The first one has 'Science' in it -- always a winner

The former has a more geeky feel about it.
Hope that answers your question.
(To put it in context, with the former you could handle almost any bridge station with the latter you would be limited to Uhura's)

Maddus on C9, Is often controversial, But fun none-the-less -evildictaitor
First, is more generic and has a clean feel about it.
Second, is less generic and looks like a marketing thing.

Not quite done yet. But there is a possibility I'll be done within the next few months.

We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.
For Science! o/

@Sven Groot:If the only choices include "Ph.D." then the first one sounds more practical. Blowdart is right on the money with the conveyance of the second title (glorified coax termination practitioner).

@davewill: Well yes, obviously, when doing a Ph.D. the title you get at the end will include "Ph.D."

I need better writers.
Can't you just get a Ph.D. in "Computer Science"? Or is that title not fashionable anymore?

I don't know what "Communication Engineering" is. Sounds like a buzz word.
The first sounds like a NOVA special.
I'd go with the first one (or neither if I had the option).

My lab is not in the Computer Science department, we're in engineering. I am in the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Department of Information and Communication Engineering. That's why I get these two choices and no others.
There is a Computer Science department, but for some reason that's not how my lab is grouped. Why that is, nobody knows I think.

Either one would get you the name "Doctor Groot" HAHA!
I'd go with Communication Engineer because you get to climb those cell towers! WIN! -

So, when you get your Ph.D...can I have your masters? You're not going to need it anymore.
