Answer :

The differences between computer science and information technology are the following-

1. Computer science

Computer science refers to the study of both software and hardware and it tell us about the theoretical
and practical implementation of mathematical formulations and technologies. It provide us knowledge
about various field like networking, processors and data base etc.

Software engineering

Software Engineering on the other hand refers to the study of software which tell us about how
Software is formed and about the processes involved in the formation of Software .It is basically known
as Software Engineering because it applies the principles of Engineering in order to create a software.

2. Computer science

Computer science involves the study of both principles and the use of computers which usually covers
theoretical and practical approaches.

Software engineering

Software Engineering majorly defines the architecture and structural properties of Materialistic
Engineering, Thermodynamics and Computer Organization Architecture etc.
3. Computer science

Computer science is basically formed with the collection of Computer Engineering, Computer Science,
Information system, Information Technology and Software engineering .

Software engineering

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.

4. Computer science

It involves the study and application of software and hardware both.

Software engineering

It involves the study and application of software only .

5.computer science

Students studying Computer Science study the concepts of various subjects like Mathematics, Electrical
engineering, Physics and Management Information system.

Software engineering

Software engineers are programmers who perform various quality assurance techniques in order to test
the general behavior of software.

6. Computer science
It is not a structural process as everything is to be done in a process and requires proper study before
executing.

Software engineering

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 .

7. Computer science

Computer Science involves areas of study which are Networking, Artificial Intelligence, Data Base
Systems etc.

Software engineering

Software Engineering involves some areas of study which are Software Development, Software Testing
and Quality Assurance.

8. Computer science

Project management is an internal part of study in Computer Science.

Software engineering

Software engineering has not compulsory project management but knowledge of project management
is a plus.
9. Computer science

It majorly concern to apply engineering in software’s and hardware devices.

Software engineering

It majorly concern to apply engineering for the creation, maintenance, and designing of software in
order to build different products.

Computer science and software engineering may share some overlapping commonalities, however, the
principles behind each field of study can offer several differences those are discussed above.
