Computing Careers
Computing professionals might find themselves in a variety of environments in academia, research, industry, government, private and business organizations -- analyzing problems for solutions, formulating and testing, using advanced communications or multi-media equipment, or working in teams for product development. Here's a short list of research and vocational areas in computing.

• Artificial Intelligence -- Develop computers that simulate human learning and reasoning ability.
• Computer Design and Engineering -- Design new computer circuits, microchips, and other electronic components.
• Computer Architecture -- Design new computer instruction sets, and combine electronic or optical components to provide powerful but cost-effective computing.
• Information Technology -- Develop and manage information systems that support a business or organization.
• Software Engineering -- Develop methods for the production of software systems on time, within budget, and with few or no defects.
• Computer Theory -- Investigate the fundamental theories of how computers solve problems, and apply the results to other areas of computer science.
• Operating Systems and Networks -- Develop the basic software computers use to supervise themselves or to communicate with other computers.
• Software Applications -- Apply computing and technology to solving problems outside the computer field - in education or medicine, for example.
