<p>Hey...
I am confused about my first option in my applications...shud i choose Comp.Engineering or Comp.Science. I love computers and thoroughly enjoy coding and luv and excel at maths(LEVEL 2 - 800). However, is it true that computer engineering will give me better opportunities than computer science??</p>
<p>Those who know about these fields ---- Which should i choose?</p>
<p>I'd say it all depends on what you want to do when you finish your degree. If you want to code when you're done then take comp sci. If you want to design programs and computer hardware then maybe think of computer engineering.</p>

<p>CS mainly focuses only software applications and practical problems, but you will know the basic hardware such as cpu, hard drive, memory, etc. but not the detailed electrical circuitry of the computer hardware. On the other hard, computer engineering is a specialized of electrical engineering and you have to know the hardware far better than the software. Although you will have some software knowledge, a computer scientist would have more training and skills. I am currently a CS major because I am interested in artificial intelligence, software engineering, and much more. Applying software to a computer system (such as the automobile industry for instance) is increasing, thus it vital and a great career since one can really do a lot more software development as the hardware improves.</p>
