Computer Science is largely about computer theory, including stuff like algorithm design, information security, architecture, and other stuff.

Software Engineering is more towards the design side of how do you actually build a whole product. This includes the design, building, testing, and maintaining stages of the software lifecycle.

You can roughly think of it as the difference between implementing something that is detailed in a ticket vs writing out the requirements in that ticket.
