Speaking as a young, self taught software engineer, Googling the issue it seems that there is no straight answer yet. Lots of people shoot the idea down as it being physics but that isn't really true since:

  1. Physics is mostly about studying how the world works, not getting the most out of it
  2. Genetic engineering, highway engineering, software engineering, social engineering etc... All have little to no direct use of "pure" physics to my knowledge.

Personally I think that when theoretical engineering is defined it will have a general thinking process that goes as follows:

  • We have this starting point and this desired outcome. The relationship can be explained by this piece of notation that looks like maths but isn't.
  • We will need components that follow these not exactly mathematical behaviors.
  • And we'll combine them as described here.

Is B.Tech computer engineering B.Tech computer science are same?

Bachelor of Computer Science is a type of bachelor's degree, usually awarded after three years of collegiate study in computer science. In general Computer Science degrees emphasize the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing, rather than teaching specific technologies that may quickly become outdated. Computer Engineering (Computer Systems Engineering) is a discipline that combines both Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Computer engineers usually have training in electrical engineering, software design and hardware-software integration instead of only software engineering or electrical engineering.
