Electrical Engineering (EE) and Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) are distinct fields of study with some overlap, but they differ in focus and applications:
-
Core Focus:
- Electrical Engineering deals with the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power, as well as the design of electrical systems and devices. It includes areas such as power systems, electronics, circuits, control systems, and electromagnetism.
- Computer Science & Engineering, on the other hand, focuses on the design, development, and application of software and hardware systems. It covers programming, algorithms, data structures, computer networks, artificial intelligence, and system architecture.
-
Applications:
- EE professionals work in power generation, automation, telecommunication, and electronics.
- CSE professionals work in software development, web development, cybersecurity, data science, and AI.
-
Skillset:
- EE requires knowledge of electrical circuits, physics, and hardware design.
- CSE requires strong programming skills, knowledge of algorithms, and software engineering principles.
