quad 17 Report post Posted January 4, 2018 Hi there guys, As you have probably understood, I'm torn between going for CS and SE. And sadly, I have less than 2 weeks to decide.

If anybody studies one of the 2 mentioned courses (or, perhaps, has already finished), an explanation of what are the major differences would be highly appreciated! Thank you. @KONG @Blanquitoh @V3ct0r @LikeAlcohol @Perseus @Danny @Billy @... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syntax 28 Report post Posted January 6, 2018 Engineering always and will be the top choice. computer science is related/nearby to hardware engangement, it's upgradable while the engineering required a brain's storm in it, this will lead the developer to release a new hardware system. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deguix 64 Report post Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) From wikipedia: Quote In general, software engineering focuses more on techniques for the application of software development in industry,[48][49] while computer science focuses more on algorithms and theory.[50] It's theory (or an art) vs practical (what companies really want).
