  1. Distinctions Between Computing Disciplines From the ACM, AIS, IEEE-CS Computing Curricula 2005 Overview Report http://www.acm.org/education/education/curric_vols/CC2005-March06Final.pdf

  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
