Engineering and fabrication

Is the course work of electrical engineering and computer engineering almost same?

Is the course work of electrical engineering and computer engineering almost same? I mean like the classes one should take in electrical engineering and computer engineering are same? And what is the difference between computer science and computer engineering? Is it just like computer science is software and computer engineering is hardware or something else?

1. Electrical engineering and computer engineering both are different branch.

   and yes for second one.



2. for your first question , the answer is NO .

   the course work is the same for all branches of engineering for the 1st semester . during second sem , there would be a couple of common subjects . after 3rd sem , there would be almost no common subjects (except electives . and , some subjects like Digital Signal Processing . ) .

   electrical engg has subjects related to electricity , electronics , control systems ,etc .

   computer egg has subjects mainly related to hardware and software .

   you can see that there is no similarity .

   As for computer science and computer engg, the former is a science course and the latter is an engineering course . Both have hardware and software , but the approach varies . engineering courses can fetch you a job rather easily . science courses are mainly for those interested in research .



3. in electrical engg. u have detail study about the transmission of electricity like wiring etc....&

   some of subject r common for electical & comp.... to give idea about ic & computer component........



4. They are not the same, differ in meaning and standards.


5. both r different.

   computer involves in software n hardware etal whereas electrical is all abt circuits n embedded systems
