Computing Discipline

In computer discipline, there are five major careers that Information Technology (IT) or Computer Science People can choose. the careers are computer science, software engineering, information systems, cognitive science and computer engineering.Of course, each of them has different characteristics..

Let's understand the differences of each of them...

currently, the most popular major is computer science (CS) because it is the mother of computing discipline. almost of computing discipline is related to Computer Science, whereby they need to use what CS people produce. likewise, in CS, people not only understand the theory, but also create and design programmings that use mathematical concepts of computation and information. there are four areas that CS people should understand in their career which are designing and implementing software, devising new ways to use computers,  developing effective ways to solve computing problems, and planning and managing organizational technology infrastructure. 

moreover, software  engineering is focus on develop of software system that is used mathematical concept and computer science. the major activities of this discipline is process oriented activities such as requirements, design, quality assurance, process improvement and project management.

furthermore, Information System (IS) is concerned with the information that use by company, non profit organization and government or any organization by using computer system. Furthermore, it is consists of two types which are operation support system and management support system. the important thing is that IS can support management process in all levels. see in the picture below:

computer engineering is concerned about the design of digital hardware and software systems including communications systems, computers and devices that contain computers. computer engineering people will produce devices such as cell phones, digital audio players, digital video recorders, alarm systems, x-ray machines, and laser surgical tools all require integration of hardware and embedded software.

lastly, cognitive science  is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the mind and the process of it. it is also learnt about intelligence, embracing philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology.
