So what's the difference between CS, CE and SE?!

 

CS = Computer Science.

Teaches you programming principles, languages, a lot of theory, some hardware, and other things depending on your school.

CE = Computer Engineering

Teaches you some programming, and a lot about hardware, hardware design, logic.  I'm didn't do CE so can't say a whole lot about it.

SE = Software Engineering

I could be wrong but I think it's just CS light, or CS minus the hardware stuff?  I would guess more UML too?

The way we have been taught is that Computer Science is working on small important pieces of coding such as algorithms and that SE is working on much larger scale projects which require less understanding of the very fundamentals of coding but much more code.

 

 

CS can be a lot of things, but generally, yeah, you're about right.  I think SE is more planning, planning out those large projects, and then splitting it into those smaller pieces that the CS people would work on.  Maybe a better way to say it would be a more specialized project manager?
