Field of Study
The rapid and widespread use of computers and information technology has generated a need for highly trained workers proficient in various job functions. These computer specialists include software engineers, database administrators, network systems, computer scientists and data communication analysts.
Computer software engineers apply the principles and techniques of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the software and systems that enable computers to perform their many applications. Software engineers working in applications or systems development analyze users' needs and design, construct, test, and maintain computer applications software or systems.
With the Internet and electronic business generating large volumes of data, there is a growing need to be able to store, manage, and extract data effectively. Database administrators work with database management systems software and determine ways to organize and store data. They identify user needs and set up new computer databases. Because many databases are connected to the Internet, database administrators also must plan and coordinate security measures with network administrators.
What is it all about?
The Workplace:
Computer Software engineers usually work in offices in comfortable surroundings. As they strive to improve software for users, many computer software engineers interact with customers and coworkers. Computer software engineers who are employed by software vendors and consulting firms, for example, spend much of their time away from their offices, frequently traveling overnight to meet with customers. They call on customers in businesses ranging from manufacturing plants to financial institutions. As their networks expand, software engineers use modems, laptops, e-mail, and the Internet to provide more technical support and other services from their main office, connecting to a customer's computer remotely to identify and correct developing problems.
Job Prospects
This is said to be the third wave of BPO. Also dubbed as Engineering BPO by industry insiders, the NASSCOM reports a requirement of 2, 50,000 engineers from Computer Science, Electronics, Civil and Mechanical Engineers. The Global ESO market is pegged to achieve a global spend of 1.1 trillion by 2020. This is the original growth bandwagon of India Inc. The past decade has seen a paradigm shift in the way businesses across the world were run because of India. Making full use of the opportunity at hand India produced an unprecedented number of skilled manpower in the field of IT/ITES and stands today as the leader in the world outsourcing market. But the growth story isn’t over yet. Continuing its growth saga the Indian IT/ITES industry recorded a phenomenal growth in the year 2007. Although the medium term prospects might be a bit affected by the Global Downturn but the long-term prospects are still safe as shown in the NASSCOM-McKinsey report. It targets exports of $60 billion with employment of over 20 million people by 2010.
