What is more special is that the computer major is also divided into science direction and engineering direction. The direction of science is also called computer science, which mainly studies algorithm complexity, programming language principle, data mining, formal language and automata theory, and computer architecture. The direction of engineering is also called computer technology, which mainly studies graphics and image processing, software engineering, software architecture, operating system, database and so on.
People always put science and engineering together to distinguish them from literature, agriculture and medicine. Literature, science, engineering, agriculture and medicine are five important basic fields in colleges and universities.
