Hye all..soon i will have received for my diploma at Kuantan, Pahang..maybe this October and emphasized on Computer Engineering.Thus, i have already planned to continue degree level but major in Computer Science. Now i quite confused either to continue in the same field or just follow to follow my interest in Computer Science (Networking). Which local institutions that offered such this courses..? Anyway guys out there..please help me to choose the best decisions to continue in what fields..this will be make me such a miserable life thinking about that everyday..

p/s: All suggestions, opinions, comments..are welcomed.

i need a little bit of guidance to assist my choice for this two courses.

hi.. so which course you chosen?
Im confused with these 2. im not sure to choose which one.
hope you can help me decide.
based on your experience.thankss alot!

Wrong also. The programming part is for you to demonstrate that you understand the theory aspect and are capable of implementing the theory into practice. If you're unable to understand the theory, then how on earth are you going to translate that into an algorithm to implement?

If i want to become a programmer, i should study CS?

cs , ce...


~~

cs more one developing/understanding/creating new concepts and improving old ones ... from MY understanding... all science courses are that in their essence.

ce more one application/problem solving/fitting a solution/designing based on known laws or info to suit market demand and generating sales/profit.


do u see the difference?
=)...

i am company.
i want sumone to take of the machines, upgrade them if neccesary, keep it running, and deploying new better systems if customers request.
i choose a ce more..

i am company
i have existing infrastructure. company is stable, now i want to up the ante and do R&D. create radically new stuff/software/algorythm/ etc...
i choose a cs more...


a simpler comparison
company needs a software to keep check of finances
a ce will say use excel. i'll help u deploy it. fast and easiest way. (engineers=easy)
a cs will say, ok i'll write u one, more efficient than excel, and stabler, and have many many new features, then i'll try and see whether can i deploy it too.

this is MY opinion. and no one elses.. correct me if their wrong.

Actually no. Computer Engineering is more towards hardware for computing. There's quite some involvement in R&D too, but more on the hardware side, or integrating with hardware.

You get system integrators or system engineers for that, not a computer engineer.

You don't get a computer engineer for that either. A business analyst will be able to do that for you.

ooo.... sorry .. haha.... so ce is more towards the low level hardware, the basics the fundamentals that make up the computer..

cs... more towards high level abstractions and algorythms?

edit:

then in wat positions/jobs/tasks do a cs and ce fit?? thank you i would want to know too.. ^^

a CE's role is rather similar to the role of an EE, just that the CE course is more specialized towards computing equipment and/or software that interacts with hardware at the low level.

CS is more versatile in the sense that the roles available are more widespread as compared to CE.

However this is not to say that somebody who did CE is not able to do the role of somebody who did CS, as this also depends a lot on what the person themselves learns on their own initiative too.

ok.. i think i get you.. ^^...

I have a question which I seriously can't solve after lots of consultation from friends and Google.

I'm an SPM leaver of pure science stream. I'm one of the types to futher study base on my interest. Computer Engineering breaks into more small family which got me more confused. I like breaking into the CPU and repairing PC. I just found out the TARC in my neighbourhood has a short course for PC & HARDWARE MAINTENANCE. But that's just short course, not Diploma.

So I've been wondering which CE course is suitable for me? And then again should I refer to Electrical/Electronical/Mechanical Engineering instead?

look at the course details. they will advice you.

Can I go for degree in computer science or software engineering after I finished my diploma in computer engineering?
