Computer Science vs Computer Engineering
As the computer developed not just in to a machine that could be used only for mathematical calculations, but also for many other purposes, the field of computer science gained its popularity. 20 years later (around 1950’s), first ever computer science degree was established. But a decade later, the community started to understand the values of workforce that could understand both how computers work and how they were integrated, and subsequently the filed of computer engineering emerged. As a result, the first ever computer engineering degree was established in early 1970’s. Both programs require a very good background of mathematics.
什么是计算机工程?
计算机工程(计算r Systems Engineering) is a discipline that combines Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Computer Engineering focuses on the knowledge required to develop computer systems. Computer Engineers typically acquire the training/education of Electrical Engineering, Software design and the integration between software and hardware components (instead of studying these fields in isolation). Thus, computer engineers posses knowledge about both the software and hardware aspects of computing, which involves the design of processors, personal computers, mobile computers, supercomputers, circuits and embedded systems. Computer engineers usually understand how things integrate in to the larger picture (on top of how things work).
Computer engineers usually develop software/firmware for various systems such as embedded microcontrollers, design VLSI microchips, analog sensors, circuit boards and operating systems. Because of the knowledge of digital systems, motors and sensors of the computer engineers, they are suitable for robotics research as well. In recent years due to the rapid increase in job requirements for engineers who can design, manage, maintain, repair computing systems, many universities offer a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering. Similar to any other engineering field, a good background in mathematics and science is absolutely important. The first ever computer engineering degree was offered by Case Western Reserve University as early as 1971. Usually, computer engineering undergraduates in their senior years specialize in a sub field under computer engineering, because full breath of knowledge of computer engineering is impossible to study within undergraduate years.
什么是计算机科学?
计算机科学(计算科学)是一门科学学科,研究了计算系统中的计算理论和实用方法。计算机科学家专注于发明创建和转换信息并创建复杂系统抽象的算法。计算机科学有许多子领域,例如计算理论,算法和数据结构,编程语言,计算机体系结构,软件工程,人工智能,计算机网络,数据库系统,并行计算,分布式系统,计算机图形,操作系统,数值/符号系统,数值/符号计算和人类计算机交互。计算机科学的总体重点是了解用于实施计算机应用程序并使用此知识来开发更好程序的程序的属性,而不是直接与信息技术职业中的计算机合作(常常被公众混淆)。
Computer science emerged as a distinct academic discipline during the 1950’s. The first ever computer science degree was offered by University of Cambridge in 1953, while Purdue University offered the first ever computer science degree program in U.S. (in 1962). Computer science degrees around the world are mainly two fold. Some programs tend to focus on the theoretical studies and teach computer programming only as a vessel for the support of other sub fields. Others tend to focus on the practice of programming rather than the theoretical aspects. They try to provide the skill set needed to enter the software industry. But both types of degrees require a deep understanding of mathematics.
What is the difference between Computer Science and Computer Engineering?
计算机科学和计算机工程之间的主要区别在于,计算机科学倾向于专注于计算的理论方面,而计算机工程倾向于专注于开发计算机系统的实际方面。计算机科学家分析计算机程序属性以提出更好的程序,而计算机工程师则分析计算机系统以开发更好的系统。计算机科学家比计算机工程师更好地了解计算理论。另一方面,计算机工程师对与计算系统相关的电气工程方面有更好的了解。
尽管这不是规则,但计算机科学家倾向于更多地进入学术界并成为教授。但是,具有编程知识的计算机科学毕业生竞争与计算机工程毕业生相同类型的软件工程工作。但是,当涉及到嵌入式系统,电信和硬件设计领域的工作时,计算机工程师始终是首选的。但是,鉴于计算机科学和工程领域最近如何相互混合,您总是会注意到,计算机工程师和计算机科学家在团队中共同努力,有时负责在需要时从事彼此的工作。此外,许多大学确实提供了一个计算机科学和工程学学位,涵盖了这两个学科的各个方面。但是,某些计算机科学课程仍然是自然科学学院的一部分,而计算机工程学位是电气和计算机工程学院提供的。
