Topic: Thread (software engineering)


  
 Thread (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A thread in computer science is short for a thread of execution or a sequence of instructions.
Threads are used, for example, to enable a program to render its graphical user interface while waiting for input from the user or performing a task like spell checking.
Multiple threads can be executed in parallel on many computer systems.

 Software architecture -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
Software architecture underlies the practice of building (Click link for more info and facts about computer software) computer software.
The software architect consults with clients on conceptual issues, managers on broad design issues, software engineers on innovative structural features, and computer programmers on implementation techniques, appearance, and style.
The software architect develops concepts and plans for software modularity, module interaction methods, user interface dialog style, interface methods with external systems, innovative design features, and high-level business object operations, logic, and flow.

CNN Article on buggy software and it's cost.
This isn't a software bug but a design error and possibly one that may not have been found no matter how much time was spent in design, without the foreknowledge that the failure had occured.

 More on Software Engineering
Software engineering (SE) is the profession, practiced by software engineers, concerned with creating and maintaining software applications by applying technologies and practices from computer science, project management, and other fields.
Many believe that software engineering is a part of computer science, because of their close historical connections and their relationship to mathematics.
Today, about 1/2 of all software engineers earn computer science or software engineering degrees.

 Agent Oriented Software Engineering 2000
Software architectures that contain many dynamically interacting components, each with their own thread of control, and engaging in complex coordination protocols, are typically orders of magnitude more complex to correctly and efficiently engineer than those that simply compute a function of some input through a single thread of control.
Software engineers have derived a progressively better understanding of the characteristics of complexity in software.
Since the 1980s, software agents and multi-agent systems have grown into what is now one of the most active areas of research and development activity in computing generally.

 Software Engineering and the Art of Design
The body of established science that you need to know to become a software engineer is rather small, and there are a number of very good software developers who have never formally studied the field at all.
The point of all this, if there is one, is that those who want to reduce software engineering (by which I mean the designing and producing of high-quality software systems) to a set of rules and procedures that can be followed by anyone to get consistently good results simply don't understand the field.
One possible explanation is that software engineering is a fairly new field.

A co-worker took mechanical engineering at MIT and mentioned that while the engineering students learned C++, the computer science majors tended to think of a programming language as a very plastic thing to be debated or created rather than just learned.
My impression is that someone with the computer science degree would be able to perform the same tasks as the one with the MIS or software engineering degree, but not vice-versa.

 Deterco Gagemaker Thread Engineering Software
Gagemaker's Thread Disk for Windows software is designed for use by anyone who needs to calculate critical thread dimensions, but doesn't have the time to figure all the calculations.
One of the software's primary benefits is that it is easy to use-anyone can get accurate, immediate results with minimal input.
Once the results are computed, the software displays several types of information, including dimensions and tolerances for product threads, ring gages, set plugs, plug gages and Gagemaker gages.

 Amazon.ca: Books: The Project Manager's Guide to Software Engineering's Best Practices
Software Systems Engineering, which argues that software development projects are most successful when developed using a systems level viewpoint.
This is a completely updated book that departs from the earlier "Software Engineering Project Management" by Thayer (1997) in that it's more anchored in software engineering standards than in project management.
This book, containing all original material, is based on the proposition that the IEEE Software Engineering Standards capture many of the fundamental 'best practices' of software project management.

The first thing you have to understand is that there isn't a lot of functional (or even declarative) software engineering experience out there.

Slight digression: Would it be good to have a forum to discuss the specific issues which arise when doing software engineering in Haskell, or declarative languages in general?

 Comp Sci vs Software Engineering - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
To answer the original question (as this thread has strayed offtopic..), neither degree would be better or worse than the other, but at the same time it depends on what you want to do and the type of company you want to work at.
At the same time, I also suggest the software engineering degree in case you change your mind about working in the games industry during your collegiate tenure.
Companies in other sectors of the industry are looking for people with knowledge of all phases of the project lifecycle, and a software engineering degree exposes you to these.
