What's the difference between <Computer science> and <computer engineering technology>?

Thanks

What's the difference between %26lt;Computer science%26gt; and %26lt;computer engineering technology%26gt;?
computer science studies and researches better ways of building hardware and software. various issues are studied such as new languages, new search methods, data organization, computer hardware interfaces, drivers, new technology for operating systems and communications/networking, new storage media concepts are developed...


Statistical analysis is done about random events, queueing theory, etc


this is more about advancing the state of the art of hardware and software and the knowledge thereof - patents and Nobel prices are won and a lot of research is done at the universities





computer engineering technology involves using the state of the art technology (both harware and software) and building better systems and applications using these new technologies.


advances are made in how technology changes are managed, engineering processes are developed. studies to improve the engineering processes for a given product are completed. New uses for technology are processed in R%26amp;D, new products are developed, improved versions are produced, error and problem resolution is managed, product components are optimized for cost and better quality


this is more about about building products for sale, patents are filed and software is copyrighted
Reply:Computer science: programing softwares





computer engineering technology: designing hardwares.


(It provides knowledge and skill development related to computer engineering and digital electronics)
Reply:Depending on the context, Computer Engineering is typically hardware, very physics intensive. Computer Science is an overview of hardware and software, generally more emphasis on software programming, but a grounding in both. Now, if you're talking about Software Engineering, you're pretty specific to software, except where the software interacts with the hardware. Confused more or less? ;-)





If you're looking at colleges, you'll want to compare the courses to make sure you know which you're interested in. If you're looking at someone's resume, you should probably know more about the subjects before you think about hiring for the position.
Reply:Computer software: more on developing software. using the technology created by the computer engineer efficiently.





Computer Engineering Technology: More on designing hardware and many advance math and physics
