What's the difference between Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering %26amp; IT Engineering?
When you are talking about IT vs Engineering there is a difference. IT people do networking, systems setup, maintenance, and simple stuff like that. True computer engineers program. Computer engineers design and program hardware while software engineers design and program software. IT doesn't do much programming and that is their weakness. A programmer knows how to do everything a IT person can do, but an IT person cannot do what a programmer can do. If you want to work for Google, Microsoft, yahoo, you have to be the best at your field, whether it is IT or Engineering or Programming. You study what you need to study (either IT or Computer Engineering). Make sure you do well and get internships during the summer and experience. That will help.
Reply:Prior to college, these are all basically have the same meaning. I would not stress about it. Start college, go through the core courses, then start to specialize just a bit in what you like. Later on you will get a better feel, but it really is not important now.





All of these big companies you have named have a lot of different types of software/computer jobs, so no doubt what you end up studying in school (as long as it is related to software, computers or the Internet) will be useful to land a job at Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc.





Good luck!
