Computer Science, Sofware Engineering & IT

Computing technologies are everywhere: camera phones, mp3 players, technologies for talking,gaming, file-sharing, and accessing money via ATMs. We interact with computers and software

hundreds of times a day. Computer science lies at the heart of the technology revolution. It is

 based on how we use algorithms to store and transform information – the basic building block of 

computing. Computer science encompasses studies from both science and engineering. Thescience side deals with the understanding of fundamental issues in computing; the practical

application of principles and maintenance of computer systems is drawn from the engineering

field.

Careers

Computer scientists can be found working in commerce, biotechnology, manufacturing and the

software industry. They are employed as systems engineers, consultants, research scientists, programmers and in management positions.
