Computing Careers
(From
The IEEE Computer
Society)
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 Architecture -- Design
new computer instruction sets, and combine electronic or optical
components to provide powerful but cost-effective computing.
-
Computer Design and Engineering
-- Design new computer circuits, microchips, and other electronic
components.
-
Computer Theory -- Investigate
the fundamental theories of how computers solve problems, and apply the
results to other areas of computer science.
-
Information Technology -- Develop
and manage information systems that support a business or organization.
-
Operating Systems and Networks --
Develop the basic software computers use to supervise themselves or to
communicate with other computers.
-
Software Applications -- Apply
computing and technology to solving problems outside the computer field -
in education or medicine, for example.
-
Software Engineering -- Develop
methods for the production of software systems on time, within budget, and
with few or no defects.
