Computer Software Engineer?

[FutureEngineer]

Hey, Sorry for being so rash and urgent, but i need some advice on which to pursuing on a B.S. in C.E. or a B.S. in C.S. What i've been hearing lately that if you want to become a Software Engineer, you have to get a B.S. in Computer Science. What I would like to know is that can I get into the field of Software Engineering even though if i finish school with a B.S. in Computer Engineering?

That's nonsense - doesn't matter what your degree is, most "software" is actually created and written by programmers, not scientists or engineers - frankly most of whom, these days, don't even have a related undergraduate degree. Learn it on the job, through online courses, etc.

Both B.Sc Computer Science and B.Eng in Computer Engineering are the same.

Just that B.Eng in Computer Engineering study 2 year in Electrical Engineering and 2 year in Computer Science.

Both course are overlapping in most country.
Both course enable you to become Software Engineer...

However, one of the best Software Engineer i know, come from law background.
