the combination of computer
science and electrical engineering, both are
needed to create software and hardware.Computer Engineering is involved from
designing Microprocessors to circuit design.
This field of engineering not only focuses on
how computer systems themselves work, butalso how they integrate into the larger picture.

Role of Aesthetics in Computer
Engineering
Aesthetics is really important in any software or
hardware products, because the user will
enjoy doing his work or job just by looking at
the thing he/she is using, [utilizing] beauty [forsatisfaction].
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
22/37
Role of Aesthetics in Computer
Engineering
Developing software [or] programs
must be eye-catching.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation

Role of Aesthetics in Computer
Engineering
We choose the vendor that has
products with high standards and
high quality.

Role of Aesthetics in Computer
Engineering
It (Aesthetics) is important [for] us
Computer Engineers. It makes
our life colorful, [and it allows usto do] what [is] best, and that is
computer engineering.

Synthesis
Computer engineering has been defined as an
analysis of computer systems both hardware
and software. While the interviewee related
the field with Computer Science and ElectricalEngineering, it can be deemed that computer
engineering covers hardware, as the concern
of Electrical Engineering, and software, as the
concern of Computer Science.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
26/37
Synthesis
It was earlier defined that Aesthetics is the
philosophy of art and beauty, or the philosophy
of art and the aesthetic. Thus, the case study
was centered on how beauty affected thepractice of computer engineering.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
27/37
Synthesis
The interview has stressed out that the design of
the hardware devices affect greatly the level of
satisfaction of the users to the extent that he
will have to choose sellers that produce high-quality raw materials to produce high-quality
products.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
28/37
Synthesis
The quality of the raw materials to be used was
highly emphasized by the interviewee as it
was pointed out in Chapter II. Before computer
engineers can build any product, they mustfirst assure that the raw materials to be used
are evaluated properly and ensured that they
will function.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
29/37
Synthesis
Both literature presented concerning software
engineering and interviewees point of view
regarding the application of Aesthetics in
software engineering pertained to how theusers would satisfactorily respond to the
developed software to the extent that will it be
user-friendly enough or not.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
30/37
Synthesis
The elegance of the program could
critically determine the functionality of
the software itself as discussed in theprevious chapters.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
31/37
Synthesis
The researchers have assumed that the
hardware-software integration cannot
create the significance of Aesthetics in
Computer Engineering for its conceptsare purely theoretical and scientific that
the researchers limited it to how the
software and hardware were individuallymade to create aesthetic impacts to the
users or consumers.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
32/37
Synthesis
The researchers have obtained results
centered on how the users will respond to
the products constructed for it is only
through there that Aesthetics can beclearly seen with effects and functions.

Conclusion
From the data gathered and
analyzed, the researchers
have formulated the followingconclusions:
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
34/37
Conclusion
1. In hardware engineering, Aesthetics
pose significance to the creation of the
hardware devices with the users level
of satisfaction of the hardware and the
utility of the product.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
35/37
Conclusion
2. In software engineering, the
programs developed are created for
the users to efficiently maximize its
use. Aesthetics enters the scene with
the graphical user interface affecting
the user-friendliness of the program
and how the users will be satisfied
with programs developed.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
36/37
Conclusion
3. Computer engineering utilizes
aesthetic judgment to create end-
products that would suffice the taste of
the users and the level of satisfaction
of the users.
7/29/2019 Aesthetics Presentation
37/37
Conclusion
4. With the vague definition of Aesthetics
defined in the previous, the aesthetic value
and judgment of taste greatly affect the
decision of the users to appreciate thoseproduced by the Computer Engineers. It is
through there that Aesthetic greatly defines
the art in Computer Engineering. The role of
Aesthetics is to ensure that the products will
cognitively and intuitively satisfy the users of
the software and hardware devices.
