{{short description|University academic program}}

'''Computer Science and Engineering''' is an engineering disciple,which focus on the subject "COMPUTER",from hardware to software, and is taught across most universities in South Asia. Some of the most prominent ones are the India Institute of Technologies. Most universities offer B.Tech (Computer Science and Engineering) as bachelor degree and M.Tech(Computer Science and Engineering) as post graduate degree.

'''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>

== Academic courses ==

Candidates enrolled for the discipline are required to study basics of all core engineering along with papers from the main subject. Engineering Mathematics is also given prime importance.

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]]. [[Undergraduate education|Undergraduate]] courses usually include subjects like [[Computer programming|programming]], [[algorithms]] and [[data structures]], [[computer architecture]], [[operating systems]], [[computer networks]], [[embedded systems]], [[algorithmics|Design and analysis of algorithms]], [[Network analysis (electrical circuits)|circuit analysis]] and [[electronics]], [[digital logic]] and design, [[software engineering]], [[database|database systems]] and core subjects of theoretical computer science such as [[theory of computation]], [[numerical methods]], [[machine learning]], [[programming language theory|programming theory]] and [[Programming paradigm|paradigms]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-08-08|title=GATE CS 2021 (Revised) Syllabus|url=https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/gate-cs-2021-revised-syllabus/|access-date=2021-06-20|website=GeeksforGeeks|language=en}}</ref> Modern academic programs also cover emerging computing fields like [[Artificial intelligence]], [[image processing]], [[data science]], [[robotics]], [[bio-inspired computing]], [[Internet of things]], [[autonomic computing]] and [[Computer security|Cyber security]] .<ref>{{cite web|title=Courses in Computer Science and Engineering {{!}} Paul G.
