Hello LUG
I think CS should be integrated with Telecom Eng because TE has Core computer
evolution theory and practical that's detailed Microprocessor and electronics
which at the same time falls partly in CS and ICT manages both TE and CS.
ICT is not all about PowerPoint , excel and Mails as u guys can imagine. Its
broad and wide.
Regards.
None of us is as smart as all of us

Subject: Re: [LUG] ICT vs Computer Science
ICT is more application based. i.e. Powerpoint, Excel, Access where are CS is
more about the 'science' so how theory of Computers etc.
The main problem is one of qualified teachers. In the UK a lot of ICT teachers
do not have a CS based degree, not a problem when you teaching MS Access a
problem when you want to teach about ROM's RAM, CPU's etc.
As a thought because of the more theoretical nature of CS though you probably
can teach more offline, than ICT.
Also and I have to agree with this CS is more exciting than ICT, as you learn
how and why computers work, not just click next, so kids end up more engaged
and likely to have a CS based career.
