1 Distinctions Between Computing Disciplines
From the ACM, AIS, IEEE-CS Computing Curricula 2005 Overview Report

2 Evolution of Computing Disciplines
EE: Electrical Engineering CE: Computer Engineering CS: Computer Science SE: Software Engineering IT: Information Technology IS: Information Systems

3 Comparison Framework: The Problem Space of Computing
Configuration

4 Computer Engineering Design and construction of computers and computer-based systems Hardware, software, communications, and interaction among them Digital hardware Software for digital devices and interfaces to other systems Embedded systems

5 Computer Science From theory to programming
Design and implement software Devise new ways to use computers Challenging applications: robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, bioinformatics, etc. Develop effective ways to solve computing problems Better ways to store and access data, process data, send data over a network, display data and images

6 Information Systems Integrate information technology solutions and business processes Focus on information aspects more than on technology aspects (Compare to Information Technology) Business and enterprise applications to achieve business goals

7 Information Technology
Meet computer technology needs of business, government, healthcare, schools, etc. Focus on technology aspects more than information aspects (Compare to Information Systems)

8 Software Engineering Develop and maintain software systems that
Behave reliably and efficiently Are affordable to develop and maintain Satisfy all customer requirements Large, expensive, complex systems Safety-critical and mission-critical applications
