Software engineering is essentially the practical application of computer science, and since most software engineers hold CS degrees and most software engineering positions ask for CS degrees it seems reasonable to correlate the two. Software engineering may not be computer science, but if you want to be a software engineer it seems that a CS degree is the best path.</p>

CSE is not as consistently available as pure CS or CE degrees. There are some schools that offer it, but I am not sure how many people are really confident of the content.</p>
