Scope and Future of Computer science

Computer Science Graduates are on the Cutting Edge of the IT Industry:  

Computers are so predominant these days that itś easy to forget how quickly they’ve changed our lives. Twenty years ago, e-mail was a relatively new phenomenon, the internet was just gaining steam, and no one imagined they´d be carrying smartphones loaded up with nifty apps. What might be the next 20 years bring? If you have a degree in computer science from BIT, you might be the first to know.

Because our society is becoming increasingly reliant on technology for every aspect of our lives, from business to social interaction and beyond, Computer scientists are sought after in pretty much every industry and in a wide range of capacities. A computer science degree, from BIT, can lead you to fulfill your dreams, well-paying career, which is something that is a rarity in the current state of the economy.

Future of Computer Science :

1. Computer science is key to solving the world’s most critical problems environmental sustainability, poverty, hunger, and homeland security. It can give the power to shape our future and possibly change the world, solving issues that face the world today or invent a great innovation to make the world a better place. Computer science involves problem-solving, computational thinking, creative thinking, and abstract reasoning.
2. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that computing-based jobs will be the fastest-growing and highest-paying over the next decade. Many careers involving computers offer flexible hours or telecommuting, making it easier to blend a career with personal life. Computer science graduates have knowledge and skills that can be used in many jobs, ensuring a lifetime of flexibility.
3. By the year 2020, there will be 1.7 million computer specialist jobs available, but only enough college graduates to fill a fraction of them. Students need to be taught about computer programming in addition to computer operations. College students who are able to create new programs and ideas will be desperately needed and must be taught these skills now.
4. Computer science needs more professionals and more diversity. The modern world relies on Computer and Information technology but is producing too few computer scientists to meet its needs. Currently, most computer scientists are White and Asian males, which is one of the shrinking demographics in society. Using more women and underrepresented minorities, more jobs could be filled and a more diverse range of perspectives would increase design creativity and innovation in the Future of computing technology.

New jobs in trend for a Computer science engineer :
