The Specialized English for Computer Engineering, Computer Science & IT (SECE) book is an integrated guide for intermediate level of specialized English, appropriate for computer engineering, IT and computer science course. SECE focuses on basic information on computer engineering with substantial technical materials. It is flexible enough to be used for engineering students to increase their knowledge of academic reading and writing ability. The SECE is based on the notion that the more vocabulary students know the better their reading comprehension is improved, and the more students read, the more they understand. As a result, they generate more thoughtful ideas to structure their academic writing. The authors have also attempted to high light the process of learning reading comprehension, vocabulary learning and writing development through providing adequate activities, such as pre-reading, reading and post-reading in different sections of each unit in SECE. The SECE is comprised of 14 units centring on basic features of a computer and ends with managing high speed computer hardware. A quick overview of each unit is elucidated below. Unit 1 is an introductory focus on the sense of university achievement and discusses a few views focusing on improving a university high quality education. This brief orientation of the views helps university students achieve the most in their courses, increase their learning awareness and strengthen their learning goals in the university. Unit 2 provides a brief account of the basic features of a computer and describes the main components, such as the CPU, Motherboard, Power supply, RAM, Hard drive, etc., of a computer along with adequate examples. Unit 3 deals with fighting against digital viruses, discussing digital viruses emerging in a computer, and introducing strategies to control them in a computer. It also provides information on different types of digital viruses and how a computer user can use stealth infection strategies
