CS Action Against SWE

The Real Challenge

A Software Engineering degree might feel like a smooth path for those eager to jump straight into practical coding. But let’s be honest, SWE programs often attract those looking for comfort over challenge. Computer Science is a battlefield for the intellectually bold: complex algorithms, theoretical rigor, and the kind of mental stamina that builds true versatility.

Sure, the dropout rate is higher, but that’s not a flaw. It’s a filter. SWE students? they are just failed CS students, not strong enough to stand the test of time. Just remember: CS builds the foundations. SWE builds on them.

Why CS Students Lead Innovation

Computer Science students don’t just learn to use technology, they learn to invent it. While Software Engineering focuses on implementation and tooling, CS goes deeper: theory, systems, architecture, optimization, and computation itself.

That means CS students design better algorithms, architect cleaner systems, and understand the why behind the code, not just the how. They explore topics like:

When the hardest problems come up, performance bottlenecks, scalability limits, or writing something that's never been built before, it's the CS mindset that rises to the challenge.

The best engineers know how to ship. The best computer scientists know how to shape what’s possible.
