4-Computing: It is the branch of computer
The main branches of computer science
are:1-Information technology: Information
technology (IT) is the most important branch
of computing and refers to the use of any
computer, storage system, networks and ot-
her mechanical devices, means and met-
hods to found, solve, collect, store and ex-
change all types and forms of electronic in-
formation. Information technology contains
various physical pieces of equipment, called
“hardware”.
2-Cybernetics: This branch of computing re-
fers to the science of providing a solution for
a specific problem, regarding communication
between people, animals or devices. The
main objective of cybernetics and the reason
it was created is to stimulate the understan-
ding of systems and make them more effi-
cient and productive based on a recurring
need.
3-Robotics: Robotics is the branch of com-
puter science that deals with the design, as-
sembly, and operations of robots.

Introduction to Computer Science and its
Branches (Streams)
In this world full of industries, a technological -
driven mind is the prime necessity to set your-
self apart from the crowd. In this process of
creating a technology driven world which
knows how to function according to the needs
of the industries computers are a must. This is
the reason, there is a study of computers and
a science of it which helps the students of this
era know everything about those machines
that run this entire world.
Alfred Aho once said- “Computer Science
is a science of abstraction -creating the
right model for a problem and devising the
appropriate mechanizable techniques to
solve it.”
Computer Science - The science of compu-
ters
Computer science is the study of computers
and its applications. It provides the students
the liberty to know everything about this world
through softwares and their applications.
 It is the deep study of those machines
and their softwares that basically runs
this world.
 It is the study of computer algorithms and
the languages that program the machi-
nes.
 It is the study of data structures and net-
working and the establishment of net-
works in computers.
These paths are;
 Information Technology
 Computer Engineering
 Software Engineering
 Computer Science and Engineering
 Information System
Almost all the career paths mentioned here,
for the ones who are interested in these bunch
of machines with complex structures, have
one thing in common,” i.e. engineering.
There are streams in engineering that start
from the basics of computer science and lead
the students to the very top of it. The designed
course structures are a plus point as they
don’t focus on just one thing.
Streams
1-Computer science and engineering: It is
one such stream. It allows the students to start
from the very basics of computers. It is the
study of the science of computers, i.e. compu-
ter science with the architecture of it with;
 The main programming languages,
 An introduction to computer circuits, and
 A mastery in computer algorithms that run
the whole process of this science of compu-
ters.
Having its origin from mathematics and electri-
cal engineering, computer science and engi-
neering is the study of computation of not only
the software but also the hardware of compu-
ters. It helps the students to excel in their cho-
sen career path and gives them opportunities
to live with those machines which are shaping
the present and future of today’s world.
2-Another such stream is computer engi-
neering: Slightly different from computer
science engineering, computer engineering
contains the study of a few topics that are dif-
ferent from computer science engineering.
This includes the designing and assembling of
hardwares along with designing circuits of mi-
croprocessors and supercomputers. Basically,
it’s the pathway to the future which you know
can run an entire country technologically.
3-Information technology: It is related to net-
works and network management, with the ma-
nagement of computer data. It is the study of
the use of computers in storing and manipula-
ting data where data refers to electronic data
stores in machines.
Information Technology includes machine co-
des and other data that drive a computer or
electronic device. It is the study of networking,
i.e.
