You'll find ordinary differential equations (ODEs) being used in chemical engineering for many things, such as determining reaction rates, activation energies, mass transfer operations, heat transfer operations, and momentum transfer operations.
There is no application of differential equation in computer science
Many believe that mechanical engineering is the hardest type of engineering. However, electrical and bio-medical engineering are also quite difficult.
Partial differential equations can be used to model physical systems over time and so can for example describe how you walk. In such an application a faulty stride can be found by comparing a patient's walk with a 'normal' walk.
Many of the calculations done by a working ChE involve Thermodynamics, Physical Chemistry and Kinetics and Catalysis. It's not just adding and subtracting by any means. A firm background in Math is required. I suggest that you find a copy of Perry's Chemical Engineering Handbook in the library, and thumb through it. You will get an feel for some of the work done.
All sorts of applications in engineeringand one common application comes in Fourier analysis of repetitive waveforms into a fundamental and a set of harmonics. Integrals are also fundamental to the theory of orthogonal functions, which are used extensively in the solutions of the differential equations which crop up frequently is all branches of electrical engineering.
