Jain) 8 49 Computer Science deals with algorithms for processing data, the symbolic representation of data and instructions, the design of instruction languages for processing data, techniques for writing software that process data on a variety of computing platforms, protocols for communicating data reliably and securely across Computer networks, the organization of data in databases of various types and scales, Science ? the emulation of human intelligence and learning through computer algorithms, statistical modeling of data in large databases to support inference of trends, and techniques for protecting the content and authenticity of data. Therefore, computer scientists are scientists and mathematicians who develop ways to process, interpret, store, communicate, and secure data. Computer scientists have to understand exactly how and why computers work the way they do. 51 CS1001_Introduction to Profession (Dr. V. K. Jain) 9 The discipline of computer engineering combines and integrates several different fields, including electrical engineering, computer programming, electronics, and computer hardware development. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems work but also how they integrate into larger systems. Computer engineers focus much more on the applied aspects of computer hardware, computer systems, and electrical Computer engineering and don’t typically delve into computational theory. Emphasis is placed on the “big picture” of how things work, and Engineering ? the relationships between hardware and software. This allows engineers to create products that benefit people, businesses, and the environment, such as new robotics and electronics, more resilient computer hardware for military applications, or more efficient smart products that use less energy. Computer engineering is essentially a multi-disciplinary field that bridges both computer science and electrical engineering via hands-on design, prototyping, development, and testing. 53 Computer scientists are generally more interested in the analysis and manipulation of data, software application development, database systems, artificial intelligence, and Computer computational theory. Although computer engineers may also write software and Science handle data, the field of computer engineering is generally more focused on the development of physical computing v/s components, circuitry, electronics, robotics, and embedded systems. Computer For Example: Smart Watch Engineering A computer scientist may understand and develop the software that makes the watch work. Meanwhile, a computer engineer may develop the physical components, such as the display, motherboard, processor, battery, physical user interface, etc. Both require problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and troubleshooting. And both must often work together, along with other skilled specialists, to create a finished, working prototype. 55 CS1001_Introduction to Profession (Dr. V. K. Jain) 10
