Computer disciplines
is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications
and it has five parts which are Computer Science (CS), Software Engineering
(SE), Information Systems (IS), Cognitive Science (CS) and Computer Engineering
(CE).
First of
all, all of these disciplines actually related to each other and there are some
mutual and common things among them and on the other hand each one has
something specific by its own.
First
discipline is (CS) Computer Science: CS is the mother of all computer
disciplines because it studies the theory of computation and the creating a
system, a computer scientist specializes in the
theory of computation and the design of computational systems and he try to
develop news idea about the system according to the mathematical concepts.
CS has strong connection with other disciplines because the CS develop the system and create new ideas to make the system easy to the users and CS differ from other discipline that CS studies and concern on the theory and on the mathematical (software) part rather than hardware.

Next is (SE) Software Engineering, after Computer Science directly come
Software Engineering because SE applies the principles and the theory of
Computer science to find good solutions for software problems. SE is the
application of systematic, disciplined to maintenance of it and develop
software. The differences between SE and others disciplines is that Software
Engineering is focus on the software and how to develop it by applying the
concept of Computer Science.
Then we have Information
System IS, Information System is the combination of information technology and
people's activities that support operations, management and decision making.
The difference between information technology (IT)and information systems (IS)
is that IS focus on the applications and implications of computing in the
business domain, however, IT does not focus on a single domain in which IT is
practiced, but instead focuses on the integration and deployment of computing
technology. But the similarities between
them is Organizational management and IT infrastucture.
After IS there is Cognitive Science (CS), Cognitive Science is the study of the mind and its processes. It
includes research on intelligence and behaviour and especially focusing on the
information and how we present and transform it in the system and machine for
example, language. There are many topics related to the CS, such as psychology,
artificial intelligence, philosophy and linguistics. So as we can see here that
the Cognitive Science focuses on the understanding the nature of the human mind
rather than on software or hardware like other disciplines
Finally,
is Computer Engineering (CE), Compute Engineering is the most general
discipline in all discipline computers because CE is the combination of two
fields: computer science and electrical engineering. CE also is the process of analyzing
and designing all hardware, software, and operating systems for a computer.
CE called
the body and the mind because it needs to understand both the hardware and the
software of computers.
Actually
Computer Engineering has many similarities to all computer disciplines due to
it study the hardware and the software. For example, IT and computer
engineering have similarities because IT focuses more on the hardware on the
other hand CE also study the hardware beside the software.
