difference between computer engineering and computer science engineering in B.E /B.Tech

Hello student,

The basic difference between Computer Science and Computer Engineering is that CS is fully of software related concepts only whereas CE consists of both the software and well as the hardware concepts of the computer with a higher inclination towards hardware side itself.

However, as of now, in India it does not matter about CS or CE, both the courses are the same. However, if you are applying for abroad admissions, this difference matters a lot.

I hope this helps, All the Best!

Hello,

I hope you are doing fine, Computer Science deals with data and algorithms while Computer Engineering is focused on hardware and firmware.

• Computer Science started as a branch of Mathematics, while Computer Engineering began (and still is considered by some) as a branch of Electrical Engineering.
• Computer Science students learn about computing theory, programming, environments, algorithms, data security and transfer, etc. Computer Engineering students discover how to develop, prototype, and test microchips, circuits, processors, conductors and any other components used in computer devices or systems (e.g. supercomputers, smartphones, laptops, servers, IoT gadgets). They also develop the firmware, an essential type of software that allows operating systems and applications to take full advantage of the hardware.
• Computer scientists work with computational theories, powerful algorithms, and mathematical models which are used to develop software programmes and systems. Computer engineers, on the other hand, develop the hardware and firmware on which software and systems run.

I hope you find this information helpful. I wish you all the best for your future.

Good Luck

Computer Engineering and CSE are relatable, so is CST (Computer Science and Technology) and have an analogous curriculum at the Undergraduate Level. Its just like how Information Technology as an Engineering branch is hardly different from Information Science Engineering, available in many of the Top Private Engineering Colleges in Bangalore.
