Why Computer Science
Software Engineering and Computer Science differ in much the same way as do Electrical engineering and Physics. Generally, engineering should be concerned with applying what we already know to create products, while science is more theoretical. Therefore, the goal of computer science, according to Parnas, “is to learn and extend the science”. Software Engineering on the other hand aims to use the science and technology already available to create products and tools for use.
Computer Science is more reliable and effective than Software Engineering and other computer science discipline. It covers all areas that help students to take advantage of every field of Computer Science in their higher studies. This program will be consisting of minimum 130 credit hours and it takes Minimum 4 to Maximum 7 years to complete the BSCS degree program.
