@Günther:
der Begriff Rechentechnik hat überhaupt nichts mit Informatik zu tun (und ist kein Englisch und der Link somit hinfällig).
Da sage ich einfach \"disagree\" (nicht einverstanden). Was hat das bitte mit \"der Keule zuschlagen\" zu tun? Ist ein \"disagree\" soooo schlimm? Pedro hat es jedenfalls überlebt ;-))

disagree  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): sorry to disagree! What has Rechentechnik to do with Technische Informatik??? Forget the link!

  -> Sorry
agree  Guenther Danzer: Nicht gleich mit der Keule zuschlagen! Der Link war doch ganz OK! Die Antwort war nur nicht ganz so passend. Hier wurde nach dem englischen Ausgruck gefragt! ;-)

Engineering Computing


Explanation:
That's what it was called when I was a student. "Technical/Engineering IT" is also possible. (I assume this is "Informatik" for technical purposes, and not technical aspects of "Informatik".)

PS Previous answerers seem to think this question is German>German. I hope I haven't missed something.

agree  Mario Marcolin: Unambiguous and still very common..
5 hrs
  -> Thanks
agree  Gareth McMillan: Well thought out, as usual, But I prefer "Technical/Engineering IT" by a mile. "Engineering computing" doesn't sit right on the (mother) tongue. (Heh, heh.)
8 hrs
  -> Thanks. "Engineering computing" still has some currency.

  -> Danke, Pedro!
agree  Michele Johnson: Seems like the obvious answer to me. Although a university near me also has Ingenieurinformatik as a Studiengang; do you think that is the same?
1 hr
  -> Hi Michele, not sure about Ingenieurinformatik, could be...
neutral  Richard Benham: "Computer Engineering" and "Engineering Computing" are two different things. Here we have a type of "Informatik" (roughly Computer Science) not a type of engineering.

  -> Hi Richard, no doubt, they are different.
agree  Steffen Walter: would prefer this one
