Software engineer is focused most on the practice programming and computer scientist is focused on artificial intelligence and investigations.

a computer scientist is more focused on developing new algorithms and methods, so in a way, yes more focused on research. a software engineer is responsible for developing, lets say, a blueprint for a program, they are the ones who decide the ins and outs of the software, but not necessary are the ones to code
