I'm studying CS myself and I can definitely confirm that everything that you mentioned is true. Keep up the good work!

[anikevin]

I switched from Computer Eng to Computer Sci midway because CS offered so many fun electives that the other didn't. Artificial Intelligence, Databases, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Blockchains, Data Mining, Mobile Dev, VideoGame Dev, etc.
I chose CompEng first because I wanted the title of "Engineer". But if at the end I'm gonna work in the same software engineering role, then who the fuck cares about the degree. I'm having fun with my classes, and when I get hired in that software engineering role I can call myself an engineer if I want to.

I currently go to concordia and was looking into one of this two degrees without actually knowing the difference. Thanks a lot for clearing that up for me. I don't think I could have found a more appropriate video! Take care

[lancersaber]

Bro. Thanks you for making a simple informative video. It took way to long to find someone that wasn’t trying to sell something.

[EditzVlog]

very informative video, i love how you explain your perspectives! keep up the great content!

[UchihaRevenge]

You're amazing dude. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

[SalmanKhan-fsmy]

Thank you so much bro
My all confusion is ended now
Between choosing software and CS degree
Thanks a lot

thank you so much this really helped !

Hi, in my country we only have two universities with the computer science major (it´s not well known here). Here Software Engineering (known as systems and coumputing engineering) is more focused to repair computers becasue most of the graduate people don´t know programming and last years of the major are focused on business engineering, IT for companies. The most common job after graduation is work for a traditional company in the maintenance of systems, computers, networks, and sometimes programming (if you have the skill) it is a well paid job.

Everything is so fkn true man. The piece of paper cant decide your future indeed. The video was awesome and informative as always. I also never liked theory classes that much specially when ur learning curve goes diff then uni XD. Amazing work bro 🔥🔥 Keep it up 👊💥

[terrelthompson]

Im a Comp Sci student but my program has a focus in S.E cuz it gives me classes like UI/UX and Full Stack Dev.

Maths wise, i heard cs had more maths than SOEN .I'm not that good at maths and i don't wanna spend my life just sololy writing codes and that's it .So what do you think ?

[WILDFLAME]

This was such a perfect video man, I’m currently deciding what to do

[LINAWORLD]

Thank you sooo much dude finally I decided to choose cs☺️

I think software engineering should be a specialization, not a undergrad. Firstly, Most companies have their way of developing software, so what matters is experience, not much what you learn reading a book (in regards to software development).
Second, in SE you take classes that are useless in IT jobs, like chemistry and physics for engineers, but those classes are the one that give you the engineer status lol. A proof that you may learn software development processes without needing an SE degree is that there lots of self taugjt coders that work as sofrware engineers that complain only about not having CS knowledge and how it makes them have a harder time on their jobs, but ive never seen a self taught coder or someone with a CS degree complaining that they dont understand software development processes. And last, saying a SE is more complete than a CS grad, is like saying taking a Medical specialization without going through a normal medical grad is" better" as it focuses more in practical stuff. Doesnt make much sense. SE will give you the engineer status but beyond the fact that it literally makes you practice more coding and that, i see no advantage in taking it over CS. Plus, you can practice coding by yourself on CS, but as that takes the responsiblity factor into consideration, ppl are usually afraid of that lol.

What's the difference between Computer Science and Informatics Engineering? Are those fields related? Let's say I'm applying for a job as a programmer and the requirement says Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or any related fields. If I have a degree in Informatics Engineering, can I apply?

[dvilscry]

Most colleges don’t even offer an “software engineering degree.” I always thought of those majors as like more of a certificate. I’m about to finish up community college getting an associates in computer science and where I plan on transferring they have a Computer Science degree with game development track, cyber security track, or data science track. You can specialize in something. I always viewed software engineering as one of these track options.

Any advice I could get since I’m doing computer science in university? Let me know thank you

[YlastT]

I’m a computer engineering student I still love my major but I’m finding CS more interesting so I don’t know wether I should switch or not because I’m afraid that I will regret it later since CENG have sometimes higher salaries and a little more job opportunities, does anyone have an advice ?

[MichaelSalton]

thanks mate. im deciding between the two right now and this helped
