of CompSci
Computer Science is a broad topic, and as such, you'll learn a broad variety of things as we move through these courses. You'll also develop new or improved skills while building up a professional portfolio.
Probably.
While Computer Science is a strong area of work and research on its own, it also connects to just about every field now, from agriculture to transportation- CS is everywhere.
Computer Science is especially important in the STEM fields. Most STEM fields, and most STEM-related university programs, include at least a little programming now as well. If you intend to go into engineering, you'll likely have to learn at least a little programming at the university level.
If you are interested in any STEM area, adding Computer Science to your studies is a good idea and will likely benefit you in your future studies and potential careers.
Which STEM fields relate to Computer Science?
All of them.
While Computer Science itself is not Engineering, there is significant overlap between Engineering and Computer Science, and subfields of Computer Science are also subfields of Engineering. The work of many engineers also includes work within the Computer Science field.
Due to the overlap between Engineering and Computer Science, is not unusual for universities and colleges to combine them into the same department. Likewise, majority of engineering programs in college include at least some technology and computer science/programming courses. If you want to be an engineer, you will likely need to take at least a few Computer Science courses. As such, computer science courses do help prepare you for engineering, and look good on transcripts for any student interested in any STEM area, including engineering.
