Hi, May I know you prefer more to calculation (logic) or more to theoretical? If you were interested in computing better off and pay a visit to APIIT since their institution offered the subject almost pure in IT but they didn't offered computer science course. Last time when I study computer engineering at TARC, I love the lecturer because they willing to help but I surprise that my programming lecturer cannot solve the error in my Java Programming. Everything is normal just the facilities is a little bit outdated and the syllabus you going to learn is not updated.

QUOTE(cks2k2 @ Apr 6 2009, 11:06 PM) APIIT is IT-heavy, but doesn't have CS IIRC. You mention outdated syllabus - at TARC or APIIT? CS syllabus has not changed much in the last few decades. There is both calculation and theoretical stuff in CS. I already mention earlier that APIIT doesn't provide CS except Software Engineering. Outdated facilities that I mention is TARC but no worries since they're doing parallel update right now. For the moment almost 20% of the computer laboratory enjoying the new system but the software doesn't seem to be much different since I know most of the software is provided by MSDNAA. CS focus more on calculation rather than theoretical because CS student's are train to know more about logic flow not managing flow. Although both Computer Science and Software Engineering is in a single IT family but the path they going to walk in future is slightly different.  This theory is similar to green apple and red apple, both is in apple categories but the taste for green is sour and the taste for red is sweet.

QUOTE(KHOdin @ Apr 6 2009, 11:43 PM) actually i dont like math but i can do well in math mostly 80 marks+ but add math nono  any one can give me an example for CE ? what is my way to move in future if taking CE ? any project is related to CE ? Why don't you ask Auntie Wiki instead? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_engineering

QUOTE(cks2k2 @ Apr 6 2009, 11:47 PM) That's not true. CS is freakin' heavy on theoretical stuff - the calculation is there to help formalize the theory. Have you ever done algorithm subjects before? I don't get the logic flow not managing flow part - explain pls. TS: CE ppl usually be doing stuff like circuit design, systems design etc. Algorithms is more to logic not theory, I just ask my TARC lecturer through MSN.  Logic is something like when you were calculating Fibonacci in algorithm, beside than a single way you could always find the alternative way to solve statement. If something were happen infront how it gonna go next, to right or left?? else turn back?? Theory is something like a fact that has proven true and must follow the law of how it work and how it be. Alternative could be substitute thou we mainly focus on fact. This post has been edited by WingKalimdor: Apr 6 2009, 11:55 PM

QUOTE(cks2k2 @ Apr 6 2009, 11:59 PM) Let's see... ask him about: 1. Turing machine, Chomsky hierarchy, PDA, FSA etc 2. algorithm analysis and efficiency: the whole P, NP, halting problem etc 3. FLP, 2 generals problem, Byzantine generals problem, consistency models etc These are all fundamental CS theories. You need good logic to understand them, to say algorithm is logic but less theory is wrong. Theory tells you what is possible and what is not. No offend but we need to undergo the step in a single chart and even in turing machine, there is a rules that we must follow in order to let S0 > S1. That is the most important part that student must understand. I've never said less theory, just it's more focus on practical even same concept in programming language, there were a theory in programming but who care, as long as you can build a program with the logic you understand. Sorry I'm not gonna list down all the thing that I can found inside my textbook and internet, it makes me kinda idiot. This post has been edited by WingKalimdor: Apr 7 2009, 12:35 AM
