== Academic courses ==

Academic programs vary between colleges, but typically include a combination of topics in computer science, computer engineering, and [[electrical engineering]]. [[Undergraduate education|Undergraduate]] courses usually include [[Computer programming|programming]], [[algorithms]] and [[data structures]], [[computer architecture]], [[operating systems]], [[computer networks]], [[parallel computing]], [[embedded systems]], [[algorithmics|algorithms design]], [[Network analysis (electrical circuits)|circuit analysis]] and [[electronics]], [[digital logic]] and [[Processor (computing)|processor]] design, [[computer graphics (computer science)|computer graphics]], [[scientific computing]], [[software engineering]], [[database|database systems]], [[digital signal processing]], [[virtualization]], [[computer simulation]]s and [[game programming|games]] programming. CSE programs also include 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 [[image processing]], [[data science]], [[robotics]] or robotics & AI<ref>{{cite web |title=BTech Artificial Intelligence and Robotics |url=https://www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in/degree-programmes/btech-artificial-intelligence-and-robotics.php#syllabus-outline|website=brainwareuniversity.ac.in}}</ref>, [[bio-inspired computing]], [[computational biology]], [[autonomic computing]] and [[artificial intelligence]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Courses in Computer Science and Engineering {{!}} Paul G.
