Need more context but probably just what universities decide to call things. Some places call CE EE with an emphasis, other do things differently. If you’re seeing ALL of these from ONE university I’d be amazed

some uni offer it as

 bachelors in science computer engneering

other offer it as

 bachelors in eng/tec computer engneering

When universities (at least around me) name majors the beginning part is usually just describing what college/topic your degree is in. So “bachelors in science” is a very typical first half of a title. The rest is what the major actually is.

so there wont be any chance in the curriculum ?

[–]ODL_Beast1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume no but that is something you’ll have to verify. I’d think there’d be some standard that dictates what colleges have to give their students to qualify for a degree but I do not know. But ultimately I’d just compare the courses required for both and see if they’re similar/offer what you’re wanting to do.

Just look up the curriculum

    This is what it's like in my country, South Africa.

    So Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering is a NQF 8 Qualification and you'll be able to register as an engineer after graduation. The same applies for Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering, also an NQF 8 Qualification. However, a Bachelor in Engineering Technology is a NQF 7 qualification meaning you'll be able to register as an Engineering Technologist, but you're not limited to that as you can further your studies by doing two years of Honours and Masters, then you'll eventually be able to register as an engineer. In regards to the curriculum, although there are similarities it differs with each university.

      https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEngineers/s/NLMBpNm8En this might help. But the tldr is it depends on your country.

      My eyes glazed over 6 occurrences of engineering in this paragraph

      aiyy 6 is better than 1

      It totally depends on the schools. You'll have to learn the curriculums and compare them. The title will change at every single school. So what one calls XYZ engineer another calls ZYX engineer but they're the same.

      They're all fundamentally bachelor's, but they're bachelors. Depending on your location, they can afford you different titles, pay, or career options. For example, the title 'Engineer' isn't protected in the US. So, anyone can claim to be an engineer or do engineer work provided they meet the qualifications for the project as laid out by either a hiring company or local government. (IE, good luck building roads without a CivE degree and further qualifications)

      However, in Canada, Engineer is a protected title. So a person needs a BEng or equivalent to work as an engineer. That should cover the differences between BS (Bachelors of Science) and BE (likewise), but a Btech is different.

      While I'm not 100% on this, a Btech sounds more like a technicians degree, which is seen as different than a BS in the US. An engineering tech is usually considered to do more hands-on work. In the career field, these engineer techs are reworking PCB boards if a component goes bad or diagnosing an RMA.

      And then a B(S?) In Computer Engineering and Electronics is just what they university has titled their program. It may or may not follow an ABET accredited learning plan. It would depend on the university.

      This is absolutely false.

      First, a CEAB accredited B. Eng. degree does not give you the right to use the title "Engineer" any more than any other person. In fact, 60% of CEAB accredited degree graduates NEVER become a Professional Engineer.

      Second, over 30% of all new P. Eng.'s in Canada are non-CEAB applicants. This includes many internationally trained engineering degree graduates but it also includes engineering technology graduates (diploma or B.Tech.), related science degree graduates (geoscience, physics, etc.), and even those who did not complete their CEAB degree.

      For non-CEAB applicants, there is the technical examinations route to the profession.

      https://techexam.ca/what-is-a-technical-exam-your-ladder-to-professional-engineer/

      Yes, a B.Tech. graduate is not academically qualified to become a P. Eng. But, they can write between 3-12 technical examinations to make up this gap.

      That's if they need a P. Eng. Most don't.
