Dump both of them and opt for Elect/Elect engineering instead! Kill two birds with a stone with the possibility of killing more birds with same stone. |

piperson: Whats d difference between a desktop computer and a standing fan? Electronic devices are devices powered by electric energy. Simple. A computer is a type of electronic device that can accept input and output. An electric fan cannot accept digital input or output |

Computer engineering a waste of 5 years in Nigerian schools. Zero practicals. Even the Ibo boys at computer village know how to operate computers more than our so called computer engineers. |

1. This is Unizik, Nigeria, even for Computer Science we haven't been able to successful teach and develop competence talk-less Computer Engineering. 2. They aren't the same thing by the way (except in Nigeria). And don't confuse computer engineering with computer hardware. So those talking about technical matters aren't helping you. Computer Science includes 'technicals', involves hardware, networks, software, databases etc Check a foreign university online; compare Computer Engineering with Computer Science. You'll see courses each department take. Long and short, go to Unizik, buy a DESKTOP COMPUTER or two, get your OWN BOOKS, get your hands dirty, learn the little or much they lecture you at Unizik and develop yourself. But first things first - face that JAMB and get that admission. Best Wishes! poindexter229: |

No one reads cpe and regrets it. Computer Science is like physics, mathematics etc. I think I'm right with this. Though they might be saying they own software part, who cares. Cpe deals with both hardware and software parts. In fact some take software engineering as a course, though maybe not in Nigeria but don't let them deceive you cpe owns both, and you av a choice of specializing on the one U lik best during ur final year. |

I think the answer to your question would be basically where you see yourself and what you really enjoy doing. If you like writing programs, designing practical solutions to problems, database, system analysis etc, then your best bet is Computer science. You are not taught the hardware but the software part of a computer. If you like fixing computers, the hardware part of a computer, then go for Computer engineering. Although i would advise that Electrical Electronics Engineering would be more encompassing than Computer Engineering. How about having a one - one talk with people who studied either Computer science or Computer Engineering. I once faced this dilemma. All the best !!! |
Re: Difference Between Computer Science And Computer Engineering Course? by pLord: 1:21pm On Apr 03, 2017 |
Depends on what you want, if you consider proficiency in both software and hardware, I will advise u don't do the computer engineering because most Nigerian universities have no bearing in this. I did electrical and computer engineering and I can tell u I didn't regret the decision. Right now I am a software engineer(my first love) very versed in hardware(design and integration) and telecommunication. |

geekybabe: errmmm actually some fans are a little more advanced right? Fans have control circuits and don't necessarily rely on conventional switches Your remote controls still rely on digital electronic principles for effective actions Some use PICs which as you know requires programming for it to work |

I realise that anyone with some substantive knowledge can claim to be a data scientist but you get me wrong. You do realise that the key is not just being a scientist but making good and valuable use of such data in decision making. There is a reason data analysts are paid handsomely. The key lies in their ability to take data and be creative with it. Their ability to fairly quantify the contribution of varying factors to a model and achieve some accuracy makes them tick. Furthermore, the ability to be good at establishing a nexus between human behaviour and data models is key. My MS is in EEE with bias in energy management systems optimization and No, I am just seeing the diagram for the first time. jaybee3: |

It depends on the school you choosing. The school graduated from offers it as Computer science and Engineering (CSE) department. It's when you get to 300level that you have to choose your option... Good luck. |

toyetade: computer engineering covers both hard ware and software.. op,my advice is for you to go and learn the practical aspect first. |

poindexter229: I graduated from same department & same school...Both are nice course, but I prefer computer science not because that's what I studied(only liked d course during my IT & I never regretted...only regret is graduating with 2:2, but making up & improving myself by learning different programming language...wanted to study something else)...Back then in my hostel computer engineering students use to admire us...whenever my coursemate come around & we are coding, that's when u will see the engine boys begging us to teach them that they are just studying c.engineering for mouth..This is incredible but it is d gospel truth..in my hostel then, I was known as d programmer |

Choose the one your mind is in it, that is computer Engineering. In the labour market in Nigeria, the two goes hand in hand. Most companies advertise for vacancies on computer related stuff without differentiating between computer Engineering or science. You edge over every other computer related course graduates in Nigerian labour market is your activity outside your regular curricula in school like professional qualifications and any practical experience you can lay your hands on , don't joke with these, if you are going to study computer related course. Secondary Unizik offers computer Engineering with Electrical/Electronics Engineering together. You have the choice of studying all together till your 4th year before you branch into either Power Engineering option or Electronics and computer Engineering option. I think that is an added advantage. I graduated from the department that is how I know. |

kendyflash:I do not agree with you. There are branches of Computer Science that deals with AI and Robotics. You oversimplified your definition. |

Lol. I really don't have the answers. Besides I'm seeing some fantastic inputs too and learning from them. Any questions could be asked here and folks in the house would be glad to pitch in their answers. In the multitude of counsel no room for errors. ephibob: |

jaybee3: Isnt it a waste of time studying computer engineering in Nigeria? Certificates wont teach u everything u need to know abt computer science but just a branch of a course in computer science. |
Re: Difference Between Computer Science And Computer Engineering Course? by ehix89(m): 1:43pm On Apr 03, 2017 |
poindexter229:If I were you I will study Elect/Elect instead, it encompasses both |
Re: Difference Between Computer Science And Computer Engineering Course? by miketayo(m): 1:44pm On Apr 03, 2017 |
there are alot more opportunities in studying computer science than Engr... most of the popular IT ppl (bill gates and co) we know are products of comp sci or something similar |
Re: Difference Between Computer Science And Computer Engineering Course? by geekybabe(f): 1:50pm On Apr 03, 2017 |
jaybee3: Yea. I get that. I am only trying to give a laymans explanation to a jambite. A fan as an electronic device does not accept or process data. Simple. And thks. Tho I know what PICs mean. I'm a techie. |
Re: Difference Between Computer Science And Computer Engineering Course? by Integrity4u(m): 1:50pm On Apr 03, 2017 |
Depending your choice of institution but I am currently a student of computer engineering in oau and with 3years spent already in that department, I must confess that it is not worth it. Our mates doing computer with econs and with maths delve more into computer courses than we in engineering. Engineering as just been full of irrelevant courses in other engineering departments... 1 Like |
