    Without seeing the complete details of each course we cannot answer the question. Choose the one that contains the most interesting subject matter for you.

      Mine was called "Computer Science" (well, it started off as "Maths and Computer Science" but I discovered that I hated the Maths side after all and failed all the maths exams at teh end of year one) That dates me! (Get it in before someone else does: "Well, it's not as if anyone else would")

      We did a few maths components too. The one in the first year was supposed to be an introduction to the maths techniques needed and was an open book exam. Anyone not getting 100% should have been slapped round the head with the book, cos it was clearly no use to them for any other purpose.

        Computer Engineering is the one you want to do, it will be the most interesting/in depth course. IT will be a lot of PC system administration and a bit of programming probably, IT will be dull as hell and along the lines of "This is how you type in Word". I've done all 3 so I have experience. :)

          I think that's what Richard is saying: google probably won't help - you need to look at the specific school and see what the courses it offers involve.

            I study computer programming in a government scholarship for 2 years All we study in that scholarship is all computer programming, just a little basic in some computer, database, networking etc. I'm going to enroll next school year as a freshmen. There are 3 course that I want ComEng, IT, ICT I think Computer Engineer is the most difficult, so I'm thinking the what is better between that two ICT or IT

                Physics, my dear. The rationale is:

                • Once you have masterd QED, you can easily learn how to code.
                • Even if you have not mastered QED but have just some insight into, still you can easily learn coding.
                • Not matter if you didn't understand QED at all, still you might easily learn to code.

                :-D

                  Probably means it's a good course then! :laugh: Seriously: you are going to take "somebodies" word for actual values of tuition fees? Check them yourself! They may even vary from college to college...

                              My degree was called Information Technology when I did it. It was a mixture of programming (including assembly), electrical engineering, communication theory, other stuff. Surely what a course is called is irrelevant, it is what the content is that matters and different places will use different names for the same content or the same name with different content.

                              I agree with that. You should get the classes which are taught in each case and see what course better suits your needs.

                                I did a degree in Information Systems back in 1988. The course was mainly programming, database design and user interface design(somehow the sociology department at the University also managed to squeeze in some of the pointless theoretical history of organisation philosophy) - this was before the days of the worldwide web. It served me well and if you can, ensure that the course you take covers those three areas - whatever it is named does not count for much.

                                        I study computer programming in a government scholarship for 2 years All we study in that scholarship is all computer programming, just a little basic in some computer, database, networking etc. I'm going to enroll next school year as a freshmen. There are 3 course that I want ComEng, IT, ICT I think Computer Engineer is the most difficult, so I'm thinking the what is better between that two ICT or IT

                                        What???

                                        I guess it would depend on your interests. I took up IT on a university from our province and it pretty much covered the essential things with regards to computers. But it focused more on programming. Never heard of ICT though. I'm not sure if the curriculum also applies on those reputed computer schools (STI, AMA, etc) here in our country. I guess it differs from school to school. Try to ask for the subjects for the courses and see if it fits your interests.

                                          Mine was called "Computer Science" (well, it started off as "Maths and Computer Science" but I discovered that I hated the Maths side after all and failed all the maths exams at teh end of year one) That dates me! (Get it in before someone else does: "Well, it's not as if anyone else would")

                                          I knew I couldn't be the only one! It's not really my fault though. I think they replaced my math books with Egyptian... :~

                                          It's an OO world.

                                          public class Sander : Lazy<Person>{
                                          public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
                                          }
