  • Would also like to know the difference between a computer engineering degree and a computer science degree.

  • Answer:

    Typical formal definition of software engineering is "the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software". A programmer is someone who programs computers, that is, one who writes computer software. The term computer programmer can refer to a specialist in one area of computer programming or to a generalist who writes code for many kinds of software. Hence, a programmar is concerned with the code where a software engineer is concerned with all aspects of software production. Computer science: more theoretical less practical. Computer engineering: more practical less theoretical For details, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_engineering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science
