• Computer and information scientists offer expertise in the effective and efficient use of computers for tackling a broad spectrum of practical challenges, usually in a team environment. Computer and information science includes the following sub-specialties: operating systems, compilers, computer graphics, computer game design, computer networks and network administration, security, enterprise computing technologies, information and database systems and database administration, information retrieval, artificial intelligence and machine learning, robotics, theoretical computer science, programming languages, software engineering and web technologies.
  • Software engineering is the area within computer science that is concerned with the theoretical and practical aspects of the detailed design, building, testing, modification, optimization, and maintenance of large, high quality, software systems for a wide range of applications across society. Software engineers analyze users? needs and work as part of a core team to design, create, and implement high quality and cost effective new software, computer applications, and utility programs. A core team may be composed of software engineering, manufacturing, design, management, and marketing people who work together until the software product is released and implemented.
