Computer Engineering (Coe or Cpe) Is A Branch of

Engineering is the use of science and math to design or make things. Computer engineering is a branch of engineering that combines computer science and electronic engineering to develop computer hardware and software. It focuses on all forms of computing from microprocessors to supercomputers. Computer science is the study of how data and instructions are processed, stored, and communicated by computing devices through algorithms, data representation, programming languages, and more. An example is how computer engineers design the chips and components in an iPhone while computer scientists create the operating system and apps.

What is engineering in simple words?

Engineering is the use of science and math to design or make things. People


who do engineering are called engineers. They learn engineering at a college or
university. Engineers usually design or build things. Some engineers also use their
skills to solve technical problems.

What is computer science simple definition?


Computer science (CS) is the study of computers and algorithmic processes,
including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their applications,
and their impact on society.

Computer engineering (CoE or CpE) is a branch of engineering that integrates several fields


of computer science and electronic engineering required to develop computer
hardware and software. Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering
(or electrical engineering), software design, and hardware-software integration instead of
only software engineering or electronic engineering. Computer engineers are involved in many
hardware and software aspects of computing, from the design of
individual microcontrollers, microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit
design. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work but
also how they integrate into the larger picture.

Computer Science vs. Computer Engineering: What’s the Difference?

What Is Computer Engineering? 

Computer Engineering is the marriage of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. It


focuses on computing in all forms, from microprocessors to embedded computing devices to
laptop and desktop systems to supercomputers. As such, it concerns the electrical engineering
considerations of how microprocessors function, are designed, and are optimized; how data is
communicated among electronic components; how integrated systems of electronic components
are designed and how they operate to process instructions expressed in software; and how
software is written, compiled, and optimized for specific hardware platforms. Therefore, computer
engineers are electrical engineers who specialize in software design, hardware design, or
systems design that integrates both.

What is Computer Science? 

Computer Science is the study of how data and instructions are processed, stored,
communicated by computing devices. A modern descendant of Applied Mathematics and
Electrical Engineering, Computer Science deals with algorithms for processing data, the symbolic
representation of data and instructions, the design of instruction languages for processing data,
techniques for writing software that process data on a variety of computing platforms, protocols
for communicating data reliably and securely across networks, the organization of data in
databases of various types and scales, the emulation of human intelligence and learning through
computer algorithms, statistical modeling of data in large databases to support inference of
trends, and techniques for protecting the content and authenticity of data. Therefore, computer
scientists are scientists and mathematicians who develop ways to process, interpret, store,
communicate, and secure data.

A Concrete Example: An iPhone

Consider an iPhone. Apple employs both Computer Scientists and Computer Engineers to
design each new version of the iPhone. Computer Engineers (and Electrical Engineers) designed
the chips that house the integrated circuits that make the iPhone’s various components (cell
radio, screen, controls, memory, microprocessor) function, and they figured out how to get the
various components to work with each other. That involves looking at the device at both the
microscopic level and the integrated systems level. Computer Scientists wrote the operating
system that manages the memory and concurrently running applications, the apps in the app
store that run on top of that operating system, the packing and unpacking of data into packets for
network communication and the encrypting of data so that prying eyes can’t see it.
