BS Computer Engineering emphasizes the design and development of computer hardware, embedded systems, as well as software. Its curriculum includes courses such as digital logic design, microprocessors, circuits, electronics, computer architecture, and hardware-software integration, along with programming and operating systems. In contrast, Computer Science concentrates on software systems, algorithms, data structures, databases, and theoretical foundations.
Computer Engineering graduates are more likely to work in embedded systems, hardware design, robotics, and systems integration, while Computer Science graduates often pursue careers in software development, data science, and research.
