computer architecture or computer engineering ?

<p>Hi, everybody... I am a moroccan student who would like to study in the USA after graduating in high school. Well, my desire to go there burns me because I love Pure Mathematics and also the renowned of American universities.</p>

<p>Well, I would like to opt for computer architecture or computer engineering. I'll take the TOEFL this year. My mathematical abilities are highest at school, I always help people in Mathematics in the Homework forum and at school.</p>

<p>So, I just want to know what job is more profitable and in demand, computer architecture or computer engineering ?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>I don’t understand- which university that you are looking at, actually offers a major in computer architecture? </p>

<p>I wouldn’t focus too much on comp. architecture at the undergrad level…just get your fundamentals down with the computer engineering degree.</p>

<p>Computer architecture is typically one or a few courses available within a computer engineering or computer science degree program.</p>

<p>If you’re looking for applications of pure mathematics in computer architecture, people study things like optimization, parallelism, and communications theory to aid in the design of hardware. This generally happens at the graduate level.</p>

<p>Computer Architecture is just a course taken by CompE or CS majors. You can’t really major in it.</p>
