Computer Science vs Computer Engineering Course - What are the key differences?

Computer science and computer engineering are two distinct fields of study that are often confused with each other. Although they share some similarities, they differ in several key areas. Here are the main differences between computer science and computer engineering courses: Focus of Study: Computer science focuses on the theory, design, and implementation of computer software and hardware. It involves the study of algorithms, programming languages, operating systems, databases, and computer architecture. Computer engineering, on the other hand, focuses on the design, development, and maintenance of computer hardware and software systems. It involves the study of digital electronics, computer architecture, programming, and computer network. Core Subjects: Computer science courses typically cover subjects such as programming languages, data structures, algorithms, computer organization, operating systems, and software engineering. Computer engineering courses, on the other hand, cover

System Unit Explained - Random Access Memory (RAM)

Image
The Random Access Memory or RAM acts as temporary storage as long as the computer is running. The contents of the RAM change as programs are executed. RAM gives applications a place to store and access data on a short-term basis. It stores the information your computer is actively using so that it can be accessed quickly. Unlike HDD or SDD's, the memory in RAM is erased once the computer is turned off. 3 Basic Types of RAM Dynamic RAM (DRAM) – This kind of RAM needs to be recharged by the CPU. If not, it loses its contents. There are many variations of DRAM such as: Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) – faster than DRAM because it is synchronized to the system clock Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM – faster than SDRAM because they transfer data twice for each clock cycle DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM – faster than DDR SDRAM Rambus DRAM (RDRAM) – type of DRAM faster than SDRAM that uses pipelining techniques Static RAM (SRAM) – This kind is faste

System Unit Explained - Power and Motherboard

Image
As a future IT support specialist, we need to identify the different parts of a computer that we will be assembling, repairing or upgrading. It is necessary for us to identify its name and its function. In this lesson, we will discuss the different parts of a computer's system unit. The System Unit is the overall structure that houses the processor, memory, and electronic components of the computer that are used to process data. All input and output devices are connected into the system unit. The system unit is housed by what is known as system case or computer case. It holds and protects most components of a computer. Image courtesy of freepik The Computer Case contains the framework to support and enclose internal components of the computer. It helps to prevent damage from static electricity. It typically made up of plastic, steel, and aluminum which are available in a variety of styles. The size and layout of a case is called a form fact

Types of Computer

Image
Before we can assemble/disassemble and repair computers we need to understand what a computer is and the different types of computer.  By definition, a computer is an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program.   Types of Computer   Types of Computers Supercomputer Most powerful and most advance in terms of performance and data processing. These computers are commonly used by large organizations to conduct specific tasks such as weather forecasting, research, and exploration. Ex. IBM’s Mira in United States. IBM’s Sequoia in United States Mainframce Computer Large and expensive computer capable of handling thousands of users and programs simultaneously. Mainframe computers can handle, process, and store large amount of data. These are commonly stored in large air-conditioned rooms because of its big size. Mini Comput
