What’s the Difference Between Computer Science and Software Engineering?
Confused about Computer Science (CS) vs Software Engineering (SE)? Well, let's clear that up in a fun and relatable way!
Think of it like building a house:
🔹 Computer Science is like being the architect. You design the grand plan, figure out how things should work in theory, and create beautiful blueprints. You don't build the house, but you know exactly how it should stand up (and how it could fall if someone makes a mistake!).
🔹 Software Engineering, on the other hand, is the construction worker. You take those blueprints and bring them to life, coding, debugging, and hoping your "temporary fixes" don't break anything—especially at 4 AM!
Then, there's Computer Engineering (CE), the person who actually makes the bricks for the house. They're the unsung heroes who get blamed when things fall apart (but they're just doing their job!).
So, when choosing your university course, ask yourself: Do you want to design the spaceship or be the one duct-taping it when it crashes? 🤔
Dive into the video to learn more about how these three fields are different but essential in the world of tech! 💻✨
