Anecdotal information on Software Engineering vs. Computing Science as a degree?

Asked by paulc (2683) | asked January 24th, 2008 | 5 responses

I’ve been programming for a long time but I’ve decided to get a degree so I can improve beyond my current abilities. Software engineering is very appealing to me because it is recognized in a few parts of Canada (you can be a P.Eng.) but the workload seems a bit daunting. On the other hand I’ve been looking at straight Computing Science as an option. I’m hoping some graduates or current students can give me some advice.
