Difference between Computer Science and Software Engineering

The question in which most f of the student stuck to find a proper answer. So here it is the best answer after proper analyzing.


Computer Science :


  Computer science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers. It is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to, information. An alternate, more succinct definition of computer science is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.





 Some fields of Computer Science :



  •     Computational Complexity Theory
  •     Computer Graphics
  •     Computer Programming
  •     Data Communication   

Note : (Above mentioned fields are some of the popular fields of Computer Science. There are many more which we'll discuss later). 

Software Engineering :


  There are many engineering fields like electrical, mechanical and civil engineering. All these branches of engineering are based on physics. Physics itself is not  engineering but the use of physics in making buildings, electronic devices and machines is engineering. When we use physics in making machines like engines of cars then it is called mechanical engineering. And when we apply the knowledge in making electronic devices then this process is electrical engineering.

The relation of computer science with Software Engineering  is similar as between Physics and electrical. mechanical or civil engineering. So Software Engineering can be define in short as :

"This is the process of utilizing our knowledge of computer science in effective production of software systems."

Software Engineering Framework

An important concept about Software Engineering is Software Engineering Framework. The software development organization must have special focus on quality while performing the software engineering activities. Based on this commitment to quality by the organization, a software engineering framework is proposed. The major components of this framework are described below : Quality Focus:   As we have said earlier, the given framework is based on the organizational commitment to quality. The quality focus demands the processes be defined for rational and timely development of software. And quality should be emphasized while executing these processes. Processes:     The processes are set of key process areas (KPAs) for effectively manage and deliver quality software in a cost effective manner. The processes define the tasks to be performed and the order in which they are to be performed. Every task has some deliverable's and every deliverable should be delivere...
