  1. University of Bridgeport Computer Science & Engineering Department of Computer Science and Engineering Dr. Khaled M. Elleithy Open House October 26, 2002

  2. University of Bridgeport Computer Science & Engineering Outline • Opening comments • What to look for when visiting universities • Computer Science vs. Computer Engineering • CSE Profile • Job Prospects and Opportunities • Summation

  3. Opening comments • What is the definition of an engineer? Someone who solves a problem you didn't know you had in a way you don't understand. • Normal people vs. engineers * Normal people ... believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. * Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

  4. Opening comments • Different disciplines >> The graduate with a Science degree asks, “Why does it work” >> The graduate with an Engineering degree asks, "How does it work?" >> The graduate with an Accounting degree asks, “How much will it cost?”

  5. University of Bridgeport Computer Science & Engineering What to Look for When Visiting Universities • Faculty – who teaches the courses, access to them • Facilities – who can use them, availability, dorm connections • General environment • What do the graduates do?

  6. University of Bridgeport Computer Science & Engineering What to Look for When Visiting Universities (con’t) • Class size • Co-op or internship programs, on-campus work study • Many other things

  7. Software & Hardware Interaction Example satellite transponder remote PC Internet receiver video interface server robotic manipulator

  8. University of Bridgeport Computer Science & Engineering Computer Science vs. Computer Engineering • CS tends to be more SW-related, mathematical, in some cases • more theoretical • CpE is a cross between EE and CS, more applied, tends to be more • HW-oriented
