  2. Let’s describe each of them…

  3. Computer Engineering • concerned with the design and construction of computers and computer-based systems. • hardware, software, communications, and the interaction among them • Currently, a dominant area within computing engineering is embedded systems • devices that have SW and HW embedded in them

  4. Computer Science • spans a wide range • from its theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting-edge developments in robotics, computer vision, intelligent systems, bioinformatics, and other exciting areas • a comprehensive foundation that permits graduates to adapt to new technologies and new ideas

  5. The work of computer scientists • Design and implement software • programming & supervise other programmers • Devise new ways to use computers • WWW, data mining, intelligent devices, deciphering DNA etc. • Develop effective ways to solve computing problems • theoretical background  to determine the best performance possible • study of algorithms  to develop new approaches that provide better performance

  6. Software Engineering • the discipline of developing and maintaining software systems that: • behave reliably and efficiently, • affordable to develop and maintain • satisfy all the requirements • SE has evolved • the growing impact of large and expensive software systems in a wide range of situations • the increased importance of software in safety-critical applications

  7. Information System

  8. IS (cont’d) • focuses on the information aspects of information technology • views technology as an instrument for generating, processing, and distributing information

  9. Information Technology • In the broadest sense: often used to refer to all of computing • In academia: undergraduate degree programs that prepare students to meet the computer technology needs of organizations

  10. IT (cont’d) • (Networked) Computer-based systems must work properly, be secure, and upgraded, maintained, and replaced as appropriate. • Graduates: possess the right combination of knowledge and practical, hands-on expertise to take care of both an organization’s information technology infrastructure and the people who use it

  11. Graphical views

  12. Focus on CS • computer scientists: • care about: down as far as the software that enables devices to work and up as far as the information systems that help organizations to operate • design and develop all types of software from systems infrastructure (operating systems, communications programs, etc.) to application technologies (web browsers, databases, search engines, etc.) • create these capabilities but they do not manage the deployment of them & do not select, tailor, or learn to use computing products

  13. Curriculum Summary • Comparative weight of computing topics • Comparative weight of non-computing topics • Degree Outcomes • Comparing Expectations of Program Graduates

  14. #1: Designing and implementing software • Includes: web development, interface design, security issues, mobile computing, and so on. • This is the career path that the majority of computer science graduates choose. • Career opportunities occur in a wide variety of settings including large or small software companies, large or small computer services companies, and large organizations of all kinds (industry, government, banking, healthcare, etc.). • SE also educate students for this career path.

  15. #2: Devising new ways to use computers • Refers to innovation in the application of computer technology. • A career path in this area can involve advanced graduate work, followed by a position in a research university or industrial R&D lab, or it can involve entrepreneurial activity such as was evident during the dot-com boom of the 1990s, or it can involve a combination of the two.

  16. #3: Developing effective ways to solve computing problems • Refers to the application or development of computer science theory and knowledge of algorithms to ensure the best possible solutions for computationally intensive problems. • a career path in the development of new computer science theory typically requires graduate work to the Ph.D. level, followed by a position in a research university or an industrial R&D laboratory.

  17. #4: Planning and managing organizational technology infrastructure • Refers to the work for which the new information technology (IT) programs explicitly aim to educate students • CS programs do not target but nonetheless draws many computer science graduates.

  19. ??? • How about Indonesia? • Which CS career path is the most promising for the next 5 – 10 years? • What is your SWOT? • What is your grand strategy to deal with those facts? • The answers could be your 1st blog entry
