computer disciplines



Computer disciplines is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications
1.      Computer Science (CS)
2.      Software Engineering (SE)
3.       Information Systems (IS)
4.      Cognitive Science (CS)  
5.      Computer Engineering (CE).

1.      Computer Science: it studies the theory of computation and the creating a system, a computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems and he try to develop news idea about the system according to the mathematical concepts.
CS has connection with other disciplines because the CS develops the system and creates new ideas to make the system users
friendly.
CS differ from other discipline that CS studies concern on the theory and on the mathematical (software) part rather than hardware.
2.      Software engineering is that form of engineering that applies the principles of computer science and mathematics to achieving cost-effective solutions to software problems.
Software Engineering is the application of systematic, disciplined to maintenance and development software.
The differences between SE and others disciplines is that Software Engineering focuses on the software and how to develop it by applying the concept of Computer Science.
3.      Information System IS: Information System is the combination of information technology and people's activities that support operations, management and decision making. The difference between information technology (IT)and information systems (IS) is that IS focus on the applications and implications of computing in the business domain, however, IT does not focus on a single domain in which IT is practiced, but instead focuses on the integration and deployment of computing technology. But the  similarities between them is Organizational management and IT infrastucture.


4.      Cognitive Science (CS): Cognitive Science is the study of the mind and its processes. It includes research on intelligence and behaviour and especially focusing on the information and how we present and transform it in the system and machine for example, language. There are many topics related to the CS, such as psychology, artificial intelligence, philosophy and linguistics. So as we can see here that the Cognitive Science focuses on the understanding the nature of the human mind rather than on software or hardware like other disciplines


5.      Computer Engineering (CE): Compute Engineering is the most general discipline in all discipline computers because CE is the combination of two fields: computer science and electrical engineering. CE also is the process of analyzing and designing all hardware, software, and operating systems for a computer.
CE is called the body and the mind because it needs to understand both the hardware and the software of computers.
IT and computer engineering have similarities because IT focuses more on the hardware on the other hand CE is also a study of hardware beside the software.




“Most CS people laugh at MIS/IT people,” And “MIS/IT people make more money and manage the CS folks.”
As far my opinion I would say that there is not much difference between IT and CS people. Both the fields have a same base. IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect process, transmit, and securely retrieve information. CS people study about the design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware. For the CS, mainly based on the computing and how computers and computer programs work. CS is tougher, broader and higher cost than IT that’s why people are laughing.

People use IT in everything they do in their daily life. IT is more applied compare to CS. CS they just develop software whereas IT people they coverts the software’s to application. IT helps the business company to increase their effectiveness in the work which leads to more money. Furthermore, many IT people have highest position in company such as CEO, manager etc. Therefore, they can manage the CS folks.


The most important thing is that, CS people and IT people are related to each others. CS people are creating the programs and software’s while IT people are concerned in the application of such software programs as well as training how to use them in the real fields.
