Computer Engineering vs Computer Science?
I'm really, really confused about these two. I'm in my senior year of High School and I have decided that I would like to major in the computer department.
I love Math but I'm terrified of Physics
I'm more on the side of Software Engineering. I love programming (Java, current year)
Chemistry is quite easy as well for me, if that matters
Also, if you say Computer Engineering, does that go into the field of
a) Math, Computer and information sciences
b) Engineering
I only get these two options on any websites where I choose my future courses for University, so I'd like to know.
Thank you!

Computer engineering was introduced as a specialized version of electrical engineering. Computer engineering deals with both software and hardware, and is geared more towards the computation system and the software necessary for its operation, and less on the applications that run on top of the operating system. Computer engineering is in the engineering department. So, if you want to do strictly software, or enjoy applications programming most, go with computer science. If you want to learn more about the hardware and the computer operating system, device drivers, etc, then computer engineering is for you. Good luck to you.
Look at their Engineering division. They will wreck down the special curriculums and one will have to be pc engineering. Also, ask the Admissions administrative center at the tuition and tell them what you want. They may be able to direct u to the correct department.
