Computer Science programs tend to concentrate on individual assignments, dealing with the development of systems such as databases, compilers, and operating systems.But Computer engineering is anchored in real-world problems. Because Computer engineers apply professional judgment acquired through practical experience, their training is hands-on, project focused and team-centered.
