| Our Computing University Foundation offers a wide range of careers within the areas of Computer Science or Computer Engineering. Computer science is related to the wide range of computer professionals who usually design computers and the software that runs them, develop information technologies, and develop and adapt principles for applying computers to new uses. Computer scientists perform many of the same duties as other computer professionals, but their jobs are distinguished by the higher level of theoretical expertise and innovation they apply to complex problems and the creation or application of new technology. Computer engineering supports a growing industrial need for technical staff knowledgeable in the fundamental topics of both computer science and electrical engineering, including the design and implementation of computer hardware and software systems. This has been a fast growing industry of the past 30 years and continues to provide vast array of opportunities for graduates. The range of opportunities varies from hardware engineers, to programmers, systems analysts, software developers and business system professionals. For more information press here. | ![]() | ||
