Which is HOTTER: computer engineering or computer science?

Hi!


I am planning to do my bachelor in computer engineering (I am good at maths too) but my inclination is towards software coding. Does doing computer engineering at BS and Computer Science at master level (MS) is better option than doing computer science at both the level.Or should I opt computer science itself for my BS.





Please tell me the quality job prospect in both the field (relatively)


TIA

Which is HOTTER: computer engineering or computer science?
Computer Science more likely tend to Theory part and less Research and Development. In computer science there is lot of Studying and less Software Development. More over the base which u need to form to enter in the industry is not enough in Computer Science.





on the other side if u opt for engineering you'll benefit from Strong base which "ENGINEERING" offers also in industry the value for Engineering students is high compared to comp Sci.





both needs equal amount of studying and reference.





Anyways if u r from India/Maharashtra/mamba


take it from me computer science is the worst field to choose coz there is no proper school, no Professor, no guidance, no nothing. u have to stand on your own.





Anyways best of luck.
Reply:what do you mean better? that is the problem with indian engineers they go for what better, not what they like to do or enjoy. Report It

Reply:I would DEFINATELY say computer ENGINEER. Why? Because you still have to go through the coding part of it in college. So, if you CAN program, the engineering degree offers more flexibility.





I've got a buddy who grew up poor. He graduated high school almost an alcoholic. Waited about 5 years then started a BS degree in computer engineering. Now he (exclusively) PROGRAMS for lockheed-martin and makes alot of money.
Reply:From my observation with people I know, computer science would be a better area. I just think with computer science you have more choices to go into. Personally I say a BS in computer science is sufficient. Most companies today hire base on experience, unfortunately. My brother has a computer information degree from a good school and have a hard time looking for a job. Good luck to you!
Reply:Both are excellent, growing fields that offer great opportunities for innovative workers. However, be aware that it is also the field that is most quickly being outsourced to low-wage workers in highly educated developing nations (India, China...), so you have to understand that you will be forced to compete for work with lower-paid competitors, at least for the present.





This is certainly not to say that there are no North American tech jobs to be had; it just means that you will have to work harder and be more valuable to succeed.
Reply:which is hotter - depends on how good or bad the cooling fan is!
Reply:Princetonreview.com has the best resources for that type of information. I spent hours looking up different job possibilites. Try there.
Reply:I think that you should go with computer science if you have skill in computer software but always remember to go with the mind you have and not others because you should achieve the things in life that you want and not what ohters want you to achieve.
