hello welcome back everyone for another episode of after SPM series
today we gonna talk about computer science, and what it differs from information technology. the various fields of computer science
and more in-depth about them coming up so let's jump right in to the topic
so what is computer science computer science is the study of computers and
computational system it involves the application of computation methods and
algorithms to design solution to solve problems
information technology on the other hand focuses on an approach and application
of computing technology especially within businesses and organization
This is different from computer science which emphasizes on mathematical and theorical
foundations of computing hope you get an idea on what the differences are
computer science has grown into a multidisciplinary course with various majors
and specializations available the common specialization fields in computer
science and IT courses are such as AI (Artificial Intelligence) that enabled computers to "think", perceive the
environment, make decisions and take actions computer security security for
devices like computers and smartphones and networks including internet software
engineering a combination of computer science and engineering to design and
develop a software system computer network emphasizes on data
communications and networking technology skills to design install configure and
maintain networks systems so what are qualification do you need in order to
pursue a degree in computer science for SPM / O-Level candidates minimum
qualification is at least five credits including a credit
in mathematics of course for Pre-U I'll show it on the screen because it's
too long so the entry requirements may vary depending on the university
are going so make sure you do some research also an important note is
mathematics the key component of computer science and IT as well so good
grades in mathematics at SPM and Pre-University level is important a computer
science or IT degree is usually 3 years long here is a summary of the education pathway
a computer science degree will give you fundamental knowledge of
programming tools mathematical concepts and software development technology note
that the curriculum for Computer Science and Information Technology courses can be quite
may be some overlap of subjects this is vary depending on the
college and university you go in general here some core topics that you may learn in
CS or IT degree typically taught in the first and second year of your degree
mathematics algorithms and data structure theory of computation computer
system and networks programming database design system development in your
final year you may be able to take elective subjects to specialize in such
as image processing natural language processing
statistical analysis mobile application development at the end of your course you
will be able to analyze model designs develope and evaluate computing solutions
to develop technological solutions and infrastructure
really good why should you study computer science
first you love to solve complex challenging problems
A Computer Science degree will challenge you to solve deep, multidimensional problems that require
logical thinking and creativity. If you love flexing your brains
and are eager to try various experiments to "hack" together solutions to solve complex problems, a
Computer Science course might just be the right course for you! Two, gain
valuable skills to build innovative solutions. Steve Jobs once said that the computer
is like a bicycle for the mind — it is the tool that enables us to
accomplish many things by multiplying our capabilities! A Computer Science degree will give you
the necessary skills and knowledge to build technological solution that could
change everyday life from the way we communicate to the way businesses are run
today three intellectually challenging and stimulating a CS degree
can be quite intellectual demanding and may not be the right fit for everyone
like me I can't finding a computing solution to various
problems will test your reasoning logic and creativity requiring you to think in both
concrete and abstract terms Nonetheless, it can be very rewarding if
you're someone who are keen to interest in this field sounds interesting right
you're in! but then what skills do you need to
study computer science first it's the ability to think logically because
computers work on logical sequence of instruction processing one operation
after another so you must be as well to construct your solution computing
problems and logical steps just as how computer will processes
remember that CS can be quite abstract some ability to visualize things and
process is important as well two solid Foundation mathematics
fundamental mathematics particularly discrete mathematics probability
statistics and logic is crucial since Computer Science involves lots of computation having
a strong mathematical mindset will help you tremendously in coming up with commands
functions and algorithms which was pretty good. three
good problem solving skills a computer science degree particularly programming
modules will test your abilities to solve various computing
problems you must be able to understand a problem decompose and break it down
into smaller parts solve these pieces individually and bring it all back together in an
elegant solution in addition being able to think creatively is
something important as well since there could be other ways to solve the problem much
more efficiently don't worry if you haven't mastered all these skills yet a degree in CS will help you hone and develop these skills
just make sure you're mentally prepared and in go ahead like I don't know like a Formula 1
lastly the options with a CS degree completing a degree in CS will prepare you for a
career in IT consultancies and IT service providers
Organisations in various industries, such as financial services, telecommunications
retail and resources, also employ graduates in Computer Science and IT which
was pretty good here are some jobs that are highly related to Computer Science
Business Analyst, Data Mining Specialist, Software Engineer or
Architect, Mobile App Developer, Game Developer,
Systems Designer, Network Specialist, Research Analyst, Software Quality
Assurance Officer, Enterprise Distributed Application Developer,
IT Analyst / Consultant, IT Auditor, IT Project Manager. oh that
was a long list so there's no reason you can find a job after a CS Degree
so thanks for watching guys hope this video helpful to you so I guess we don't
look like it subscribe for more videos like this and of course check out after
SPM series don't miss any episode of it because you may miss gold
