There are Associated Degree (U.S.A.) and Professional Certification available for Computer programming. But you don't need to have one to be a programmer, and have any of those (AA degree or certification) does not mean that you can or should program, either!!

Computer Science major is NOT the only way to learn computer programming. There should be courses available for non-computer science majors.

Can someone do computer enginering and computer programming?

Computer engineering does require you to know how to program and your definitely going to do programming with computer engineering. As for a double major in Computer engineering and computer science, it depends on your school. But it may overlap each other a lot that it may not be offered as a double major. Ask your school advisor.


What engineering majors contain the least amount of programming in terms of writing code for every programming language class like C plus plus and VB?

Basically, anything that is not a major in computer science, programming, or something similar, will only contain (at the most) a few introductory courses in computer programming - nothing very advanced. The details will most likely vary from one country to another, and within one country, from one college to another.


What are the two major types of programming languages in c plus plus?

Object oriented programming and structured programming.


Benefits in studying master of computer applications?

There are benefits in almost every career you choose. Ultimately, it depends on your interest. If you like programming, then Software Engineering is the perfect choice for you. Plus, the average wage of a software engineer is quite high and they are currently in high demand throughout US and Canada.


What is diff between computer engineering and computers science engineering?

In computer science and software engineering;Here is a quick overview of the three computing majors that our department offers. I teach primarily software engineering courses so it may be a bit biased.1. Computer Science covers the core concepts and technologies involved with how to make a computer do something. Learning to program a computer by writing software is essential, and computer programming is used in most computer science courses. You will learn details about how computers and networks work, but with an emphasis on how software and programming languages work. You will learn how to make them do very sophisticated things (e.g. graphics, robotics, databases, operating systems). You will also learn about the theory behind how and why computers and software work. In your senior project, you will tackle a problem at the frontier of computer science. You may be building a new system, discovering better ways to design software, or developing new algorithms for projects in entirely different fields; it's up to you. Past student projects include: Video Games, computer modeling and animation tools, and a Linux driver for the Wii remote.2. Computer Engineering teaches you how to design systems that include both computer hardware and software. You will take classes on how computer hardware works and how to build a computer. You'll take software classes with an emphasis on hardware-related software such as device drivers and operating systems. Computer engineering courses are taught by faculty from both the computer science and the electrical engineering departments. Working computer engineers design computers and the basic software that runs them, including both personal computers and the "embedded" computer systems that run cars, aircraft, videogames, etc.3. Software Engineering focuses on how to design and build software in teams. You will take many of the same courses as you would in computer science, but you will take additional courses that teach you about topics like requirements engineering, software architecture, software testing, and software deployment. You will learn about working with people (communication, management, working with non-technical customers), processes for developing software, and how to measure and analyze the software product and the software process. The software engineering major requires that you take a three course (nine-month long) sequence called the software engineering capstone. The capstone courses are centered around a large project for an outside customer. In recent years we have built web applications for Intuit (makers of Quicken, QuickBooks, and TurboTax) and Amgen (a bio-engineering/pharmaceutical company). Students work in teams of four or five people to elicit and develop requirements for the system, design an architecture, build prototypes, implement the system, then deploy and maintain the system.Answer-Computer Science- Computer science is becoming a rapidly growing discipline as the technological age advances. Computer scientists believe that computers are a fundamental part of the world and that an age will come when everybody has several computers. It is a more complex field than simply building computers or writing programs. Computer scientists study problems to determine if they can be computed, compare algorithms to decide on the best solution, create programming languages to express these algorithms, design and build computer systems to execute specifications from research, and apply algorithms to application domains, or sets of software systems that share design features.Software Engineering- Software engineering is the computer science discipline concerned with developing large applications. Software engineering covers not only the technical aspects of building software systems, but also management issues, such as directing programming teams, scheduling, and budgeting.

Would information systems/technology studies get me into programming?

You should make computer science or information systems as your major. You can also major in software or computer programming.


Master's degree in computer science?

There are many people who choose to get a master's degree in computer science. There are a number of colleges and universities that offer computer science as a master's major.


Is it true that if you are good at mathematics but not programming you will fail computer science?

No, you probably won't fail computer science. Probably. Mathematics involves logic and problem solving - which is a major part of computer science. Although programming is also a big part of computer science, there are quite a lot of branches to do with computers, and you don't necessarily have to work with programming. I'm good at maths and not so good at programming but I still did pretty well (better than all the hard-core programmers) in the computer science / programming class. If that's any consolation.

Where can I go to school in order to become a computer programmer?

AnswerComputer science degrees entail the study of programming, network administration, and database management. An ideal computer science degree should furnish the student with theoretical as well as practical knowledge of aforementioned subjects. This must be your criterion when you are zeroing on a CS degree program. CollegeAmerica has a good CS curriculum which is a blend of comprehensive computer science courses. They are accredited by the ACCSC and prepare you for certifications along with your degree. Check out their website to learn more.
