Presentation Transcript

  1. Computer Science, Computing Science, Software EngineeringWELCOME CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  2. What is the difference between Computing & ICT? ICT is skills in using packages, applications and hardware. Computing is creating the packages, applications, configuring the hardware, developing the operating systems “Being a skilled driver does not make you a car mechanic” CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  3. What will you learn? It depends what interests you All our students will do some of the same modules – computing fundamentals which underpin every branch of computing Some modules they select for themselves – depending on award This talk is intended to give you some information about the choices you will be able to make CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  4. Flexibility & Choice A foundation in computing fundamentals Computer Science S/W Engineering Computing Science CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  5. Two Defined Degrees Software Engineering • Problem Solving & engineering software • Specifying, designing, writing, testing programs • Programming languages and how to use them Computer Science • Study of computers, their hardware, operating systems, interface with the outside world • And advanced programming skills CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  6. One Tailored Degree Computing Science • A tailored degree which allows you to develop your own interests The core modules give you an underpinning in computing fundamentals You can choose other modules to allow you sample different computing disciplines And follow different pathways through the degree CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  7. A Typical Year 1 You will learn how to program in Java If you are using a mobile phone or the Net or most file sharing programs or an Apple Mac or any one of 700 million PCs – you have used Java CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  8. A typical year 1 You will study the hardware and software that make up a computer system You will study system analysis and design You will study underpinning maths Depending on your award you will study the C programming language & Operating Systems And you will study one or more modules that you choose yourself – for example in Computer Games Development- Business Concepts-Web Design-Database Systems-Forensics -networking…… CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  9. Broadly speaking: For a career as: CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  10. Employability CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  11. Employability CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  12. During your degree: Placement “The placements scheme is a rewarding experience and the best opportunity to secure a job offer after graduation". Christopher Nixon BEng (Hons) Computer Science The Final Year Project CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  13. What If You Choose The Wrong Award? At Staffs Uni, we know that students will be studying topics they have not come across before – you may arrive saying you only like HTML and leave as a Java developer You can change between awards in this award group very easily in level 1. With very few exceptions, you can change to the Computing Science award at any stage. CREATE THE DIFFERENCE

  14. Further Information available at • The faculty website http://www.staffs.ac.uk/faculties/comp_eng_tech/current_students_and_staff/ • We will now split into groups for subject discussion and interviews • Any Questions CREATE THE DIFFERENCE
