Is software engineering or computer engineering better? This is a question that many software engineers are asking.
Computer engineering is the study of how machines and equipment work. It differs from software engineering because it focuses on how those machines and tools work with their parts.
Software engineering focuses on how they perform tasks with their programs. Computer engineering is the mathematical study of how we create through programs and in turn a product.
From this we can see why software engineering is a more complex and precise form of engineering than computer engineering.
A computer engineer can build the components of a computer, but cannot build a computer; A software engineer can't really make any programs or computers.
With computer engineering, the goal is to create a computer that does what the computer was meant to do.
