Computer Science is the study of computation. It informs how we create software (ideally). Topics might be: Complexity, algorithms, models of computation, automata, … It is arguably a branch of discrete mathematics, and builds upon set theory, logic, etc. Computer Engineering is studying how computing machines are built. It informs how we build hardware. Topics might be: Hardware architectures, gates, instruction set design, digital communications … It overlaps digital electronics and physics. So you see the word "computer" in "Computer science" is something of a misnomer. Perhaps "Computing science" might be more accurate. The famous analogy used by Edsger Dijkstra (computer scientist) was: "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." |

Computer engineering talks more about hardware than software unlike computer science that dwells much on software |

Computer Science and Engineering are very different yet so similar. In simple English, Computer Science deals with software ( writing of programs ), algorithms, computer architecture e.t.c while Engineering deals with Hardware (You will also write programs ) |

Lol, unizik? Pfft. Anyways, there's some sense in what your friend said though. I am a student of the first ever digital institution in the east, Federal Polytechnic Oko, studying computer engineering. And I can assure you, we do more of practical than theories. The universities do otherwise. Go for computer science brother, as far as unizik is concerned. Another factor to consider while choosing unizik is their admission scheme, it's too tacky. Just follow your heart BRO. Computer engineering deals with both the hardware and software in a computer. Computer science bases itself on the latter, not that it's isolated from the hardware area. |

I will advise you go for computer engineering. Despite all you have heard about Nigeria universities, computer science is no better. The school I finished for example was offering computer with mathematics. The students realized their was no difference between their colleagues studying pure maths. I had a friend who regretted studying that course as against engineering. Outside the country, computer science is okay. But while in Nigeria, will advise you go for computer engineering. |

Now to bring it down home , I can assure you that you won't be doing a lot of intensive practicals if you opt for CE. our system hasn't been designed to recognise, accept and incorporate the practical details of this course into our curriculum. As an Electrical engineering student, I did a CE course in my 500L - computer architecture and guess what it was all theories and theories all thru. But do not despair. If you commit your mind to it and you are desirous of carving out a niche for yourself, by all means do CE. You ll find fulfillment in it. here's more if you want to read up on the difference between the two. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-computer-science-computer-engineering-and-software-engineering |

Re: Difference Between Computer Science And Computer Engineering Course? by saladel(m): 12:43pm On Apr 03, 2017 |
Computer scientist are programmers, while computer engineers fix computer problems either software or hardware. A computer engineer can also do communication engineers job and a few of elect elect. You'll learn how to program, but not as much as computer scientists. With a comp engine degree you can also do masters in comp science but you can't do masters in comp engine if you have a bsc in comp science. Comp engine can do most of comp science, communication engineers and elect elect jobs. |

Hi friend, thanks for asking this critical question. The way I see it, sincerely Nigerian Universities are not that OK with the practical aspect of Engineering generally unless you are looking forward to applying to a private university which is quite balance in both theory and practical. My advice, find ur niche ie where do u want to major in. Is it website design, programming etc? Now I need you to ask someone in the proposed school to help u to get the students handbook of the two departments, compare and contrast the syllabus yourself so as to make the right decision of the course u want to eventually go for. |
Re: Difference Between Computer Science And Computer Engineering Course? by Samjay009(m): 12:47pm On Apr 03, 2017 |
Why don't you study Elect/Elect instead? It is more versatile and still encompasses CE and CS. You can easily branch into any area of your choice after graduation 1 Like |

Re: Difference Between Computer Science And Computer Engineering Course? by udoh2k: 12:48pm On Apr 03, 2017 |
Computer Engineering is more or less a branch of Electronic Engineering. U will do more of elect/elect courses. Emphasis is on hardware maintenance and repairs. Computer Science is more or less a branch of mathematics. You will do more of mathematics and programming. Emphasis is on Software. In today's world which ever u choose, try to know a bit of both. Try to understand (on ur own) the basic of how to maintain a system; how to write simple software that works...programming; how to explain/advise people on acquisition of computer technology...system analysis. Any where u would work, they will need these 3 skills. NB. Most people that do computer in school, shy away from programming. If u face it, u will be distinguished. |

Computer science over computer engineering |
Re: Difference Between Computer Science And Computer Engineering Course? by frankopit: 12:48pm On Apr 03, 2017 |
Computer Science. You can be a software developer or a system Analyst. It sales more than computer Engineering. you can actually manufacture a software as a computer scientist , while in Computer Engineering i don't really know if u can manufacture hardware after graduating from our Nigeria University(leave that for the physics student). You have to develop the spirit of programming as a computer scientist.then you can be a millionaire while @home non employed. The theoretical aspect of computer science will teach you more on Mathematics, Database, programming, documentation, and Software Engineering. in Your Postgraduate you learn more of Software Engineering, Database and Algorithms. and how to solving complex problem with Algorithms in data mining and or using artificial intelligence. Optimization problem using Machine Learning algorithm( Like ABC, KNN, SVM, Natural network, Linear Regression Logistic Regression Decision Tree SVM Naive Bayes KNN K-Means Random Forest Dimensionality Reduction Algorithms Gradient Boost & Adaboost ) etc I Specialize and Research In using Machine Learning Algorithm to solve Optimization problem. catch me on twitter @frankputer to get more on machine learning Big data,data mining . |

What's the point in studying computer science degree for 4+ years when you can do acquire targeted certificates that usually come with practical experience for your desired industry? Food for thought right? Computer science is strictly software whereas computer engineering is best of both worlds (software and hardware) 1 Like |

fuckboys: Computer Engineering is not about fixing or repairing computers. Dat one is for computer village boys. Computer Engineering in practical is about designing building hardware systems, and integrating with embedded software. Aspects of computer engineering include articial intelligence, robotics, telecoms, computer architectures, hardware and chip configs, etc Even in d best Nigerian universities, you'll be taught basics.no practical. (I went to one). So be versatile and learn outside d classroom. Computer Science is about software, the inanimate parts..building apps, designing apps. Contemporary fields in comp science are , ui/ux, data science, data analytics, mobile development, etc Depends on what u want. 2 Likes |

i really love to study computer science, computer science is just like junior brother of computer engineering. computer science did will software while computer engineering do with hardware. brother u can study computer science or computer engineering and become perfectly in Nigeria university but it depend on ur potential. we knew that Nigeria university are not too good in practical or technical aspect but u can be the best of it. u can get the online tutorial, youtube is there for u. u knw the best and u can be the best. goodluck, |

I am a graduate of Computer Engineering, and i have been in the IT industry for 3 years now. I also have colleague with computer Science background. From what i have learned in school and the Telecoms industry, also with knowledge shared with Computer Science folks. I can say that ''Computer Science deals with the study of using computer technology to provide solution to business needs/problem solving, while Computer Engineering teaches about computer system design and integration (hardware and software to drive the system) to solve general life problem''. For example, a web or app developer for business solution. at this level of, you are only dealing with a high level computer programming. On the other hand, micro programming, AI and robotics is an area of the computer technology thought as Engineering. I may have made a little sense.. |

Chukwuka16: You do realise you don't have to be a specialist in any of those fields to be a data scientist right? What's your MSc in? Have you come across this Venn diagram?
