Why BTech in Computer Science from PIEMR, is a Good Career Opportunity?

Computers are a quintessential element of our fully internet-enabled society. It has become a means that connects the whole world, in many aspects, such as on the level of relationships, trade, logistics, diplomacy, jobs, and many more things. The science of it is fascinating and comprises a rich course of education, that could invest in a person the power of maintaining, managing, and advancing the technology, and also checking the leakages in the cyberworld. Computer Science, also known as ‘CS’, is a broad discipline that consists of the study of computer systems, computational thinking and theory, software designing, and hardware maintenance for processing, analysing, and using data.

What is a Computer Science (CSE) course?

BTech Computer Science is a four-year undergraduate program, great for students interested in the field of software engineering, app development, IT corporates, and MNCs. The course comprises the studies of Calculus, Algorithms, Computer Architecture, Database learning, and basic foundations of computer technology. Some of the important subjects of BTech CS (engineering) are:

• Computer Programming
• Discrete Mathematics
• Material Science
• Complex Algebra
• Formal Languages and Automata Theory

Scope of BTech (Computer Science) Programme:

Understanding computer science can take one pretty much anywhere. Earning a computer science degree opens up numerous opportunities in career as well as in higher education. After completing the programme of BTech in Computer Science, students are usually placed at some of the best companies, startups, and some even pursue higher studies. Graduates take up a broad range of career pathways. Many graduates focus on building skills in programming, coding, and web development, pursuing certification courses related to this field. All of these are highly sought after by a huge number of companies. Present and upcoming technologies like algorithmic problem solving, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, are also the niches in which graduates in Computer Sciences can flock and be the ace.

All sorts of companies need web developers, software engineers, mobile application developers, and other experienced programmers, providing a plethora of opportunities. Graduates can prefer jobs such as Computer Programmer, System Database Administrator, Software Developer, System Designer, Research Analyst, or simply Programmers.

Emerging fields of Computer Science:

1. AI and Machine Learning: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been identified as a key driver of the fourth Industrial Revolution. We encounter AI in our homes, our cars, our businesses, and even in public spaces. Machine learning enabled an AI system to learn from data. Working in the field of ‘AI and Machine Learning’ means leading the path for the technology of tomorrow. AI and Machine Learning jobs lead to Machine learning engineers, data scientists, AI researchers, etc.
2. Robotics: The developing field of robotics concentrates on manufacturing robots that can replicate human behaviors (from building cars to assisting in surgeries). A foundation in computer science programme furnishes one to programme the software that maintains dynamic and virtual bots to function effectively. Robotics courses can lead to job titles such as Robotics engineer, Robotics Technician, Software developer.
3. Computer Forensics: Computer forensics exists at the junction of law and computer science. Computer forensics, also called data or digital forensics, deals with the recovery and investigation of digital storage devices. One might work in a crime lab, law enforcement department, or other public agency, or as a private contractor. Job titles would be Digital forensics specialist, the computer forensics investigator.

Why Computer Science from PIEMR:
