What is the difference between Computer Science and Computing and Software Systems?
Computer Science majors learn the theory of programming–how to write clean, efficient, well-documented code. They usually don’t concentrate on any one operating system or languange. They learn more theory and use more mathematics and therefore are better prepared for graduate school. Computing and Software Systems degree is offered by the UW Bothell campus. This degree has less math and theory and instead concentrates on preparing students to work in the software industry writing or testing software (usually Windows based). You learn more practical programming skills specifically useful to the local software industry. The Computing and Software Systems programs at the UW branch campuses are much easier to get into than Computer Science programs at most universities. • How is Computer Engineering different from Electrical Engineering and Computer Science? Computer Engineering combines elements of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Computer engineers work on both hardware (ele
