What are the requirements for computer engineering?
This depends on the university you applied university. Basically you need a higher qualification in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics. If you do not have these mentioned qualifications, some other universities offer a foundation course for undergraduates, then you can enrol the foundation course and after you can start the degree program. If you have a computer-related higher diploma, you do not need to follow the full degree program.
Computer Engineering Degree online?
Yes. If you can’t attend the physical classes. You can follow it online. Some other universities are flexible. Ex:
· Florida International University
· Southern New Hampshire University
· University of West Alabama Online
Course fees and some other essential information are given to you in the upcoming articles. If you are interested it comment me.

Computer Engineering vs Computer Science
Finally, at the End of this article, I hope you get the fair answer to this common question of many students. Computer science mainly focuses on the fundamentals of theoretical and software components of the computer. They are deeply learning about the theoretical fundamentals, and computer engineering consists of computer hardware and software components. Computer engineering involves deeply learning about the computer hardware as well.
If you want more information, I recommend you follow these key points: their focus, Curriculum, Career Paths and skills, then you can gain a great understanding about this difference.
Look at this table:
| Computer Science | Computer Engineering | |
| Degree | B.S. in Computer Science | B.S. in Computer Engineering |
| Knowledge | Basically focused on software and | Basically focused on hardware and electronics |
| Core areas | programming, Algorithms, databases, data structures, AI | Circuits, microprocessors, Digital logic, embedded systems, |
| Career opportunity | AI/ML engineer, Software developer, data scientist, | Hardware developer, Embedded systems engineer, firmware dev |
