Comment on Poll: Software Engineering degree vs Computer Science

Comments

I took computer engineering instead of computer science because it provides a more in depth study of the field . The reverse was that it took longer to finish it and it was harder. So, the answer was yes.

He asked about Software Engineering vs CS. CE is CS + EE so CE is going to be very hard at a good school. CS is a math oriented view of our field while SE is more practices and Engineering approach. I would say that the CS degree is more valuable than the SE degree.

No.

Depends on which school you go, CS might be business oriented ,and have to take accounting and other crap
