    What is the major difference between following deciplines::confused: 1. Computer Science:confused: 2. Computer Engineering:confused: 3. Information Technology:confused: 4. Software Engineering:confused: 5. Systems Engineering:confused: Below are some general definitions, I googled:

    Computer Science

    The systematic study of computing systems and computation. The body of knowledge resulting from this discipline contains theories for understanding computing systems and methods; design methodology, algorithms, and tools; methods for the testing of concepts; methods of analysis and verification; and knowledge representation and implementation.

    Computer Engineering

    The creative application of engineering principles and methods to the design and development of hardware and software systems

    Information Technology

    acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of all types of information using computer technology and telecommunication systems to achieve strategic goals

    Software Engineering

    The system of applying of an engineering discipline to the design, implementation and maintenance of software systems.

    Systems Engineering

    The set of activities which control the overall design, implementation and integration of a complex set of interacting components or systems in order to meet the needs of all users and other stakeholders.

      All those definitions sound like they should be given to the Sanitation Engineer. Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing

          Here's how I see it: 1. Computer Science The study of the theory behind computation (how computers work, why computers work, how to program, why to program, how programming works, why programming works, etc) 2. Computer Engineering The study of how to put a computer system together - speccing the hardware, deciding what software is needed, and so on (probably involving how to program too) 3. Information Technology How to use general computer applications (MSOffice, email, etc), maybe a bit of programming, but probably fairly limited 4. Software Engineering How to develop software - probably more in depth than in (1) and (2) but likely to also be far less theory than (1) 5. Systems Engineering I'd read this as the same as 2 To put this all into contect, I did CS at university, and we learnt lots of deep theory behind how programming languages work (which I believe means I can easily pick up a new language, because instead of thinking "How does this language compare to xxx" I can see how the underlying basics work) Some of our programming modules were shared by people doing a Software Engineering course. They were basically taught lots of languages, but didn't really understand the underlying principles (so if they were faced with a brand new language, they might have difficulties) -- Help me!

            Systems engineering is concerned with the overall design and production of a given product. It really has nothing to do with computer science. Here's a better description: http://www.soe.stevens.edu/seem/[^]
