Difference b/w software and IT engineering
IT means 'information technology' and is a broad term that covers using using computers and software to solve organizational problems.
When we use the term software engineering, we are referring to the specific process of creating software programs; a process that goes from gathering requirements to building the actual software source code.
You can be engaged in IT without doing any software engineering. There are plenty of organizations that have data centers where they purchase and operate other people's software but do build the software themselves.
But it is impossible to be involved in software engineering and not be involved in IT because you develop computer programs today by using computers and software.
You need to decide whether you want to build software, install and operate it, or simply use it.
Dear Aniket,
IT professionals installed computer systems, using software and maintaining networks and databases, while computer scientists deals in mathematics and software design.
Both the branches have good scope in terms of jobs but software engineeres have advantage over IT.
Good Luck!!
I will tell you the major difference between IT and software engineering.IT means 'information technology' and is a broad term that covers using computers and software to solve organizational problems.Software engineering deals with writing, designing/ developing software that forms the soul of computer systems (literally), while when we talk about IT (Infirmation tech.) It deals with storing, securing , processing and retrieval of data and maintaining servers. In IT you just focus on using softwares and database system while in software engineering you build these softwares that IT professionals use.
Feel free to ask if you have any more query.All d best
IT engineering : Related to information technology, database sharing and management software development
