Is this Computer Science or Computer Engineering?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on translating a non-English degree program titled "Engineer in Informatics" into equivalent terms recognized in Western countries, particularly in Europe. The curriculum includes a mix of mathematics, physics, programming, algorithms, data management, and specialized courses in information systems, automation, and distributed systems. Participants conclude that the program resembles a combination of Computer Science and Computer Engineering, covering both software and hardware aspects. There is reassurance that the program is comprehensive and not merely business-oriented, alleviating concerns about its rigor and relevance for those aiming for careers in science or engineering. The individual expresses a desire to succeed in this program, emphasizing the limited options available in their current location.

Hi all, I would really appreciate someone taking a guess what this program equates to in English (whether it is Computer Science, Computer Engineering, IT or something else).

I'm currently living in a non-English speaking country but will possibly be moving to Europe after graduating (my mom is European) so I'm trying to figure out what this degree would translate to in a Western country.

I've translated the curriculum to English as best I could (there may be mistakes because I'm not familiar with technical language). I just want to know what this program resembles in your opinion. Is it "computer science" or something else?

Thank you in advance! The program's name is basically "Engineer in Informatics" (which I know doesn't exist as a degree or job title in English)

Looks like a combination of both Computer Science and Computer Engineering.

Traditionally Computer Science is software oriented. Apart from introductory logic, number bases, circuits & gates, it mainly deals with algorithms, data structures, language (low level, high level), compiler design, simulations, game theory, etc.

Computer Engineering is hardware oriented. Design, layout, topology, thermal considerations, power management, chip design.

Your course outline covers all the above and more.

Thanks so much! That's very good news. So this would be like having a double major? I was afraid this might be a fluffy program or something that was more geared toward going into business (I would rather be a scientist or engineer than do that). I'm not very tech savvy at the moment but hopefully will be able to keep up with this program as universities where I am are few and far between and this seems like one of my best options.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
