Future of Computer Science and Engineering

The rise of Google, the rise of Facebook, the rise of WhatsApp, the rise of Apple, I think these are proof, that there is a place for computer science, everywhere in our day to day life.

In our day to day activities, we use technology, Smart Phones, Laptops, Computers, Tablets, USBs, Softwares and Different Applications, so that life becomes easier and more efficient.

When we talk about future of Computer Science and Engineering, we observe, that every business and organization is going digital. As compared to other sectors, today IT sector is on boom and there is a huge demand of Computer Science Engineers and Programmers. They are offered highest paying jobs not only in India but also abroad.

 

Computer Science and Engineering deals with design, implementation and management of both software and hardware.

The fields in Softwares are as follows:

1. System Architecture: Design a system and sell it at a minimum price
2. Development: Develop applications such as  YouTube, WhatsApp etc
3. Testing: Test the product and debug the error

The fields in Hardwares are as follows: 

1. Maintenance: Computer maintenance professionals install, configure and repair computer hardware, software and network systems
2. Research and Development: Research and development engineers, develop new products, redesign existing products, and perform research and testing on product concepts. Most of the software Companies work in R&D segments and if not, then they have a dedicated R&D unit of their own.

As computing is extensively applied to almost every walk of life it created massive jobs for Computer Science Engineering students. Computer Science Engineers have ample of options to work in IT companies in departments such as design, development, assembly, manufacture and maintenance, etc. They can work as programmer, web developer, and E-commerce specialist with telecommunications companies, automotive companies, aerospace companies, etc.

More demand and application kept its research funding alive, attracting many students to opt for higher studies. If someone wants to go for higher education, then they can opt for Masters in Science (M.S.) in AI, Robotics, Embedded System, Data Mining, Distributed Control System, Virtual Computing, and so on.

Technology has been growing exponentially over the past decades, and industries are looking for fresh graduates in new technologies in computer science who can join their team and help them to transform their ideas in a better manner.

If you have an interest in computer science, then you should learn the latest technology in computer science to make a calculated move in your field.

Five latest technologies that are in demand are Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Edge Computing, Virtual Reality and Cyber Security. These five technologies in computer science are storming the industry.

In today's life, computer science and engineering plays biggest and important role in our day to day life. So don’t miss it and grasp the opportunity to become a computer engineer.

The New Driver: Artificial Intelligence

Human beings have long feared about the rise of the machines – our own creation becoming smarter and more intelligent than us. But as Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing our world and empowering the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we do not need to be afraid. Right now, it’s almost everywhere — at our workplace, in our homes, cars, in our phones and laptops. Apart from our private lives, AI is influencing multiple business spheres like automotive, healthcare, economy, e-commerce, and entertainment. Over time, AI is going to become more sophisticated and omnipotent. Let us take a look at how AI will change the way we live and work.

AI Examples in the Real World

The impact of AI is not only visible but also tangible. Many major companies offer their own artificial intelligence assistants: Microsoft uses Cortana, Samsung Electronics utilizes Bixby, Amazon has Alexa, Apple offers Siri, and Google has Google assistant, respectively. These AIs can understand human commands and respond accordingly. But, AI in your smartphone will be able to go far beyond. Google Duplex is an upgrade of Google Assistant that can understand context. AI in Google Duplex can make an appointment on your behalf over the phone.

Impact of AI on Society

AI is still far from the futuristic image you might have in your mind — flying cars or AI robots like in Ex Machina that can easily pass for humans. Many believe that AI can be used to discover new drugs. Indeed, AI can become a perfect solution for many R&D centers that are looking for brand new drugs, which is a highly expensive and time-consuming discovery process.

How Can AI Benefit Humans?

Drug discovery can be not the only AI benefit this technology can provide humans with. Another challenge that humanity is facing right now and which can be prevented with the help of AI is the discovery of new and sustainable materials. It is believed that artificial intelligence can speed up the process. Besides, as with drug discovery, artificial intelligence can invent new compounds and properties to create a new type of material.

Impact of AI in Everyday Life

We, as smart human beings, will always derive considerable pleasure out of books, music, TV shows, and movies we like. And without giving it much thought about what lies behind our everyday activities, we use recommendation systems to choose entertainment for our liking. These are just a few uses of AI in daily life. And the chances are — you know these AI-powered examples very well like YouTube recommendation engine, Netflix Match finding in dating apps as Badoo, eHarmony, Hola, Hily, and many others, Photo and video editing apps as Toolook. 

AI Trend that will Dominate Our Lives

Now you have AI in your pocket, and in other things too. AI has been already implemented into smart home devices like home-security, air condition, and light control systems. When IoT meets artificial intelligence, it’s highly likely to be the dominant trend that will influence our everyday lives.

AI Application in Business

AI is going to be an integral part of almost every business domain. Automotive, marketing, and advertisement, agriculture, healthcare, e-commerce, criminal justice, and many others will definitely benefit from using artificial intelligence.

AI and The Economy

We observe a considerable influence on human lives, society, and numerous business spheres, but it does not begin or end there. AI is also going to alter the economy which will have both positive and negative outcomes. 

So, artificial intelligence is no longer mere science fiction as it has long gone far beyond theories and assumptions.
