Computer science focuses on the software aspect of the computer. Developing applications and operating systems( when you school abroad, you can do researches to that point because of available resources). You need to be very good in arithmetic because you will have arithmetic courses and a lot of projects where you learn to write in programming languages. CAREER opportunities are limitless. Everyone and everybody needs people good in software development.

Computer engineering focuses on the hardware aspect of computers and peripheral devices. It also includes networking of computers and some servers configuration etc.
CAREER opportunities are very good too especially in the telecom sector.

Both courses will require professional development courses yearly because it keeps advancing and you must take professional Qualification to keep up with your contemporaries globally.

I hope this helps. Other readers can add more to the little I have explained. Good luck.

i would say engineering because of the following reasons

when it comes to the software ... computer scienctist have proven to be best in that area ... but mostly they lag @ hardware

engineering can do both software and hard ware


pls correct me if I'm wrong ...

Concisely, COS deals with software development, networking, programming, configurations, coding....
While CEng deals more on hardware envelopment, structuring,...
For instance, a comp scientist works with Google and Android.. While an engineer works with Samsung and exynos.
In naija the are more job opportunities for comp scientists ie IT consultants.
But generally, an engineer might get the higher pay.

It depends on you, really, OP.


If you're able to think abstract stuff yet relate it to the present needs of the society and also if you have a highly creative mind; then I'll say Computer science is better.

On the other hand, if you prefer to deal with real and quantifiable matter and can labor through some pretty hardcore physics; then Computer engineering is for you.




It doesn't matter the one you choose;
You're going to have to love maths like your life.

A computer science student once told me he was dreaming in binary...


It was Then I knew it's a do or die thing gringrin

No bro, you're wrong.

Computer engineers deal with hardware ONLY.

The software aspect is left to programmers; who are computer scientists

not quite bro I've gat friends studying computer engineering and they do programming ... a lot of .... but not up to the once studying the science .... you've gat to know your software to make the hardware

Well, I guess you're right.
They also learn programming languages like C and C+


my bad.

Computer Engineering pay higher than computer science

Education
Computer Engineering as a course are professional courses while computer science are semi-professional courses................

Job experience
Computer Engineers are paid higher than computer science

well I would also like to say don't do it for the money .. . instead do it for passion. if you love maths and applications if physics ,...... engineering .. and if you can set apart an hour a day for maths ... you're good for science ... but seriously engineering is fun if you've gat the right motives and friends. but first of all God...
