ComputerScience/ComputerEngineering...big difference?
I was reading up about purdue and learned that their computer science department was low grade while their computer engineering department was like 10th in the nation - is this the case at Maryland?

Oh and yeah... In Computer Engineering, they take you more towards the hardware side. In Computer Science, you do theoretical stuff like programming, system analysis/design, understanding networks, bits and bytes, system infrastructure and working, etc.

Haha great! Finally I found someone going for CS!

So tell me about you man.... Your stats?
They do not consider the SAT for the CS major, and thats the best part

My S is also in the CS dept. Double major CS and Math. Who knows whether that's the final direction.
