    for computer engineering

    M school offers some computer classes,one of them is cad which i cant see using for being a computer engineer or computer science which as i would see as more useful since it actually deals with computers and not designing.

    Well, it depends on what you want to do. I'm personally still in 8th grade (:)) but I know that I'm taking some computer science and engineering classes in high school.

    So, if you want to design computer parts, go with the cad class, if you want to physically deal with computer, go with the computer science.


    P.S., Cad programs are really cool just to let you know

      wait so if i took cad that would be for actually designing the stuff while compiter science is physically dealing with the computer?

        thats what I think it would be.

        is there something that tells what each course is about?

          CAD is broadly applicable to many areas--you can use it design a septic system, bird cages, or the Intel 16-core Moorehouse Core due in Oct 2017 (provided you or someone gets around to it by then).

          If you've decided what you really like doing and what you're planning on doing, and if you think you're pretty good at it, then I've found taking other classes was always a lot more challenging and...well...fun than listening to somebody prattle on about stuff that I've already been thinking about.

            Computer engineering is things like looking at how hardware functions, designing it, and so on.

            Computer science includes things such as compression algorithms, how memory is handled, etc. There is a ****LOAD of mathematics in both, but more in computer science, I'd imagine, seeing how it is heavily tied with maths.
