Software Engineering would barely have any differences with Computer Science. I thought we would have more or less the same courses and we would learn the same kind of stuff and while that isn’t completely untrue, there are many significant differences between the two degrees.
Software Engineering, as the name so obviously points out, takes you through the whole process of Engineering a Software. This includes the initiation, planning, requirement gathering, designing, implementing, testing, deploying, and maintaining a software system. Knowing and implementing the Software Development Life Cycle (computer science vs information technology) and everything associated with it comes under the job of a Software Engineer. There are many ways to implement the cycle as well; all these come under SE as well. Computer Science focuses more on the implementation and programming phase.
Computer Scientists also focus on the computing, analysis, storage, and application development of data and systems whilst Software Engineers focus more on the application of these principles in an SDLC.
