What's the difference between computer engineering and [[computer science?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"While the focus of a computer science degree is the theory behind computing, computer engineering combines element of software engineering, electronic engineering and hardware-software integration.

Graduates of a computer science degree qualify for a variety of IT roles that include programming, systems security, network administration, telecommunication, etc. Those who complete a degree in computer engineering may qualify for the role of computer hardware engineers, who are responsible for the development, installation, and maintenance of computer systems."

Students taking into consideration a profession centered on computers and computing often ask for explanation about the distinction between computer engineering (CEN) and computer science (CS). There are theoretical as well as realistic answers to these questions.

Computer Science is customarily more focused with the theoretical underpinnings of computation and of programming. You typically find courses in programming, algorithms, numerical analysis (how do you assure a figure produced by a computer program is precise), and the theory of computation such as, what can and cannot in principle be computed. The emphasis on providing a rigorous mathematical foundation for the computing disciplines is still evident in many CS curricula.
Computer engineering programs largely residential in engineering departments are very strong in electrical engineering. Computer Engineering focuses on the practical aspects of development and use of computers. Courses in digital logic design and central processing unit interfacing which build on an engineering student's familiarity of electronics and circuits are in general found in CEN programs. Computer Engineering programs also often have structural bonds to solid state physics and devices. Programs are established where the details of manufacturing integrated circuits are studied. At the crossroads between CEN and CS, are courses in computer architecture which is to say, the basic construction and low-level programming of computers and operating systems. These are likely to be instituted in either or both programs.

Computer engineers are the ones involved in the development of actual computer infrastructure and hardware. While computer science on the other hand are the people who deals with the abstract problems that arises with the use of computers.
