Description


Computer Science and Engineering is the science and engineering of solving problems with computers. It is a young discipline positioned at the crossroads of many fields in mathematics, science and engineering and binds theory, abstraction, and design of computing devices, programs, and systems that solve a variety of problems in just about all areas of human endeavor. Computer science and engineering encompasses the methodology, tools and techniques, and theory of how information is derived, stored, manipulated, and communicated. Because of its importance to our world, computer science and engineering is an extremely exciting field of study that continues to grow at a rapid pace.
