CAREER IN COMPUTER ENGINEERING

Computer and information technology continues to undergo rapid change and improvement in performance and cost reduction. The growth in power and performance of computer hardware has made possible and feasible more complex and capable software. The new developments include artificial intelligence, expert systems, executive information systems and decision support systems. Future applications are likely to include sophisticated voice and handwriting recognition and processing

The courses in the university system may be broadly grouped into seven major categories:

  • basic courses inducting students into the world of computer and IT, e.g., BSc (Computer Science), Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS),
  • engineering and technology courses offered by engineering colleges, e.g., Diploma in Computer Science and Engineering/Technology; BE/BTech and ME/MTech in Computer Science and Engineering/ Technology;
  • software courses e.g., BSc/MSc, MS/MTech (Software/Software Engineering);
  • application courses, e.g, Bachelor of Computer Applications(BCA), Diploma in Computer Applications (DCA), Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA), Master of Computer Applications (MCA), MSc(Computer Applications);
  • information technology courses, e.g, BE/BTech (Information Technology), Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT), Master of Information Technology (MIT), PG Diploma in IT (PGDIT);
  • management related courses integrating management concepts with IT; e.g, Master of Computer Management (MCM), Postgraduate Diploma in IT and Management (PGDITM)
  • Internet courses, and
  • e-Commerce.
