There are three major software degrees:

• CS(Computer Science)
• CSE(Computer Scence and Engineering)
• CE(Computer Engineering)

All three majors are software degrees, but CS is purely software with no required hardware curriculum, CSE is software and little bit of hardware, CE is software and a little bit of hardware, but with a stronger emphasis on Electrical Engineering Design than CSE.

• WHEN TO CHOOSE CS:

If you are 100% sure you do not want to work with nor want to know anything about the hardware behind the software or if you want to diversify in a different direction that is not Electrical Engineering (like Linguistics or Civil Engineering) then Computer Science is probably a better match.

• WHEN TO CHOOSE CSE:

CSE is more of a middle ground between CS and CE. So if you want a taste of the the digital circuits/signals and systems background while keeping the focus on more CS opportunities, then Computer Science and Engineering is a better match.

• WHEN TO CHOOSE CE:

CE has additional ECE design experience (ENGR 96C, 2 Quarter Capstone (ECE 180DA/DB or 183DA/DB) and one additional required ECE course (113 – Digital Signal Processing). There is also one more additional ECE Elective and 3 less required CS courses, so if you have a strong interest in expanding your ECE experience while still earning a software degree, then CE is the better match.

Dear Aman, Yes both are the same subject and if you want this subject you need to take B.tech  and they are branch is known as computer Engineering you may say CE or CSE both are similar subject and branch so no need to worry if you take CS/CSE you may get the same study CSE is four year course so thin carefully to take admission.

Hi singh

Here are details of the courses

• What is 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. As such, it concerns the electrical engineering considerations of how microprocessors function, are designed, and are optimized; how data is communicated among electronic components; how integrated systems of electronic components are designed and how they operate to process instructions expressed in software; and how software is written, compiled, and optimized for specific hardware platforms. Therefore, computer engineers are electrical engineers who specialize in software design, hardware design, or systems design that integrates both.

• What is Computer Science?

Computer Science is the study of how data and instructions are processed, stored, communicated by computing devices. A modern descendant of Applied Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, Computer Science deals with algorithms for processing data, the symbolic representation of data and instructions, the design of instruction languages for processing data, techniques for writing software that process data on a variety of computing platforms, protocols for communicating data reliably and securely across networks, the organization of data in databases of various types and scales, the emulation of human intelligence and learning through computer algorithms, statistical modeling of data in large databases to support inference of trends, and techniques for protecting the content and authenticity of data. Therefore, computer scientists are scientists and mathematicians who develop ways to process, interpret, store, communicate, and secure data.
