In a nutshell, this is a crucial difference. Historically, it was common practice to classify computer engineering as a branch of mathematics. Simply put, it comprises the following:
The integers and other discrete mathematical structures (graph theory, combinatorics, logic)
Linguistic Hypotheses for Computer Code (type theory, compilers, languages)
Information Theorems (crypto, errors, compression)
theorizing through use of computers (complexity, crypto, automatons)
Methods for Analyzing Data Structures and Algorithms (can also include complexity via algo analysis)
AI (machine learning, robotics, pattern recognition, data mining) (machine l

AI (machine learning, robotics, pattern recognition, data mining) (machine learning, robotics, pattern recognition, data mining) (robots, AI, pattern recognition, data mining)
Computational Parallelism, Communication Networks, and High-Performance Computing (HPC)
Frameworks and systems (digital logic, OS, networking, systems arch. )
Subjects concerned with computers (often scientific computing and numerics, but sometimes also include graphics/visualization). Graphics (computer vision in some conditions, geometry) (computer vision in certain circumstances, geometry) (geometry, or computer-aided vision)
Software engineering
My view, which is shared by only a few, is that software engineering is a subfield of computer Science. It's vital to remember that in software engineering, everything is built from scratch. This area of engineering is very real and important. You'll encounter typical difficulties associated with the engineering field in general, such as:
The organisation and Design of Computer Programs
Expandability without compromising functionality
Validation, automation, and testing; they are the three terms. Assuring High-Quality Performance
UI/UX
Methods (sometimes) (sometimes)
The second list is meaningless without the information in the first. Learning the fundamentals of computer Science is the first step in entering the more applied field of software engineering. This is the distinction between a physicist and an engineer in any other scientific or technological field. While engineers do make use of Physics the discipline is about much more than just equations and theoretical reasoning.

CS is technical rather SE is also technical but here coding matters.

In computer science, you will study all information regarding software, hardware, Internet communications, etc. Score better to choose CSE.

Hi, In contrast to CS & SE, Computer Engineering (CE) emphasizes solving problems in digital hardware & the hardware - software interface. Computer Science (CS) focuses on understanding, designing & developing programs & computers. Software Engineering (SE) deals with building & maintaining software systems.
