Overview

Key Features

Topics studied include algorithms and data structures, programming languages, computer architecture, computer graphics, operating systems, software engineering systems analysis, database systems, artificial intelligence, information security, and networking.

A computing professional analyzes a situation in an application domain, such as biology and medicine, business, engineering, law and public policy, science, sociology, and so on; carefully specifies the problems to be addressed; and then designs, evaluates, implements and tests computer-based solutions to those problems.

The Computer Science and Engineering program at The Ohio State University combines the technical study of both software and hardware. Other majors suited for students interested in computing careers include:

Computer and information science in the College of Arts and Sciences: virtually identical to the CSE major in its computing courses and technical background but involves more general education requirements rather than engineering
Electrical and computer engineering in the College of Engineering: shares several computing courses with the CSE major but has a more hardware-oriented bent in its other courses

Possible careers

Because computing is essential in all areas of society, the demand for people skilled in the computing field continues to grow. Contrary to popular misconception, offshoring of (lower-level) IT jobs is a secondary factor in job growth for the computing profession. Recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projections for U.S. job growth in the next decade show computing jobs, of the sort computer science and engineering (CSE) graduates might take, comprising the top two—and half of the top 10—positions in the rankings for jobs requiring an undergraduate degree. This is after accounting for the impact of offshoring.

Computer software and hardware vendors hire CSE graduates in areas such as software and hardware product development, quality assurance, customer support, sales and marketing, documentation, and training. But even more often, organizations that use these products (such as hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, banks, insurance companies and manufacturing firms) hire CSE graduates as software engineers building system foundations as well as end-user applications, and as systems analysts, database administrators and network administrators, as well as for other types of positions. Most large companies have internal computing departments that develop custom products for use by other departments within the same company. Considerable growth is also occurring in companies focusing on social media and information security.

Some employers of computer science and engineering graduates include Amazon, Apple, Bosch, Cisco Systems, Epic, General Motors, IBM Corp., JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Nationwide Insurance, Rosetta and Verizon.
