Hey Gauri Brahme,

The main thing first of all the question you asked about which of the following subject is consisting of the Hardware and whats the major difference Then here is what you need Computer Science Engineering(CSE) : - This is the part of engineering where many gets confused. This is a slight different from COMPUTER ENGINEERING. In Computer Engg. the main aspect is to get the all over information whether it is hardware or the Software.While the CSE is related with the Design of the compiler and how the working of the computer and their compilers works here also you will learn about the software and programming but it is more concerned with the COMPILERS DESIGN and its WORKING. While the CE works wuth the hardware like Micro - Processor and the software part.

All the best!

Dear Gauri

Computer Science is an umbrella term which encompasses four major areas of computing: theory, algorithms, programming languages, and architecture. At theundergraduate level, programsusually cover a broad range of computing topics and allow students to engage in projects across multiple areas. Forgraduate studies in computer science, it is typical to focus on one area. Therefore, it is important to research the graduate program to make sure that the school has the faculty and resources that you need to complete your masters or doctoral project. While Carnegie Mellon has remained the vanguard over the decades, many schools you might not be that familiar with also have great Computer Science programs, including state schools like Rutgers, University of Texas at Austin, and University of Maryland at College Park.



Computer Engineering typically focuses specifically on computer hardware and software. It is an integration of computer science and electrical engineering. For this reason, many people who want to become computer engineers earn anundergraduate degree in electrical engineering(often with a minor or double major in computer science), and then earn agraduate degree in computer engineering. When searching for a graduate program, look for schools that are equally strong in computer science and engineering. MIT is still the leader here, but other schools like the University of Washington and Texas A&M University have built on their strong engineering programs to integrate computer science. Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) has its roots in engineering and has been producing technological advances in computing since its inception. This is reflected inFITs Electrical and Computer Engineering Departmentsoutstanding faculty and facilities as well as its commitment to preparing graduate students to be innovators in computer engineering.

Hope, it will clear your ambiguity.
