Computer System Engineering & Science

Computer Science:

In this field, professionals may undertake research for design of sophisticated, hardware or software. They may be providing conceptual or practical ideas about how new hardware or software can be developed, implemented or managed.

Computer System Engineering:

Regardless of whether they develop software or hardware, engineer’s job is to repair the computers that are not functioning properly. Software engineers develop computer software systems, such as those that control manufacturing process. These professional have strong programming skills. Most hardware engineers are involved in the development of hardware such as computer chips. However some hardware engineers put together system in order to handle client’s needs. They supervise the installation of the system and monitor its performance. There is another group of engineers who are working on database system for design, development and administration. Database administration or developer uses database management system software to organize, store and retrieve data. They are generally well versed with the operating system, database management system and programming.

Mini – PC TX2 Small Factor PC

Size doesn’t matter!

The TX2 claims to be the smallest computer in the world. Sure at 156x146x56 mm and weighing an obscene 1.1 kilos, you wouldn’t find too many smaller PCs. But even if you did, they wouldn’t pack the punch of a TX2. Aimed as a desktop replacement, this small
wonder is powered by Intel 1.3 GHz Tualatin processor, with up to 512 MB RAM, a DVD/SDRW combo drive and a 30 GB hard drive. Using advanced heat reduction techniques (Its Makers claim that they’ve borrowed a leaf out from F1 car manufacturing), every free inch of the TX2 is adorned with ports, including an S-Video, two FireWire, four USB, an IrDA and a 10/100 base Ethernet.

SanDIsk Cruzer Thumb Drive

Flash in the pocket
Most flash drives have fixed capacities, so if you need to carry more data than your drive can hold, you’ll need to buy a larger capacity drive. The SanDisk Cruzer gets around this problem by using a stamp-sized Secure Digital (SD) flash memory, which you can swap with other or higher capacity SD cards. It plugs into any USB 1.1 port, works without any driver installation and is compatible with both PC’s and Macs. Its stylish, compact design allows it to be dropped into any pocket for easy transportation of your data between any location.

Career in Information communication and Technology (ICT)

Information and communication Technologies (ICT’s) are vital in the development of nations, particularly developing countries. It allows nations to achieve development goals by speeding up the Production process, enhancing creation and sharing of knowledge and connecting individuals, groups, enterprises and governments in speedy and cost effective manner. Information and communication technology (ICT), ICT is emerging as a big industry in India touching US $ 10 billion, besides providing and creating large-scale employment opportunities for the ICT professional. It is primarily concerned with the processing of information, which is found in many forms including information required for business transactions, booking seats for travel, management of materials and products during manufacturing process controlling and coordinating satellite systems, content development and public, material and process management.

Change in socio- economic and technological developments are compelling organizations to adopt ICT in order to develop solutions pertaining to problems arising from new organizational forms and work arrangements. ICT professional have a crucial and challenging part to play in the effective application of computers and computing technology to achieve effective processing of information.

Realizing the potential for development in ICT sectors, Ministry of Information Technology, Govt. of India, has implemented various schemes / programmes for the promotion of ICT and to create sufficient human resources. Some of these schemes are Communication and Strategic Electronics, Component and Material Development, Centre for Development of advance computing (C-DAC), Technology Development for Indian Language (TDIL), E-commerce and Information Security, Software Technology Parks (STP’s), Digital DNA Parks, E –Governance, Department of Electronics Accredited Computer Courses (DOEACC), Education and Research Network (ERNET), National Information Centre (NIC) etc.

DOEACC, Society is engaged in generation of quality manpower and development of skilled professionals in the areas of information, electronics, and communication technologies and allied areas. It provides world class education and trainings to learners through active design and development of innovative curriculum based on changing ICT scenario.

Software Technology Parks of India are rendering services for the software exports. The exports made by STPI units are growing day by day, due to the gradual shift from on – site software development to offshore software development. Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET) is engaged in development of viable technology in the area of electronics. ERNET, India is running a national wide academic and research network, providing contents to the users in the education and research.
