Computer Science Engineering vs. Computer Science

Edwards Finance > Computer Engineering

Q. I am 16 years old and am looking at colleges. Whenever I browse through the programs I see C.S under engineering and its own category. What's the difference. If you have majored in computer anything, I'd appreciate it if you could email me explaining the program. Anything will be great.

A. -The difference is due to different focus of the programs. CS may be an engineering curriculum to focus on the design of compilers, computer architecture, etc. That usually falls under an engineering degree (BS). Or CS can be a liberal arts degree (BA), which may focus more on programming languages and techniques. Or you may want an Information Science degree, which will tend to focus on use of database systems or library science issues. -Well it's been a decade since I graduated, Tony. Back then, taking C.S. meant that you would also have to take foreign language courses and taking C.E. meant that you would also have to take additional E.E. courses. -At Embry-Riddle, where I am chairman of the Computer Science Program, the distinction is in the balance between hardware and software. Both majors require mastering the basics in both areas (hardware and software) but the computer engineers take more advanced hardware design courses, while the computer science majors take more advanced software and applied mathematics courses.
