hi, I want to know

is BS HONS in comp science and software engineering same

which govt universities are offering soft ware engin in lahore

what is the scope of soft ware engineering in pak and arab countries.

any information will be highly appreciated.

Would love to hear about Software Engineering.

No When you are doing BS Honours You Will have Two Choice Wheter U Will Become a Software Engineer or You Can Become A Developer or something like that

All i can tell you is that FAST is the best university in Lahore for BS in CS Go for It

Its definitely Worth it

Lums, Fast, UET Lahore, and even I believe Punjab university have the course. And there is a difference between software engineering and bsc honors. If you get a chance to for engineering.

As per of my knowledge Comp Science (CS) deals with the designing of computing machines (based on math-oriented theory)and process (e.g. Designing of PLC's, HMI's etc..), while Software Engineering is all about programming.

As other colleagues suggested number of universities offering both CS and Software engineering, Fast (is the best option), LUMS, UET, PU etc...

Software Engineering has a good scope in ARAB, especially if you are specialized in ORACLE, SAP Programming etc.. but its a very competitive field and u will get a v tough competition from Indian Software Engineers, as major portion of the software programming industry is occupied by them.

Re: want some info about soft ware engineering

Agreed Software Engineering is more about coding/programming.A software engineer works on actually developing working software solutions, a computer scientist focuses on the theoretical construct of software and hardware development. Also software engineering is about updating and fixing problems in existing software,they play an integral part in the development of software applications for computer systems.

You could end up at software developing,apps developing, graphics designing, game designating etc. Programmer are very high demand in the EU.

Re: want some info about soft ware engineering

is not that you do bs hons in cs then go for specialization in soft engineering or something else, purpose is to become software engineer,

and someone told me that both bs hons and soft ware engin are names of same course and this is 4 years course i m so confused :bummer:

fast is private uni, right

Re: want some info about soft ware engineering

i am asking about bs hons in cs not bsc hons that is something different i think

Re: want some info about soft ware engineering

Difference between CS and S/W Engineering… the answer isn’t black-or-white… this coming from someone who has a B.Sc. Honors in Comp Sci with a specialization in Software Engineering.

Universities usually offer S/W Eng. either as a concentration within a CS program (as in my case) or some Universities offer a standalone S/W Eng. major.

No matter which model is used, you’re probably going to take a common core of foundational courses in Computer Science - including CS theory, linear algebra, discrete math, as well as applied programming courses.

Beyond the common core, a S/W Eng. concentration also includes courses such as software quality assurance, systems analysis & design etc.

On the other hand, the senior level courses in a CS concentration may include advanced algorithms, combinatorics, advanced data structures etc.

These days, many universities offer a variety of concentrations/pathways under the umbrella of computer science… including software engineering, information management, information systems, computation theory, web technologies, human-computer interaction etc.

Regardless of the concentration, a CS-related undergraduate degree is in high demand around the globe. Being in academia, I can tell you that there’s a dearth of graduates from CS programs all around the world and if you have the aptitude for mathematics and programming, and are willing to persevere through a challenging program, you’re all set for a prosperous career! :k:

thank you lucid

Re: want some info about soft ware engineering

I will completely agree with Lucid.

Usually, Computer Science degree include few software engineering courses, which are enough for computer scientist to secure software engineering job. It is because student aware of important concept of software engineering which he/she learned in OOP, SE I, SE II. Furthermore, good universities always require final year project and also demand complete design documents and code, which is actually equivalent to the all needed software engineering activities in development of software product.

In Computer Science, you will learn following core area.
Object Oriented Analysis & Design
Digital Logic Design
Data Structures
Assembly Lang.
Discrete Structures
Database Systems
Operating Systems
Design & Analysis of Algorithms
Theory of Automata
Artificial Intelligence
Computer Architecture
Compiler Construction
Software Engineering I and II

In Software Engineering,
Requirements Engineering

Software Construction
Software Architecture
Software Engineering Processes

Software Engineering Life Cycle

Software Design Patterns

Reuse and Reengineering
Testing Validation and Verification
Software Metrics

Let me know, if you need further help.
