Computer is a degree with endless possibilities. Today, computers are used in
almost every aspect of our lives: in car engines, microwave ovens, video games,
watches, telephones, desktops at home and work, mainframe computers in
government and industry, and supercomputers expanding the frontiers of science
and technology. The computer industry is one of the fastest growing segments of
our economy and that growth promises to continue well into the next century,
To maintain a competitive edge, industry and commerce must continue to make
creative scientific and engineering advances as well as produce high quality
products. More than ever, there is a demand for a prepared work force with the
scientific and technical training necessary to perform effectively on the job.
Now is the time to plan yourfuture in computing
Computing professionals might find themselves in a variety of environments in
academia, research, industry, government, private and business organizations --
analyzing problems for solutions, formulating and testing, using advanced
communications or multi-media equipment, or working in teams for product
development. Here's a short list of research and vocational areas in computing.
- Artificial Intelligence -- Develop computers that simulate
human learning and reasoning ability.
- Computer Design and Engineering -- Design new computer
circuits, microchips, and other electronic components.
- Computer Architecture -- Design new computer instruction sets,
and combine electronic or optical components to provide powerful but
cost-effective computing.
- Information Technology -- Develop and manage information
systems that support a business or organization.
- Software Engineering -- Develop methods for the production of
software systems on time, within budget, and with few or no defects.
- Computer Theory -- Investigate the fundamental theories of how
computers solve problems, and apply the results to other areas of computer
science.
- Operating Systems and Networks -- Develop the basic software
computers use supervise themselves or to communicate with other computers.
- Software Application—Apply computing and technology to solving problems outside
the computer field –in education or medicine, for example.
Those seeking a college degree in Computer Science will find that such a
degree opens the door to a variety of exciting career choices. As institutions,
businesses, and organizations continue to integrate increasingly sophisticated
computer technologies into their frameworks the need for individuals skilled in
computer science continues to grow.
The job titles that fall under the heading of computer science vary from
organization to organization; however, each position requires specialized
training and experience with particular software and hardware programs.
Individuals trained in computer science often specialize and work as systems
analysts, database administrators, or computer scientists focusing on research
and theoretical issues. Despite what focus an individual working in the field of
computer science chooses, all computer science careers have opportunities to
solve problems, create new technologies, conduct research, and create innovative
ways to apply computer technologies.
