The Computer Science college at Oregon State University offered both CS and Software Engineer degrees. The CS degree focused more on theory and technology, SWE more on management strategies (Agile, etc) and project architecture. I was really frustrated hitting the workforce and not knowing much about the "flow" of large team software projects.
It was interesting seeing what the EE's and ME's were learning about, standardized practices, vs what CS was taught, the "figure out a system" method.
- oneeach 5y agoAt the Oregon Institute of Technology we start with three terms of C++ for Software Engineering and code all four years in several languages. We might not go as deep into the theory, but we can safely use a pointer and understand what the NullPointerException actually is in managed languages. By the time we graduate we have worked on a lot of code and two large projects, one of which is with a team of other students.
