BS in CS/SE/AI/DS/Security/Others -- Which Should You Pick?

[@ulhaqanwaar1]

I've been working in the industry for more than 5 years and trust me this is very important to understand I see a lot of newbies they want to jump high while missing the basics. So many software engineers are out there literally destroying the basics of software integrity. Recently I was working in the company and the top management of Software Engineers decided to switch to micro service architecture what they did was they broke down the application into the number of portals they were providing, they even had the same number of databases and all of these services were conceptually strongly dependent on each other. All of their databases were having duplication of data and if one update was to be done that was supposed to trigger updates in all the databases. Eventually the project was unable to be managed and was shut down by the investor that project was providing $750,000 annually to that company and after a few months the entire company closed down.

[@recluze]

Thank you so much for your detailed input Anwaar. It's great to see our alumni helping out the current students. I'm sure your advice will be taken to heart by the current students. (And also, it makes one feel really old when one of their students says they have more than 5 years of experience =] .... )

Yesterday I showed your video to a first semester student, who had taken admission in BSSE, it's his first semester and he wasn't clear about the difference between two fields. After watching your counselling video, He decided to change his degree from BSSE to BSCS. insha'Allah may be he might've done it today. (Luckily it's his first week, so the university allows him to change.) It was not possible without this video to explain it to him because the majority of the videos present on KZbin don't make enough sense. Your videos are helping us in Karachi.

The reason I choose this is core courses are same but can't choose electives other then data science. and the other reason is this degree is 5 to 6 lac cheaper then computer science

[@muhammadbasim359]

Hi Sir! I found this video very informative and helpful. I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on computer engineering major at bachelors level. Do you think it would be a good major to opt for bachelors level instead of computer science? Or does pursuing CE will compromise the basics of CS/programming knowledge as you mention for SE? I value your opinion since you have great knowledge and experience in this field. I hope that you will answer my question, thanks in advance!

[@recluze]

As far as I know, CE focuses more on hardware side. I honestly don't know how that is going to be useful in the current market. Maybe there are some opportunities but I'm not aware of them. Please do ask some people specialized in CE what opportunities are available for this field's graduates.

[@qanbar-pucit8534]

I feel Happy after watching this video and selecting CS over SE and IT. at PUCIT lahore even I got a chance in SE and IT but I choose CS

[@romailasad8840]

Yeah I do agree (to some extent), you talk real and major of your points about our education system are correct though. But I ve a conflict with you while comparing SE and CS. I am an SE student and I think what you are saying about SE, is not majorly correct! Currently done with my finals of 6th semester. From the very start of my degree, I was taught to code. As a software engineer(to be) I ve written code in multiple languages and made projects, and Algorithms? I am done with that too. Yeah that ISE(Intro to SE) thing you might be right, a little bit. Those courses were too early because of education system or whatever. CS people are just taught to code. Just to code? all that? One of my friend is in NUCES FAST isb campus. He is a good student but he only knows how to code, no knowledge in SQA or ST or any kind of software management. They can just do little bit of documentation of their code, basically of what a developer is capable. On the other hand I can code too, moreover I can use my knowledge given to me as an SE student, of designs, patterns, architecture etc etc(to code efficiently). CS people are done here but we have options of SQA, ST and any other software management skill we were taught. We can cope with them. Lately I ve done internship with defense, as their SQA team member. Because I ve got the benefit of using tools and writing software documents. Can CS guy do that? And currently I am doing AI project with my fellow SE student, who is working on adreno! I am an SE guy and involved in development of embedded system. Done with desktop applications, Mobile applications, and Web applications(part of my 6th sem). If you want to ask about black, white box testing. Ask it from a guy who is working in industry and not from the one who is applying for teaching. Teachers only know how to teach not to implement. Even I can answer this simple question because I know how to do BB testing using its techniques, it is part of my course (ST). My SE degree made me confident enough that If I have to use any new tech, I simply need 15 to 20 days and BOOM! I am in! Moreover, for quality assurance, testing and management, I am present too. I know the tools, I know how to create software artifacts. SE is an engineering degree while CS is not.(Farq prta hai, ye PAKISTAN hai). If you want to work with any Govt. organization(NESCOM, NESPAK), they need SEs not CSs. Even in Pakistan army, quota only for SEs. (Correct me If i am wrong, last time I researched and these are my results). Conclusion: An SE guy can replace CS one while CS one cannot.

[@romailasad8840]

You look like my SQA teacher :), lots of respect for all teachers ..

[@recluze]

I'm glad you've had a good experience with SE. I sincerely hope all SE students get a similar experience. I strongly urge any SE people viewing this video to read through your comment and make sure they follow a similar path. That way, they success with their SE career and I would be all the more happy for them. About your comments: a good CS/SE student should have experience with SQA/Testing/Design/Software Architecture. If they don't do that, it's bad regardless of the program. And every graduate, regardless of their major, should be able to learn a new tool/tech in 15 to 20 days. That should be a given. My point is only that a majority (not all) of SE teachers don't focus on that. If SE was taught the way it should be taught, I would have no problem with it. You would agree though that the curriculum set by HEC is lacking in many respects. Just to give an example, the subject of requirements engineering doesn't even mention TDD. Once again, thanks for your comments. I appreciate your candid views =]

[@romailasad8840]

@@recluze Yeah, I do agree with you. It all depends on teacher. Not even going to talk about HEC. I remember TDD(Test Driven Development) because I had a presentation on this topic. I might say I am lucky because My SC, SQA, SRE, ST teachers all are from industry and they taught me tools and industry standards to cope with these.

[@recluze]

@@romailasad8840 BTW, if you don't mind me asking, which university are you studying in? And if your teachers have set up a course page where I can get some of the resources/outlines. It would be great to pass them on to our SE teachers. Maybe they will benefit something from it.

I don't comment on specific universities.

If it really is the case that code is not made second-class citizen in a program, SE should be just as good as CS and switching would not be necessary.

Well, i encountered none of the problems youve mentioned gladly, and the curriculum isnt the same as what youre saying, theres no introduction to software engineering in 2nd semester, and we will be taught Data structures and algorithms too, here are the courses i got in 2nd semester (which has ended, 3 exams remaining for me): OOP OOP LAB Database System Database System Lab Linear algebra Multivariable Calculus Digital Logic design Digital logic design LAB Had a problem with none of these at all. And database system is kind of intro to database, not the whole course, teachers said there'll be part 2 after few semesters, we got a head start.

[@AyeshaLodhi-y6e]

I watched your video after 3 years do you still think CS is better than AI as i am going to take admission next year

[@recluze]

I still definitely think so. Here's a good way of figuring out if a BS in AI program is good. Ask whoever is teaching AI whether they will cover in their program how something like ChatGPT is created. If they name anything other than a basic Machine Learning course (e.g. "we have an elective on generative AI"), then it's a good program. Otherwise, they will only be covering concepts of AI related to pre-2012 and you're better off just being in CS.

[@RameeshaShoaib]

Aoa sir. I want to go in CS but I'm concerned about math especially Calculas. Can you please tell me if it's necessary in CS and how much math will be there in this degree?

[@recluze]

W.S. You will have to pass at least two calculus courses in any CS degee but that's about it. You can work perfectly fine in almost all CS fields if you don't remember any calculus after you finish getting a passing grade in that subject. For mroe details, you can refer to my "BS for pre-med students" video on the channel. Also, if you do decide to go into CS, I strongly recommend going through my probability and numerical computing playlists.

[@recluze]

I have exactly the same opinion. In fact, it's now supported by more evidence. That's why I haven't made this video again. The only thing I would like to add is that if you can't get into CS, SE is ok but don't go for a degree in AI, DS or CyberSec. (If you're interested, you can always work on these areas within your CS degree.)

[@asadabbas116]

Salam Sir, Hoping You're Doing Fine, Sir I was Comparing these Two (CS&SE) Extensively, Course of COMSATS, and sir I watched all the videos read all the articles related to these two, and then when i compared the courses on a paper, I found that in those technical subjects (Difference)(All other subjects were same) CS was Providing 1. Theory of Automata 2. Des. & analysis of Alog 3. Comp Const. 4. Robotics 5. Comp Archit. On the Other Hand SE was providing 1. Obj Orien. S.E 2. Soft Req Engg. 3. Soft Quality Engg. 4. Soft Des. & Arch. 5. Soft Project Management 6. Software Testing 7. Data Science (A.I, M.L, WebTech, Info Sec, Micro Proc(electives) ,Data Str, and other Core Computing subjects are common in both) and I've heard alot about Jobs in Data Science, Soft Testing, Quality Engg, Project Management etc whose subj are found only in SE, On the other hand, The Subjects Diff in CS Doesn't Seem to be as Much Rewarding as SE. (CORE COMPUTING SUBJECTS ETC ARE SAME IN BOTH) That's what I've concluded, (heard the teachers for S.E and C.s are also used interchangeably) Need your Suggestion Direly. Your Input would be the most valuable, Thank You.☺️

[@asadabbas116]

Sir Kindly Reply Me, I am Awaiting Your Input in this... (Admissions are ongoing)

[@recluze]

Apologies for late response. Been under the weather a bit. The points you mention are quite valid. I do agree that there is little difference in CS and SE and many faculty members are also shared. This is the same in my institute as well. My point is only that the differences are not useful in most cases. Let's take SQA as an example, It's a subject of utmost importance. I tell all my students to learn the concepts of QA (in fact from the very first semester). However, when it's taught as a course, it's mostly (not everywhere but in most places) taught from a purely theoretical perspective with lots of figures and case studies. We held job interviews a while back and only 2/23 SE PhD holders .. yes, PhD holders .. could answer my simple question, "How do I actually start doing black box testing for my software? What tools do I use and what code do I write for testing?". You will agree that this is a bad situation. We didn't hire any of those people but many universities will. And these people will teach somewhere. If you are in a good university as a faculty, you automatically feel all teachers are competent. It's not the case in all universities and even in "good universities", not all courses are taught well. Another example would be Assembly Language. In HEC's SE curriculum, there is no Assembly. I don't see how a software engineer can make informed decisions about the software stack when they have no knowledge of the foundations. I had SE students reach the OS course and I had trouble explaining even interrupts to them because they didn't have the concepts straight. On the other hand, if you go into CS and just learn SQA on your own, you get the best of CS and you get the benefit of SE as well without having to waste too much time and risking bad teachers. Hope that made sense.

Hi, ive applied to comsats this year and i had sufficient merit for CS but due to certain misunderstandings and familial pressure i chose SE as my 1st preference and CS as my 2nd preferance. After thoroughly thinking , I've concluded that whatever be it , i want to pursue CS . Is there any chance i can opt for CS when the merit lists display ? Can i change / shift from SE to CS in comsats (keeping in mind the classes will start within a month or so ). Kindly provide your input on this , will be looking forward to your reply .

BS (AI) will have many subjects related to AI but (a) there will hardly be anyone competent to teach it (with only a few exceptions) .... and (b) You can always learn those topics you are interested in on your own online or get your department to offer an elective. For example, if they are offered "Deep Learning" and you find out the teacher is very good, just ask the department to have that teacher offer you a "Deep Learning" elective in the next semester. Best of both worlds!

[@workhardmillionsonwelfared1329]

MashaAllah very insightful sir. I need your advice on how to pivot to Computer Science with specialization in Data Science/ Machine Learning. I don’t have a background in Computer Science. I have done BA Economics, MA Sociology and MBA Finance, I’ve worked in the banking industry for 3 years post MBA. Recently, I have completed my Google Data Analytics professional certificate on Coursera comprising of 7 courses and a capstone project, besides that I’ve also done some courses in Python, R programming separately. I feel like I have a new found passion for programming. I look forward to hearing back from you. JazakAllah Khair

[@recluze]

I think you can apply to a DS degree but I think a better option would be to just learn CS well, do some projects in Data Science and see how that helps in your own career path. Surely, you can find some opportunities over there that can benefit from your DS skills. If not, switching to DS degree and then following a CS-based track would also be an option.

[@workhardmillionsonwelfared1329]

Yes it makes perfect sense, I am grateful for such valuable advice. I quit banking long ago and am currently working in the academia and having the best time of my life.

[@recluze]

Robotics is 50% computer science. As soon as you have the hardware, you need CS to do something interesting with it. So, my answer would still be the same: unless you have a very good university dedicated to robotics, I would still recommend a CS program.

I also suggested that our Council should offer the specialization field of AI DS SE in the 6th to 8th semesters of the BSCS program instead of starting a completely different degree. But universities have some political motives for accommodating extra staff and teachers in new programs and increasing the number of students.

[@recluze]

Exactly. The introduction of these programs is motivated not by academics or market need but due to some other reason. And the students will be the one who pay the price in the long run.

Yes it has changed a lot. Now a lot of BSSE Degrees from different universities are recognized by PEC and the situation has changed alot

[@recluze]

The situation is exactly the same (and worst in some places). The curriculums are not changing because most universities don't even pay attention to the industry feedback. The industry needs people who have practical skills and those are being ignored by a majority of institutions. In fact, the introduction of specializations such as AI, CyberSec are going to cause problems for many students when they graduate but those problems will become visible after a few years when the first batches of these programs graduate. My recommendation is still strongly to go into CS only.
