What's in your opinion the biggest difference between Computer Science ❤ and Software Engineering 💙? Which one do you (want to) study? 🧑‍🎓👩‍💻

Loved the video, especially the production quality.

You production quality has gone up alot with this one! At my Uni, Software Engineering is an Honors Degree that has all the same subjects as CS but has 1 year of extra content. The SE degree also allows you to join Engineers Australia as a Registered Engineer. This is recognised in non tech industries like Defence. You can also go into specialisations of Software Engineering like Data Engineering which is highly lucritive. I would say a big difference between SE and CS is that SE focuses more on quality. You are correct about the CS students having absolutely no personal skills lol.

This is such a fantastic video, the production is amazing! It's also my first time in this channel, I'm definitely a new subscriber 💗✨

PRODUCTION VALUE AND STORY TELLING IS SUPER ON POINT! I’m totally not a SWE but wow super interesting - GO KARO!!!!

[mannatkaur]

Hey, I'm currently a highschool student in Australia and I'm aiming to be going to Monash Uni. I really want to do a double degree with Engineering paired with something else. I'm not sure which would be better to pair it with it or cs? Also what would your adivice for chosing a major be? For CS it would just be advanced computer science. But for IT there are cybersecurity, software development, games, and business ? Thank you so much!

I like your creativity on my first video already

Hi Karo,
I was just curious if you were not doing the 1:1 consultations anymore. I am keen to do one if you are available.

But information systems isn't part of computer science, it is part of business administration.

lol software engineering also has math subjects, biased
