What is Computer Science Engineering?

 cs engineering

One of the most sought after courses amongst engineering students, Computer Science Engineering (CSE) is an academic programme which integrates the field of Computer Engineering and Computer Science. The programme, which emphasises the basics of computer programming and networking, comprises a plethora of topics. The said topics are related to computation, algorithms, programming languages, program design, computer software, computer hardware, etc.

Computer science engineers are involved in many aspects of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers to circuit designing and writing software that powers them.

The course is offered by technical institutes across India and Abroad at the UG (Undergraduate) and PG (Postgraduate) level where students are awarded BTech and MTech degree respectively. Students pursuing the course will be taught about design, implementation, and management of information system of computer hardware and software.

Even though CSE is one of the engineering specialisations, candidates pursuing the programme have the option of further choosing amongst various other specialisations like Telecommunication, web designing, computer hardware & software implementation & maintenance, etc.
