<p>1) No. Computer Science and Computer Engineering are two very different things. The most dumbed down way of explaining it is that CS is closer to the inner programming side of computers while CE is closer to the hardware programming and such. My statement isn’t 100% accurate but I think you understand. </p>
<p>2) Again, I disagree. In CS you often work with physics to make sense in your programming and things alike. “Contributive” and “important” are very loose words. Computer Science is a huge part of the reason you are on the internet typing what you type. CS is also responsible for many of the programs physicists use these days, which further out understanding of the universe. CS fuels the technologies of today and the future. </p>
