Lesson 2 Flashcards
Computing Disciplines
Computer Science (CS)
Information Systems (IS)
Information Technology (IT)
Computer Engineering (CpE)
Data Science
study of computing concepts
and theories, algorithmic foundations and new developments in computing.
The program prepares students to design and create algorithmically complex software and develop new and effective algorithms for solving computing problems
Computer Science (CS)
study of application and effect of
information technology to organizations. Graduates of the program should be able to
implement an information system, which considers complex technological and organizational factors affecting it
Information Systems (IS)
includes the study of the utilization of both hardware and software technologies involving planning, installing,customizing, operating, managing and administering, and maintaining
information technology infrastructure that provides computing solutions to address the needs of an organization.
Information Technology (IT)
embodies the science and
technology of design, development, implementation, maintenance, and integration of software and hardware components in modern computing systems and computer-controlled equipment.
Computer Engineering (CpE)
interdisciplinary
program that is designed to equip its graduates with integrated skill sets spanning mathematics, statistics, machine learning, databases and other branches of computer science with the aim of extracting new knowledge from data in various forms in order to provide actionable insights for decision makers

creating new innovations in computing technology and developing
solutions to enhance the efficiency of old technology. Upon experience,
these scientists are usually offered significant salaries and broad
exposure to career prospects, as well
Research and Development computing professional -
- In charge of developing software
systems and applications based on the clients’ specifications or
business needs. The use of system tools and programming codes by
application software developers enables them to customize programs,
implement software solutions, modify test codes, and update existing
applications in order to improve efficiency and performance.
Applications Software Developer -
write, edit, and test the code and scripts necessary for the correct operation of computer programs andapplications.
Computer Programmer
- collect, organize and interpret statistical information to
help colleagues and clients use it make decisions
Data Analyst
ensures that computer systems, infrastructures, and systems are operating as effectively and efficiently as possible at a high level inside a company. In order to satisfy requirements, system analysts are responsible for investigating issues, identifying solutions, suggesting courses of action, and collaborating with stakeholders
