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.

Job Opportunities
Where to start
In order to start ICT career there are two entry points. FIRST ENTRY POINT would be the science stream with mathematics at plus two levels. At this level various options are BE(Computer Science), B. tech (Computer Science), BCS (Bachelor in Computer Science), Bachelor in Science with IT (B.Sc-IT), Diploma courses or certificate courses.
SECOND ENTRY POINT: It starts after graduation in Science with mathematics up to graduation level. Here one can go for Master in Computer Science (MCS), Master of Technology (M. tech), Master in Science with IT (M.Sc - IT), Master in Computer Management, Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA) etc.
In addition to the Prerequisites mentioned above, their will be entrance test for entry in ICT career at both levels. Mathematics remains one of the prerequisite at both levels for entry into ICT career. However, various Universities especially open Universities and those , offering the above courses through distance mode of learning are keeping admission open for other streams like Commerce, Biology and Arts.
Job Opportunities
Job opportunities for ICT professionals can be classified into three broad areas:

SanDIsk Cruzer Thumb Drive

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.
