Compare the topics and methods of the computing disciplines. Just what are the differences among these disciplines?


Topics for this week is Computing Disciplines. Many people consider the contemporary time period the “era of computing”. Indeed, technological advances in computing field has develop many exciting new directions in the world. In order to make people will able to understand computing field, we break the computing field down into five which is: Computer engineering, computer science, information systems, information technology, software engineering, and cognitive science. Absolutely each of these computing disciplines are different. Please refer table below about differences of computing disciplines.
