Qual'ï¿œ la facoltï¿œ inglese e/o americana che corrisponde a quella in 
oggetto? E come indicare un ingegnere informatico?
Grazie.

 Grazie.

ciao

 Grazie.
Computer engineering. 

 Computer engineering. 
Penso anch'io sia questa...quindi:
"A computer engineering student" per "uno studente di ingegneria 
informatica", mentre "la facoltï¿œ di ingegneria informatica" potrebbe 
essere "faculty of computer engineering"...

 essere "faculty of computer engineering"...
A quanto ne so, nell'inglese americano faculty indica il corpo docenti, 
mentre in quello britannico un'area didattica pi� estesa di un 
dipartimento... Sinceramente non saprei come tradurre con esattezza 
"facolt�" in inglese, attendi pareri pi� esperti. 

 "facoltà" in inglese,
In inglese americano, credo che l'equivalente sia "college" o anche
"school".
college
[...]
2. university school or division: a school or a division of a
university that usually has its own dean and other administrators and
whose faculty teaches and confers degrees in specific academic fields

 essere "faculty of computer engineering"...
Non sono convinto, anche perché "engineer" non equivale sempre al
nostro ingegnere, ma in certi casi può anche essere un tecnico.
Propenderei più per "computer science", e dunque "computer science
graduate" per il laureato.
Ad ogni modo, basta vedere il programma di un corso e vedere se
coincide...
Per es., alla Columbia University di NY
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/education/undergrad
 Computer science majors at Columbia study an integrated curriculum,
partially in areas with an immediate relationship to the computer,
such as programming languages, operating systems, and computer
architecture, and partially in theoretical computer science and
mathematics. A broad range of upper-level courses is available in
topics such as artificial intelligence, natural language processing,
computational complexity and the analysis of algorithms, computer
communications, combinatorial methods, computer architecture, computer
graphics, data bases, mathematical models for computation,
optimization, and programming environments. Thus, students obtain the
background to pursue their interests both in applications and in
theoretical and developments.
Practical experience is an essential component of the Computer Science
Program. Undergraduate students are often involved in advanced faculty
research projects using state-of-the-art computing facilities.
Qualified majors often serve as consultants at the Computer Center;
which operates several labs with microcomputers and terminals
available at convenient locations on the campus.
Upper-level students in computer science may assist faculty members
with research projects, particularly in the development of software.
Ongoing faculty projects include algorithmic analysis, computational
complexity, software tool design, distributed computation, computer
modeling and performance evaluation, computer networks, computer
architecture and VLSI design, computer graphics, programming
environments, expert systems, natural language processing, computer
vision, robotics, multi-computer design, VLSI applications, artificial
intelligence, combinatorial modeling, and microprocessor applications.
Students are strongly encouraged to arrange for participation by
consulting individual faculty members.
Most graduates of the Computer Science Program at Columbia step
directly into career positions in computer science with industry or
government, or continue their education in graduate degree programs.
Many choose to combine computer science with a second career interest
by taking additional programs in business administration, medicine, or
other professional studies.

 coincide...
E' vero, a volte la pigrizia e il caldo di questi giorni ti fregano ;-)
Grazie Enrico.

 coincide...
These days I think that a degree in "Information Management" or 
"Computer Technology" are the most common terms.

 "Computer Technology" are the most common terms.
A native, finally...thanks Tony, but in Italy we have "informatica" and
"ingegneria informatica" with the first more IT orientated
while the latter forms an engineer who among other things
studies IT subjects too.


In an orderly world "informatica" would be "Information Managment" and 
"ingengneria informatica" would be "Computer Technology" but my guess is 
that, in the US, marketing plays as much a role in the naming choice as 
does curriculum. Each university will name a 'major' program based on 
the inclinations of the administration.
By the way, we tend not to form engineers, but rather only tend to form 
qualities, ideas, or persuasions. Not that it's incorrect, it's just not 
a common verb choice.
"Repeated beatings by the holy sisters of mercy formed his character."
"His prejudices were formed by the reactions to his own malaprops."
-whereas-
"The B.S. program spits out emotionally-challenged engineers at an 
alarming rate."
"In The US we have "Information Technology" and "Computer Technology." 
The first graduates systems oriented managers, and the later produces 
engineers who, among other things, study system managment."

 engineers who, among other things, study system managment."
Not 'later'. I meant to say 'ladder' or 'latter', or something of that sort.

 engineers who, among other things, study system managment."
Thanks again Tony, very helpful!
