Well one you get a masters in engnering and one is a masters in science (computer sicnence).
So the diffrences would be the same as the diffrences between electrical engerning and computer science.

Dan: Hey now. It's not. While Computer Eng and Electrical Eng might be similar. Software Eng is much different from Electrical.
How similar is Software Eng and CompSci at the masters level? I have no idea. I could take a wild guess that Software Engineering would be similar to Systems Engineering - with a ComSci twist.
I know what CompSci is like at the masters level. And there can be LOT of math involved
Edit: All engineering involves a lot of math. So really you're looking at a math-math situation. However Engineering math can be more applied than theoretical, but this is not always true.

"SE will be the same always n only the banner under which it is offered varies. Even in UofC only the Electrical and Computer Engineering dept offers Msc. SE (course based). This would be same as the SE offerec by Compsci Dept. " - I guess

Having done both Engineering and CS Math (albeit at an intro level), I can confirm that Engineering is more on the applied side of things (solve equations to calculate required forces), while CS Math is more abstract (such as various proofs). Though obviously there's some overlap, which will likely be great in Software Engineering, as there are less physical forces involved. Think computation of lower/upper bounds of complexities.

Yes but Tony you'd have to keep in mind that at the Masters' level almost anything can shoot off into the theoretical world. However, yes, this could be less likely with a course-based program.
Btw, we did a bit on complexities in one of our courses in electrical eng. Its important not only for algorithms but also for digital circuits.

My interpation of the question was electrical eng vs computer sci at masters level, so i did not mean to side anything about computer enginering or software enginering or any kind of comparsion between any inter engeringer programs....

How abt the placements and Scope of JOB after Msc. SE in university of calgary?
Especially how abt the placements in UofC?

There are no "placements" for jobs. You research who is hiring. You send in your resume. If it's good, you have an interview. If you are the best candidate for the job, you get hired.
That being said, a University degree does not necessary guarantee anything.
