    Actually I was tempted by Political Science too. :)

      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.

      Absolutely right (and obvious I would have thought).

          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")

                Hey, I am an ICT undergraduate student in India. The program is rigorous. As the name itself suggests, ICT - Information and Communication Technology, you'll be taught courses from both the streams i.e. Information Technology and Communication Technology. So you will definitely have more knowledge than your peers but you'll have to put in a little more efforts.

                  Don't lose sight of the fact that the main purpose of what you study is to make a living. The Computer Engineering degree will probably create more opportunities for you simply because it has the boardest scope.

                    I'm not sure where you're studying, but in the states, I attended both a private and public university, and in each case, tuition per hour was the same for all subjects (though some might have lab fees and the like). Look into it.

                      My recommendation, check the subjects on all of them and choose the one that fits better what you want to do or learn.

                        I was thinking about writing some math articles on CP. I could explain the math and show some code examples where that math is applied (or some programmer at Microsoft already applied it for you). What's a better way to learn something than by writing about it yourself? I might even start to like math in the process. Could be convenient since I still have five other math courses and some AI and security classes which all use math quite extensively... So far I failed the course (re-exam next week) and banged my book against the wall in frustration damaging both the book and wall... Yeah, I'll enjoy writing those articles...

                          I had to do a re-write of the one I got zero in in order to stay on the course - even though I dropped the match and went straight computing. In those days, that meant they posted you a copy of the exam paper you had sat and said "try again - post your answers back by the end of next month and don't fail this time"

                            If you want to maintain servers and do tech support, go with IT/ICT. If you want to be a programmer, go with computer engineering. You can become a programmer with an IT degree or no degree at all, but since you are already in school, do yourself a favor and take the hardcore programming courses if programming is what you want to do. It may seem hard now, but it will make things easier for you in the long run. Don't avoid a course because it's difficult. Those are usually the best courses, the ones that will really prepare you for success. Take the hard course, because when you get out into real-world programming, it will be harder than that and you will have less support while facing greater consequences for failure.

                              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.

                              I never have understood the belief that shaking the outer container around would get the neurons inside to move better when there has never been empirical evidence that ever happens. The only thing that is evident is the satisfaction gotten by the one doing the shaking. Seems to me if the sharp end of a pickaxe could be applied without consequence instead, that would be more satisfying. So, that is what I imagine doing. Voila, temporary satisfaction imagining a better world, without consequence.

                                  I got into the IT business in 1976 by building a fence. Of course the term IT didn't exist at the time. (Or at least, it wasn't talked about.) CE wasn't a term at the time either, I had an ME degree when I was building that fence. Anyway, always be willing to learn something, you'll do fine.
