Which one should I take between computer engineering and computer science to be a Hacker?

frankly - you don't need to take either of those. \n\nhowever if you are more focussed on becoming a hacker, then choose the major that has MAXIMUM PROGRAMMING involved. \n\nhere's a useful link that'll get u started\nhttp://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html#respect1

BSc if you're interested in Science.\nBCA if you're interested in Computers.

All depents on the University or College u are applying to, get their program and course descriptions.\nGenerally speaking Comp Sci is all about code and programming where copm Eng is heavily dased on more problem solving using comp languages.\nFor webdesign you would probably need niether of them.

Computer science is a course where they tell you the basics of everything i mean basic to advance of different language.\n\nE.g\n- java\n- php\n- vb\n- msql\n- etc etc etc\n\nWhile in information technology they teach you 2-3 language but only basic - intermediate and they also teaches analytical things like business process of a certain project. They also do this in comsci but not as detailed as what they give to infotech. \n\nInfo tech is more business oriented while comsci is more of the technical side...\n\nYou want to be a hacker and your a beginner... Here figure this out 1st then imma teach you some stuffs...\n\n1 + 1 = 1 <-- Yes this is true...\n\nWhy on earth would you like to be a hacker? Darn it! kids this days! sheeeeeesh!

As I've seen it, Computer Science focuses greatly on the theoretical aspects of computers. The algotithms, math, etc. Software Engineers typically focus more on the creation of a product.\n\nExample, going into my third year of Computer Science I've been asked to only write a handful of useful programs. My friend going into his third year of Software Engineering has wrote software which could actually be distributed to people. He just has no idea what the hell he's doing.

maybe civil engineering. but Tech is fairly dead unless your living in south east asia, or from india. \nand the more math you know, the easier computer science courses tend to be. \n\nYou should REALLY consider the Health care industry. they get paid a lot of money and they have a growing need, while tech is seriously declining or being outsourced to foreign countries.

If u wish to join govt service, u should go for Computer Science to avoid any misunderstanding. As far as industry are concerened both r equal

Their are multiple fields in Computers:Systems Analysis and Design,Auditing,Programming,Networking,Telecommunications. It depends on the target field really. And of course,your interest

The whole key is the field of choice.  You are not sharing this information with us.  It is one thing to get a degree in computer science and look for a job.  It is another thing to get a degree in history and look for a job.  You should pick the job before you pick the major.

Well, my dad is a computer professor! You can become an engineer if you want. Just make sure that the job you choose is a job you can put up with for about 15 years. Good luck!

I believe so. I am a computer engineer and the year I graduated from college computer engineers had one of the highest average starting salaraes (2004). 10k more than Computer Science. As a computer engineer you have many more options that a strict computer scientist, or a strict electrical engineer.

Computer science is research and development into new algorithms, and research into the capabilities of Turing machines.  This is to be distinguished from software engineering, which is the application of existing algorithms to real-world problems.

i think computer engineering are very demanding today..coz now everything are very hi-tech now...i think COM-E its better but i dont really know if you like COM-E.

What is your specialty?  What do you do best in Computer Sciences?  If that's programming in C, then you should write a program.  If you're good at building computers, then build a computer.  If you're good at wiring up a network, then build a network.\n\nYou have to determine what it is that you do best and then craft a project around where your skills lie.

I wud not say this is better than this.. It all depends on ur interest.. both have the same scope.. IT is about hardware n software.. but computer sci eng. is more of software & less of hardware..

In Computer science they mostly teach the software stuff, and in engineering you get to do a lot of electronics.

How to become a hacker, from asking that question many months ago when I wanted to find out more than just emailing, chatting and the usual norm (millions of average users do) I quickly improved my web searching skills and found out for myself. Some "hackers" say, "Start with C/C++, Python, Perl, and so on..." each person might have in their own opinion what you should start with.\n\nDefinition of a hacker: Originally, a hacker was a term of respect, used among computer programmers, designers, and engineers. The hacker was one who created original and ingenious programs. Unfortunately, the current popular meaning of the term is used to describe those who break into systems, destroy data, steal copyrighted software, and perform other destructive or illegal acts with computers and networks.\n\nStart out by learning networking and programming those are minimal basics, a "hacker" is supposed to know a great deal about computers, how they work, how networks works, ...etc and also know  to code "The hacker was one who created original and ingenious programs."\n\nThe best advice I can give you is learn all you can about computers, networks, programming, find information on forums, message boards, and websites.\n\nIf you just read all those "hacking" tutorials (I'm not saying their useless, just something you can try  experiments with on your own) your just going to become a script kiddie (occasionally script bunny, script kitty or skiddie) is a derogatory term for inexperienced crackers who use scripts and programs developed by others without knowing what they are or how they work for the purpose of compromising computer accounts and files, and for launching attacks on whole computer systems (see DoS). \nIn general, they do not have the ability to write these kinds of programs on their own. Such programs have included WinNuke applications, Back Orifice, and Sub7.\n\nLearn as much as you can and maybe you will become a hacker.If you need anything email me at searchjunkie@gmail.com, information wise, feel free.\n\n\nSources below are websites for free books, free information on anything, how to become a hacker, programming languages, free software, free alternative OS's, LiveCds, source code search engines and more.
