UVA at Wise

computer engineering is the hardware.

Okay, so computer science. What is the difference between studying computer science and "software engineering." I think they are the same thing.

You clearly do not work on the industry. Google is your friend: https://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~djanzen/secsdiff.html

Practically they're the same thing. When hiring I don't value one above the other unless I'm hiring a PHD.

After reading that, I think software engineering is too narrow. Better to be computer science. More versatile.

Let's be frank: if UVA Wise the only school doing something, the immediate assumption shouldn't be that they are superior. I believe the faculty at UVA, Tech, GMU, and JMU are up to speed on best practices in engineering.
