'''Computer Science and Engineering''' ('''CSE''') is an academic subject comprising approaches of [[computer science]] and [[computer engineering]]. There is no clear division in computing between science and engineering, just like in the field of [[materials science and engineering]]. However, some classes are historically more related to computer science (e.g. data structures and algorithms), and other to computer engineering (e.g. computer architecture). CSE is also a term often used in [[Europe]] to translate the name of technical or [[engineering informatics]] academic programs. It is offered in both [[Undergraduate education|undergraduate]] as well [[Postgraduate education|postgraduate]] with specializations.<ref name="mit-6- 3">{{Cite web|title=Computer Science and Engineering (Course 6-3) < MIT|url=http://catalog.mit.edu/degree-charts/computer-science-engineering-course-6-3/|access-date=2021-10-31|website=catalog.mit.edu}}</ref>

'''Computer Science and Engineering''' is the discipline formed by the union of [[Computer Science]] and [[Computer Engineering]].

Academic programs vary between universities, but typically include a combination of topics in computer science, computer engineering <ref>{{Cite web|title=Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering – Ajman University|url=https://www.ajman.ac.ae/en/academics/academic-programs-majors/programs/bachelor-of-science-in-computer-engineering|website=Ajman University|access-date=2025-08-18}}</ref> and [[Electronic engineering|Electronics engineering]].

Computer Science & Engineering, better known as CSE is one of the demanding subjects nowadays. A good number of students ar currently studying CSE at the best Universities of the world. Probably it's the only branch of Engineering Study that offers chances to be both Engineer and Scientist. CSE is one of the top-demanding subjects as more people are forwarding to the ICT related jobs. CSE offers a good probability of success at the ICT line as both an engineer and a scientist.

Possibilities

CSE opens the door of programming. Those who dreams to be computer programmers can chose CSE to cherish the dream. As a programmer one can join the ACM ICPC Contests[[ACM ICPC]] which is one of the prestigious contests to prove one's programming skill. Thus studying CSE can offer to learn programming language like C, C++, Java, Fortran, Pascal, Basic etc.

Another important branch of CSE is Networking, which is a on-demand profession of the century. CSE offers courses like mastering Web-development languages such as PHP, HTML etc. Database (MySQL, Oracle, ASP) are also parts of CSE.

The summary is, CSE can be any body's choice looking forward to becoming a programmer, or creative scientists or engineers. Sharp skill in Mathematics is one of the prerequisite to study CSE.

'''Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology'''

At present, Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) offers BSc in CSE. Thousands of students after passing the Higher-Secondary Certificate Examination attends the admission test against 120 limited seats.

The following courses are included at the major subjects of CSE:
