Know What Engineers Do...

When your qualify your Entrance Exam the first thing that you have to choose is in which field you have to pursue your Engineering.TO solve your this problem apnasem started this iniative.. As per approx data 10lakh students are giving Engineering Entrance Exam for BE/B.Tech/or Eq. and out of these half of them i.e 5lakh takes admission in different colleges. But in this only 10% student knows in which branch their interest is ??
I am in the way to design such a set of questions through which I can tell the students which branch will suite them and which not. This prediction is also accompanied with horoscope. So you also don't need to go anywhere just come to apnasem. 
Here I am briefly giving you some details about 4 Common Engineering Branches soon we will publish some more branches and that program also. Have a look at these information these will be very benificial to you.

COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

About Computer Science and Engineering:

Computer science  got the study of  theories of  foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their implementation on systems/projects/companies. It is frequently described as the systematic study of algorithmic processes( algo is starting process)  that create, describe and transform information. The fundamental question underlying computer science is, "What can be  automated without human efforts?" Computer science has many sub-fields; some of them are ,  such as computer graphics- VISUAL BASICS/FLASHES, emphasize the computation of specific results, while others, such as computational complexity theory, study the properties of computational problems. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations.

The general public sometimes confuses computer science with vocational areas that deal with computers (such as information technology), or think that it relates to their own experience of computers, which typically involves activities such as gaming, web-browsing, and word-processing. However,  focus of computer science engineers is more on   understanding the properties of the programs used to implement software such as games and web-browsers, and using that understanding to create new program and  improve existing ones by giving the regular updates.

What Does a Computer Engineer do?

Computer engineers work with computer hardware and software. They solve technical problems, develop new products from initial idea conception through completion, and install computer systems. To do their job well, they rely on a broad mathematical and scientific knowledge base, as well as an ability to communicate complex ideas to clients and colleagues. Some computer engineers work solely with hardware or software.

Taking into account deadlines, budgets, and specialized needs, a computer engineer designs and helps produce the final hardware or software product. The engineer is often the person responsible for training clients on equipment they have designed.

Hardware engineers provide computer hardware diagnosis, repair, configuration, and installation of computer hardware. Software engineers create or modify computer programs by converting project requirements into code that translates into software that matches client specifications and expectations.

All computer engineers may do any or all of the following tasks: 

·         Analyze information to determine client needs

·         Conduct training and presentations

·         Collaborate with clients, project managers, and team members to organize and plan projects

·         Determine if the project will meet the desired budget

·         Research, develop, integrate and distribute security tools and associated documentation

·         Design systems

·         Develop and direct testing procedures

·         Provide technical support

·         Coordinate installation of computer hardware or software

·         Document and evaluate project progress

·         Manage assigned accounts

·         Specify project requirements

·         Provide analysis and recommendations for overall system architecture

·         Maintain equipment

Work Prospects 

It’s the software Industry which has given wings to youngster's dreams. The employment opportunity is ample as India is World's IT hub. Opportunities are as follows:

Work for IT giants like Microsoft, Google(many branches), Adobe, Satyam, Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Tyro, Sulekha, IBIBO etc.

Software career has variety of job profiles in development, Testing, Support, Networking, Security etc.

Jobs in govt. sector are also ample with govt. pro actively implementing ICT in all spheres. ( Ministry Of IT)

New age entrepreneur’s hottest target is IT services, so one can also look for avenues of setting up own firm.

Computer engineers are employed in every industry. Whether it is for programming, installation of a new system, or highly specialized software.

Computer engineers are utilized in the healthcare industry, transportation, academics, financial institutions, and service oriented businesses. Examples of companies that have computer engineers on staff include: Verizon Wireless, Citicorp, and Southwest airlines.

Scope of Computer Science and Engineering:

This is the biggest question in front of everybody now a day while deciding the admission in any Engineering field. As one progresses, the scope of computer will only increase( You can see it yourself how automization is coming). This recession will come as an advantage for future generations because at the time of recession companies think new technologies as per the needs of users. So it seems that the use of computers is decreasing but in actual practice the use of computers will increase in coming years and recession will play an important role in this scenario.

Companies are coming up with newer version of software/updates of their existing products for the Indian Industries including the small scale industry. These demands will make the usage of computer even in the rural area. Thus, Computer Science and Engineering has a tremendous scope in future.
CAUTION:- IT AND CSE branch has one draw back that the students from any branch can join the company as Computer Engineer with the same package and they can't go to others fields.
