Which degree do you think is more valued a Computer Science or a Computer Engineering?
A lot of debate is around these two words. What do you think about these two streams?

Who knows scopus journals in free computer engineering and programming.

It depends on the career objectives. If it's more towards the design and building hardware then computer engineering is more relevant. On the other hand, computer science mainly targets those who wish to work in analyzing, designing and developing software systems. Of course, there are always some intersections between both disciplines but they are mainly distinguished this way.

Dear Neesha Rajkarnikar,
I somewhat share the opinion of the first speaker, it depends on what he can do and like or have the taste to do it. The computer field requires a lot of mathematics with all these logics and tools dedicated to analysis while computer engineering is hardware with a lot of electronics and the realization of card architecture and powerful processors. Of course, the two areas are complementary and share common spaces and resources.

You are going the find plenty of jobs in both carriers. Computer Science is incredible, and you will find a job everywhere. Computer engineering can provide you with a different experience during your undergrad course. I mean, you will have a strong background in electronics, circuit analysis, microelectronics, and Computer Science courses.
I think that you only need to go to Computer Engineering if you feel interested in hardware: electronics, circuit analysis, microelectronics, and so on. Otherwise, be focused on the fantastic course: Computer Science.

Computer Science started as a branch of Mathematics, while Computer Engineering began (and still is considered by some) as a branch of Electrical Engineering.
Computer Science students learn about computing theory, programming, environments, algorithms, data security and transfer, etc. Computer Engineering students discover how to develop, prototype, and test microchips, circuits, processors, conductors and any other components used in computer devices or systems (e.g. supercomputers, smartphones, laptops, servers, IoT gadgets). They also develop the firmware, an essential type of software that allows operating systems and applications to take full advantage of the hardware.
Computer scientists work with computational theories, powerful algorithms, and mathematical models which are used to develop software programmes and systems. Computer engineers, on the other hand, develop the hardware and firmware on which software and systems run.
Many different abbreviations are used when referring to Computer Science vs Computer Engineering: CS vs CE/CEN, CompScience vs CompEngineering, CompSci vs CompE, CpS vs CpE.

It depends on what the subjects he was interested in and what the career he is going to choose in future.

A computer-focused degree can open a lot of doors: not only in the tech world but in healthcare, retail, entertainment, and other industries as well. The market for computer scientists is growing much more quickly than the aggregate job market; the same is true for jobs in cyber security, information systems management, and niche tech fields like machine learning and robotics. Computing jobs may no longer be the number one source of new wages in the US, but qualified computer experts remain in high demand. And, all those jobs in computer science and computer engineering are among the most lucrative out there.

Hi Neesha Rajkarnikar,
As mentioned before, it really depends on career objectives. If talking about economic values or income; most of times I find that computer engineering can provide you a higher income. Also, as with almost every engineer degree, you can work on different fields that require engineering knowledge. I believe that computer science is more narrowed towards coding only. Therefore, you cannot work as engineer. Nevertheless, with a C.E. degree you can work as a coder.

Computer Science and Engineering. Always professional course is good in all the aspects. But the student needs to utilize those 4years very effectively to enhance their career. Otherwise, CS/CSE is merely a waste for them.
