Computer Science Education

Author: Max Bellamy

The exact definition of computer science is uncertain and is a topic of much debate, due to the diversity of educational programs available in the subject

and in the numerous careers that can be pursued by computer science graduates. Simply put, computer science is the study of information, computation, or

computer technology such as hardware and software, which may include systems analysis and design; application and system software design; and programming and

datacenter operations. On a broader perspective, computer science can also refer to computation of specific results or computational complexity theory.

There are some fields that form the basis of, are correlated to, and tremendously important to computer science, such as Mathematical Foundations,

Theoretical Computer Science, Computer Systems Organization, Data and Information Systems, Computing Methodologies, Computer Applications, Computing Milieux,

and Hardware and Software. Because of the diversity inherent in computer science, its subfields are also classified by a number of methods, such as the ACM

(Association for Computing Machinery) Classification System.

In general, the subfields of modern computer science include Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Computer Engineering, Computer Graphics,

Computer Programming, Computer Vision, Computing, Computing Formal Grammar, Information Science or Informatics, Information Security, Information Retrieval,

Information Systems, Information Technology, Lexicography, Linguistics, Logistics, Management Information Systems, Mathematics, and Software Engineering.

For those pursuing a career in computer science, there are many opportunities available such as Software Programming, Software Engineering, Hardware

Engineering, Systems Analysis, Database Administration, Network Administration, Robotics Engineering, Graphic Arts, Internet System Administration,

Telecommunications, CAD-CAM Technicians, Web Development, and much more.
