Of course, I went to the University of Waterloo to study se. For example, the first year of SE is similar to that of CE, and some courses of these two majors are the same. But after the first year, the contents of SE and CE gradually changed. According to tessa. Com and CE are not as deep as SE in software programming. CE can't spend all his energy on coding like CS or SE. CE has a wider range of learning content, and they will also learn knowledge and applications such as signal and communication, embedded systems and circuits.
