    Aggrie Osbourne
    The document discusses the relationship between information technology and other computing disciplines such as computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, and information systems. It explains that while information technology and these disciplines are related and overlap in certain areas, they each have distinct focuses. For example, computer science studies computation and programming, computer engineering combines computer science and electrical engineering, information systems process organizational data, and software engineering builds software that meets customer needs on time and budget.

    Relationship between Information

    Technology and other disciplines in


    Computing
    Computing

    Is the activity of using and developing computer


    technology, computer hardware and software.

     It is the computer-specific part of information


    technology
    Disciplines in Computing:

    Computer Science
    Software Engineering
    Computer Engineering
    Information Systems
    Computer Science

    The study of computing, programming, and


    computation in correspondence with computer
    systems. This field of study utilizes theories on how
    computers work to design, test and analyze concepts.
    Computer Science

    Relationship with Information Technology


     Similarities
     The two goes hand in hand
     Differences
     Computer science refers to the processes used to create usable computer programs
    and applications together with all theory behind those processes.
     Information technology on the other hand refers to the application of computer
    programs to solve human/business processes.
    Computer Engineering

    This is the process of analyzing and designing all


    software and hardware for a computer system.

     Computer engineering is the combination of two fields:


    computer science and electrical engineering.
    Computer Engineering

    Relationship with Information Technology


     Similarities
     The two goes hand in hand
     Differences
     Information technology involves all aspects of computing and
    technology . It deals with the study of how computers can be used
    to solve problems
    Computer Engineering focuses on:
     Researching, designing, developing and testing of computer
    hardware.
     Circuit design, control systems and digital signal processing, etc.
    Information Systems

    Information System (IS) is a system of people,


    data records and activities that process the data and
    information in an organization. It includes the
    organization's manual and automated processes.
    Information Systems

    Relationship with Information Technology


     Similarities
     IT /IS uses computers to carry out activities
     Differences
     Information Systems are products of Information Technology
    developed which enables storage, manipulation and
    distribution of information.
     IS does not necessarily use a computer to process its data, IT
    does.
    Software Engineering

     This is the study of building software that meets


    the needs of the customer on time and within
    budget decided on.
     Software engineering is a “spin-off” of computer
    science, informed by the engineering disciplines.
    Software Engineering

     Differences:

     Similarities:
     Information technology is the entire field of applying in the business
    domain, the use of computers, networking, data distribution, and
    anything else which has anything to do with the collection,
    processing, and dissemination of information on stable
    infrastructures.

     Software engineering is the elite version of IT where an


    understanding of the underlying hardware, electronics, and physics is
    required to assess that the resulting product will not only meet
    functional requirements, but also meet timing, safety, reliability,
    security and fault tolerance requirements .
