I was a Computer Science major but I switched to Computer Engineering last year. There really isn't much programming after your first 3 semesters in CS, after that it's all theory, which is great for the few that want to work in academia. Computer Engineering actually allows me to apply my learned programming skills to projects, whether inside or outside of class. This is why I made the switch and have no regrets!

In a pen you have a plastic body, a cap, a nib for the ball point on one end, a ink cartridge inside, a spring loaded system/mechanism, and a button on the other end you press to use the pen" and for CS they said "now that you have a pen CS careers are more interested in how to use this pen/pencil. How one will hold it, what position to hold it, how to properly write with it how to erase a mistake etc". I don't know if that definition is true or not but I still think about it sometimes.

[@friedoysterskins2942]

CE majors in my school had to go through the introductory engineering classes (calc 1-3, physics, chem, general engineering etc) then go onto the introductory Electrical/computer engineering classes (circuits, programming C (low level languages) etc) then the fundamental classes (engineering algorithms (turns out was just data structures and algo), more Electrical work, networks etc) CS majors start off with programming, but can specialize earlier since they are committed to programming. However CE majors have the choice of going into programming as well but they do it later. CE majors can still specialize in hardware, creating micro controllers through VLSI design and FPGA board fabrication. My school has specific computer vision, machine learning and deep learning courses listed as EECE (electrical and computer engineering) classes taught by the college of engineering not the college of computer science! Honestly, there is a lot more you can do with CE, not to say that you should take it. If you are committed to machine learning - take Data science or CS with concentration classes in AI and ML If you are interested in Cybersecurity - do CS or CY (if your school offers that) if you are interested in software engineering and game design - 100% do CS But if you want to go into embedded programming, hardware/electronic engineering, chip manufacturing, micro controller and FPGA board design then take CE Or take CE and at the end of the four years just go into software engineering or machine learning after going through all the first year and circuits classes. Or become insanely specialized and work in embedded machine learning with low level languages, or build FPGA boards, micro-controllers or chips to run neural networks efficiently.

[@inug4mida]

I think the main difference is that Computer engineers are more focused on circuits, hardware and low level programming but when it comes to algorithms, servers, computer systems, networks, data bases, cybersecurity, AI and hacking, computer scientist are the best to work with all of that

[@islandsfuldkorn]

I would say its the opposite way. Computer engineers focus more on servers, networks, cybersecurity and hacking. Although Computer science knows a little more about algorithms databases and AI.

[@thepurplepanda4]

​@@islandsfuldkorn Assuming by 'hacking' you mean ethical hacking, please note that it is a sub-specialization within the specialization of cybersecurity. When it comes to general competencies for computing: Traditionally, cs has done equal amounts of low - level programming because the point of a traditional computer science degree is the systems knowledge near and around an operating system combined with high theory. You can kind of use that as the cutoff point between the disciplines. Computer engineering goes very broad into electrical, not really getting the opportunity to do much in the field, so it can rush towards digital electronics, junctions, modulators, logic, etc. Then it specializes traditionally just under the operating system level. Regarding who is better at whatever the intersection is between the disciplines is normally as such: CE: HPC, Flexibility, computational engineering, robotics, control systems, signals, computer networking are all mostly a computer engineers specialty. Though a cs student focusing on any of these topics can completely eclipse the engineer in the algorithmic or research side of things regardless. CS: Game development, graphics programming, artificial intelligence, theoretical computation, digital signal processing, numerical algorithmics, computational science, computer vision, SLAM, algorithmics, software engineering (yes, really). Some consider CS to be some form of pre-accredidation software engineering degree. The huge difference professionally between the two is as thus: CS can specialize across a whole *field* of various sub-components of debate, whereas a computer engineering cannot. For example in my degree because I haven't any need to take engineering common core or pass some exam, I know I am going: AI (moreso then any traditional engineer ever could), Computer networking, Computer graphics, computational theory (Basically just advanced algorithmics), robotics, database systems, and some HPC elements. A computer engineer by contrast could take maybe one of those as a specialization, and it would have to be heavily related to hardware for it to be considered "real" engineering.

[@Theearthyexplorateur]

@@thepurplepanda4 Hey good ideas guys, both just keep in mind that no one CS or CE student can specialize in all of those fields, and since you don't really even need a degree to get into some I don't see the big deal.

[@philosopher1969]

@@thepurplepanda4 I completely disagree with some of your premises. Digital Signal Processing is definitely a Computer Engineer's forte. If your CS degree has some DSP subjects it's more likely that the course code has EE on it rather than CS. "Though a cs student focusing on any of these topics can completely eclipse the engineer in the algorithmic or research side of things regardless." - this is purely a speculation - although computer engineers has less algorithm subjects compared to cs - they definitely know about it. The computer engineer will definitely eclipse a computer scientist when it comes to control systems, DSP, robotics, networking regardless. On the other hand, you can't say this for software engineering - a lot software engineers, game developers, graphics programmers in industry doesn't even have a CS nor a CE degree - that means it's much easier for others to learn this craft. "The huge difference professionally between the two is as thus: CS can specialize across a whole field of various sub-components of debate, whereas a computer engineering cannot." - again, purely speculation - I don't know where are you getting this information.

A minor adendum rather than correction; computer science can use that pen from two different perspectives "Ways of reasoning about using that pen" being the theory and: "Ways to actually use the godamn pen instead of thinking about it forever" of which is applied computing.

Not anymore, Computer Engineering is much closer to CS now than before.

[@dekev7503]

@@daboss6614 You mean CS is much closer to Electrical Engineering than before ( or arguably visa versa). Computer Engineering syllabi still include Circuits courses ( both Digital and Analog) Signal and Systems courses, DSP, RF/Microwave Engineering courses, Control theory, Telecommunications Engineering ( and in many instances ) Solid State electronics/physics courses. All these make up between 75-85 % of most Computer Engineering syllabi ( thats also including all the compulsory math and statistics courses that EE also take) and these are the core courses of Electrical Engineering as well. The remaining 15-25 % are occupied by CS courses like programming, OS design, Embedded systems, Algorithm design, Software Engineering, Database systems, etc most of which are also taken by Electrical Engineering students as well. That's why in most schools Computer Engineering is typically a specialty option in Electrical Engineering. Nowadays I'm beginning to see a lot of CS departments teach a lot of traditional EE course like control theory, robotics, RF design, signal and systems, etc.

[@daboss6614]

@@dekev7503 To be honest how much cs and ee courses in the Computer Engineering degree depends on the University. Not all Universities would require every one of those courses you listed. Some of the toughest EE courses, like Electromagneticism arent required for Computer Engineering. CS majors also have the same math and statistics classes btws. While your right that Computer Engineers has to take several similar courses to EE that still doesnt account for the fact Cp E majors now has to take courses like Algorithms and Data Structures, Intro to OS, Software Engineering and more programming courses in Java, Python, and C++ which wasnt case before. These are courses that EE rarely have to take. And yea CS is also becoming closer to Electrical Engineering, which I suspect is because having the knowledge of how the hardware works makes for much better programming abilities.

From what I can understand soft eng is a comp sci degree with the pathway or electives already decided not saying you can get a job in soemthing like cyber security. But for comp eng there are so many more job option because it is a cs degree but it is also an electrical engineering degree meaning that once your done with school you can pretty much work as any engineer. Biomedical, mechanical, pretty much any job with the title engineering in it you could apply and be a strong candidate with some experience under your belt. The bad side about this is that most of the time all of the high paying jobs that you most likley choose to major in computer engineering for are going to be in software anyways so really what’s the point. I’m majoring in comp engineering to do I’m trying to figure out if the flexibility and title of being an engineer is worth the pain and headache of majoring in arguably one of the hardest majors. Some engineers do make more than anything in software later in your career so that is a plus too.

Data science major at Columbia here. I'd say it all depends on what you want to do in the future BUT in my opinion statistics would be your best bet as it actually gives you extra skills that are useful. IMO any entrepreneurship major or minor is mostly a cash grab. You'll already be learning corporate structure and law from your major so it's not a smart choice. That being said, idk what an "AI" minor would entail but considering that most of machine learning is applied linear algebra and statistics then I'd stick with stats. If you can take the course load, but ai would be my second choice . Also you need a good background in linear algebra if you want to make the most use of statistics courses because there's an underlying use of linear systems in almost everything you do. Hope this makes sense
