Computer Science VS Computer Engineering

What’s the Difference Between Computer Science and Computer Engineering?

Computer Science

 Computer Science” is an umbrella term which encompasses four major areas of computing: theory, algorithms, programming languages, and architecture. At the undergraduate level, programs usually cover a broad range of computing topics and allow students to engage in projects across multiple areas. 

• Algorithms is the study of effective and efficient procedures of solving problems on a computer.
• Theory of computation concerns the meaning and complexity of algorithms and the limits of what can be computed in principle.
• Computer architecture concerns the structure and functionality of computers and their implementation in terms of electronic technologies.

 Computer Engineering

Computer Engineering is the marriage of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. It focuses on computing in all forms, from microprocessors to embedded computing devices to laptop and desktop systems to supercomputers.

• Networks is concerned with design and implementation of distributed computing environments, from local area networks to the World Wide Web.
• Multimedia computing is the blending of data from text, speech, music, still image, video and other sources into a coherent data stream , and its effective management, coding-decoding and display.
