I remember trying to get several people to explain the difference between Software Eng and Computer Science to me on an Open Day when I was about 15, and all I spoke to failing miserably. For anyone out there wondering, they are pretty much the same degree (depending on what 300-level electives you pick) 'cept Software Eng gets you to complete a year-long industry project. This makes Software Eng 4 years instead of 3. Not that difficult to describe really! Nuh, I like the Transformers description better, leave the posters to confused high-school students... ;) Isn’t the Eng department @ uni terrible at explaining their courses to prospective students?!
