1.软件工程：
软件工程是指对软件的研究，它告诉我们软件的形成方式以及与软件形成有关的过程。它被称为软件工程，因为它应用工程学原理来创建软件。因此，它被软件工程部门称为，研究和应用软件工程技术来构建产品的人们称为软件工程师。
2.计算机工程：
另一方面，计算机工程指的是对软件和硬件的研究，它向我们介绍了数学公式和技术的理论和实际实现，并使人们为成为软件工程师做好了准备。它为我们提供了有关网络，处理器和数据库等各个领域的知识。它是软件工程的基础。
软件工程和计算机工程之间的区别：
| S.No. | Software Engineering | Computer Engineering |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Software Engineering majorly defines the architecture and structural properties of Materialistic Engineering, Thermodynamics and Computer Organization Architecture etc. | Computer science involves the study of both principles and the use of computers which usually covers theoretical and practical approaches. |
| 2 | Software engineering applies all the standards and principles of Engineering to design, develop, maintain, test and evaluate computer software which is also known as life cycle of Software Development. | Computer science is basically formed with the collection of Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information system, Information Technology and Software engineering . |
| 3 | It involves the study and application of software only . | It involves the study and application of software and hardware both . |
| 4 | Software engineers are programmers who perform various quality assurance techniques in order to test the general behavior of software. | Students studying Computer Science study the concepts of various subjects like Mathematics, Electrical engineering, Physics and Management Information system. |
| 5 | It is a structural process of checking, verifying, finding the errors and bugs according to the need of software and then provide a solution for removing that bug . | It is not a structural process as everything is to be done in a process and requires proper study before executing. |
| 6 | Software Engineering involves some areas of study which are Software Development, Software Testing and Quality Assurance. | Computer Science involves areas of study which are Networking, Artificial Intelligence, Data Base Systems etc. |
| 7 | Software engineering has not compulsory project management but knowledge of project management is a plus. | Project management is an internal part of study in Computer Science. |
| 8 | It majorly concern to apply engineering for the creation, maintenance, and designing of software in order to build different products . | It majorly concern to apply engineering in software’s and hardware devices. |
