Computer Science Engineering

  From the cutting edge improvements in medical science helping to detect and cure fatal diseases like cancer early  or  landing, take-offs  of commercial jetliners across the globe that keeps businesses ticking to things like cell phones, televisions, washing machines  which makes day to day lives simpler, efficient and fun! .If the answers to the questions above is YES consider a career in computer engineering . with increase  in  use of  computers and arrival of new technologies in every conceivable  sector from retail to agriculture to academics a career in computer engineering is highly rewarding

 A graduate in computer engineering  should  have adequate knowledge on both software and hardware  which are the two main sectors in this industry. while for the software component you would be exposed to a various programming  languages and operating platforms and  that are in use currently . starting from the basic C and C++ the building blocks of all computer programs which help in developing appreciation for basic nitty gritties  and logic to high level programming  languages such as Java, C# etc that are used in most of applications today . you would also be exposed to the advantages and disadvantages of various languages and platforms over each other. Also as a major you  would be exposed to various software development lifecycle techniques in use today on how need assessment is done , Language and platforms are selected coding followed by debugging is done before the final deployment of any software. To achieve these learning objectives  a graduate will undergo training modules in databse design and connectivity, web application and e-commerce, information security, compiler design etc. The list is only indicative and not exhaustive. For the hardware component the course provides an overall introduction to hardware skills needed to help meet the growing requirement for hardware professionals. The students would be able to describe the internal components of a computer and its functions they would be exposed to how to assemble PC and laptops, installations of operating systems , configuring and designing of networks. All in all this course helps you to develop lateral thinking skills and equips you for critical problem solving. Further if you wish to pursue high end research or contribute as an academician several post- graduate and Ph.D courses are available for same 

 As analyst , researcher , developer , tester etc
