In this video I discuss computer science vs computer engineering. Computer science and computer engineering have many similarities but also some big differences. Computer science majors learn more about software while computer engineers learn more about hardware. In terms of the curriculum, computer science majors go on to take classes on algorithms and computation, whereas computer engineers take circuits and electronics classes. Both majors use a lot of math but computer science majors use more discrete math, while computer engineers use more algebra and calculus level math (that you're used to). Computer scientists really won't see calculus much in their curriculum.
