Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]

Oppose merge[edit]

I think these articles should be kept separate. There is a problem of definition here: Computer Engineering is both a specific professional area of expertise AND the name of a course of study at higher institutions. Computer Science and Engineering is primarily the name of a course of study, although it could be taken to be a general field of expertise encompassing both Computer Science and Computer Engineering. I think we should be careful to keep these definitions separate.--Aervanath's signature is boring 04:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree entirely. I removed the merge tag. --Eruhildo (talk) 02:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

EECS should not redirect here[edit]

Why does EECS redirect here? “Computer science and engineering” is really a different kind of department from EECS as extant in universities these days.

For example CSE does not include the EE fields of power electronics, control theory, or Kalman filters as it does at MIT, Cornell and other top rated schools.

EECS is the union of EE and CS, and EE alone contains subfields not contained in CSE. R3xso3 (talk) 01:05, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
