Computer programmers create software. Systems are constructed by software engineers. As far as I can tell, that's the main difference. It's one thing to create a software that really does anything. It's another thing entirely to design a software that works and can interact with a wide variety of other programs. And it's an entirely different thing to write a programme that can work with many other programs, run many instances of these programs simultaneously so you can handle massive transaction volumes, and then figure out how to keep the whole thing running when one or more of the programs is failing, especially since a failure in o...more

The major part of software engineering is coding. But there are different things to learn associated with coding to support it. They've different job roles also. And above all you have to have a good knowledge of software and "computer" to be a good coder. -
Dear Sripal,
Software Engineering is all about, how well you can design a solution to a given problem. Software Design, maintenance or testing are various job roles in this field. Coding is essential to grab the better opportunities in this field. So better focus on good coding and algorithm design skills. Wish you all the best. -
No, software engineering consists only 2 or 3 subjects of coding in 8 semesters. There are a lot of important subjects in software engineering. All the best.
