What Is the difference between computer science engineering and computer network engineering
Respected sir,
Although there is a subject called Computer Science and although it's true that networking can be considered part of computer science, no-one that takes an undergraduate degree in computer science is likely to be a competent network engineer, in fact most PhD computer scientists are not network engineers. I think it's reasonable to say that many computer science undergraduate degrees will focus on software and the theoretical aspects of what is possibly with computing machines.
In a lot of computer science programmes there will be one or two courses about networks just as there are one or two courses about programming in that BSNE degree. It's as if one of them is the reverse of the other.
If you acquire qualifications in either specialisation there is nothing to stop you from obtaining parallel qualifications in the other and that might be very valuable to some employers. The difficulty in the computing world, even for those of us who tried just to keep up in software, is the great rate of change.
Both the fields are almost the same its just that computer science is theoritical whereas computer enginerring is putting computer science into real life i.e being practical with it.
- Computer Engineering emphasizes solving problems in digital hardware and at the hardware-software interface.
- Computer Science(CS) focuses on understanding, designing, and developing programs andcomputers. Software Engineering (SE) deals with building and maintaining software systems.
I hope you might have undrstood the difference between the two.
Thankyou
