Systems engineering focuses on designing and managing complex systems over their lifecycles through processes like modeling the system, integration, and assessment. It involves systems modeling, analysis, and decision making. Computer engineering integrates electrical engineering and computer science to develop computer hardware and software. It includes researching, developing, and testing equipment and programming software. While both fields manage complexity, systems engineering considers a system as a whole through its lifecycle, while computer engineering specifically focuses on the development of computer technologies and components.
