Differences in Information Technology with Computer Science

You confused choose majors related to computer science per-an-time university? What is the difference between the departments computer engineering (CE), computer science (CS), information systems (IS), information technology (IT) and software engineering (SE)?

But the document titled 'Computing Curricula 2005' will hopefully be of help in the question above. The document is the result of working together between the Association of Computing Machinery, The Association of Information Systems and The Computer Society.


Third world famous association is joining a task force to prepare a curriculum related to the world of computer-per-an, which then diacu by many educational institutions throughout the world.

Documents' Computing Curricula 2005 'released on 30 September 2005 itself explicitly distinguish between the disciplines of CE, CS, IS, IT and SE. Perkomputeran the development of science disciplines, such as documents written in setebal 62 pages, the two divided over the period, namely before the 1990s and thereafter.

Pre-1990

Before the 1990s, precisely around the 1960s, the science disciplines that are still developing is very simple. To affairs utak-atik hardware, can choose electrical engineering (EE).

Then, still at the same time, CS play more in software engineering, while it is better to explore the benefits of the hardware and software to help solve business problems.

With the development of technology-based microprocessor chip (chip-based), which began in the mid-1970s, then slowly CE into a science with special spesialiasi, which is the separation from EE.

Of post-1990
In short, eventually in the various disciplines of family perkomputeran each other to form a self-development era. CE becomes more solid and is separate from EE. Then CS developing so rapidly, so the disciplines of the SE, who was in it, eventually become independent.

The reason, because they needed a very specific expertise to be able to produce a good software. When it starts to spread awareness that the creation of good software is very difficult, very expensive and very necessary.

Then it is also developing in line with the demands of business that require reliability of the hardware and software support in the performance. How do with IT?

Disciplines of the IT era in developing end-1990. IT knowledge is needed because developing a science discipline in the world per-computer-and that will help an organization or institution in ensuring the feasibility of the computer infrastructure associated with the readiness of the internal side, like the readiness of human resources related.

Description of Sciences

Furthermore, the documents' Computing Curricula 2005 'is a clear description explains each of the science-per-computer that an adult is there. In short, the description is as follows:

- Computer Engineering (CE), among others, learn about how Theme design and construction of computer and computer-based system that good. The science involved is about the hardware, software, communications, and of course understand the interaction between the part.

- Computer Science (CS), among others, learn about how to develop robotik, computer vision, intelligence systems, bio-informatics, and other matters related to the further development of the computer. To that end, computer scientists, this should memelajari various theoretically to the basic algorithms and know how to implementing it.

- Information Systems (IS), among others, learn about how to build and integrate information technology solutions with existing business processes, so that a business institution will be able to achieve its objectives with the effective and efficient

- Information Technology (IT) among others to learn about how a system of information in an appropriate institution exists, according hopes to work, easy in the operational and secure. In addition, non-technical aspects like to understand the needs of end users, translating the needs of management, and this also learned other practical.

- Software Engineering (SE), among others, learn about how to design, build and maintain a reliable system software, efficient, effective and easily developed and can meet the needs of customers or users.

Five Aspects and Applied Theory vs.

In the documents' Computing Curricula 2005 ', the explanation is displayed on the longer-wide. Even for the strength of the respective science majors per-computer-and it has been translated in the form of a table graph, which reflects the focus of the science related.

Focus refers to the five aspects, namely (1). Issues Organization and Information System, (2). Technology Applications, (3). Methods and Software Technology, (4). Infrastructure Systems, and (5). Architecture and Computer Hardware, that these are on the vertical axis.

Each discipline per-computer science-and indeed, in general, can only be partial or entire fifth learn these aspects. But the graph of the table provided, can clearly describe the focus and strength of each.

Because of the graph, the axis on horizontalnya explain about the development of sains, is more theory (the theory, principles and innovation), or more to Applied (application, installation, configuration).

Due to its unique and weights

Also displayed in a separate table, weight for each 'course' for each faculty. Weight of the range using the points'0 'to'5'. Each departments have constantly points out that different for each 'course' related.

Type 'eyes kuliah' he divided into two large family, namely computing topics and non-computing topics. Then there are the table as a barometer of competencies and capabilities (relative) of the graduates from each of the majors.

The barometer, also with the scale of'0 'to'5', make an assessment of the various areas of competence, namely (1). algorithms, (2). application programs, (3). computer programming, (4). hardware and other tools, (5). human-computer interface, (6). information systems, (7). information management (databases), (8). planning resources, information technology, (9). intelligence systems, (10). network and communication, and (11). the development of the system through the integration.

As for each competency in the area, still divided on several criteria, more performance capability. So from the table will be able to explain that a fifth of the majors (CE, CS, IS, IT and SE), will produce graduates with competencies and capabilities with the unique characteristics of each.

So, if we refer to the documents' Computing Curricula 2005 'is, then we will be in terbantukan get a clearer picture about the characteristics, uniqueness, uniqueness and benefits of each science majors per-computer-and developing at this time. However, if we want to and capable of thinking out of the box. (dbu) Bagikan
