prospect
First, in the short term, the social demand is still great, and the employment market for computer graduates has broad prospects. Judging from the development of the global IT industry, after several years of sluggish development, IT industry has gone out of the trough and has the potential to make a comeback, and IT industry is showing more and more vigorous vitality in the development of the national economy. Judging from the situation in China, the talents engaged in computer software development are far lower than those in developed countries. The number of people engaged in computer software development in the United States exceeds 6.5438+0.8 million, in India, 900,000, and in China, less than 400,000. This shows that the shortage of computer software talents in China will seriously restrict the development of IT industry in China, especially directly affect the economic development and social progress in China. At the same time, due to the unbalanced economic and social development in China, there is a big gap between the east and the west and between urban and rural areas, especially in backward areas of China, and computer professionals are urgently needed. Therefore, with the continuous development of China's economy, the demand for computer professionals will still be great in a certain period of time [5].
Second, with the increase of computer graduates, the employment competition will be more intense. According to relevant data, by 2003, there were 1683 universities and 679 undergraduate schools in China, of which 505 offered the major of "computer science and technology", ranking first in the country. In 2003, there were 270,000 students majoring in computer science, accounting for 14.6% of the total number of students majoring in science and engineering, and 630,000 students majoring in information technology. In other words, the number of students majoring in information technology and computer science accounts for 1/3 of all science and engineering students in China. This will inevitably lead to more intense employment competition for computer graduates.
Third, employers have more choices for graduates, which leads to higher and higher requirements for graduates. In the future, because China's economic development may face imbalance, there will still be structural contradictions in the employment of computer graduates in China, which will eventually lead to the phenomenon of "uneven hot and cold" in the career choice of computer graduates. Economically developed areas or areas with high wages will still be the first choice for students to choose jobs, resulting in a relative surplus of demand for graduates. Employers have a lot of choices when choosing graduates, which leads to higher and higher requirements for graduates. Graduates are required to have not only certain professional qualities and comprehensive qualities, but also certain professional abilities, including core skills, industry general skills and professional skills. Therefore, it is increasingly prominent and necessary to improve the comprehensive quality of computer majors and cultivate their professional ability.
condition
1. The employment prospect of network engineering is good. After graduation, students can go to large telecom service providers and large communication equipment manufacturing enterprises at home and abroad for technical development, and they can also go to other enterprises and institutions to engage in design, maintenance, education and training in the field of network engineering.
2. The employment prospect of software engineering is very broad. After graduation, students can go to the information technology departments and education departments of many software enterprises, state organs, large and medium-sized enterprises and institutions at home and abroad to engage in technical development, teaching, scientific research and management in the field of software engineering. You can also continue to study for postgraduate students majoring in computer science and technology and master of software engineering.
3. After graduation, communication majors can enter the information industry, finance, finance, posts and telecommunications, transportation, national defense, institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions to engage in scientific research, teaching and engineering work of communication technology and electronic technology.
4. The major of network and information security is wide-ranging, and the main subjects are information security and network engineering. After graduation, students can be senior professional engineers and technicians engaged in computer network system and information security management and service in government, national defense, military, telecommunications, electric power, finance, railway and other departments. And can continue to study for a master's degree in information security, communication, information processing, computer software and other related disciplines.
development trends
By the end of 2005, the average number of employees in China's electronic information products manufacturing industry was 3.228 million, of which workers accounted for about 6 0%, and the proportion of engineering and technical personnel and management personnel was low, which was far from meeting the needs of the development of electronic information industry. The contradiction between supply and demand of talents in software industry is particularly prominent. In 2002, there were 592,000 employees in the software industry in China, including 57,000 software developers/kloc-0, accounting for 26.52%. At present, the average proportion of technicians in developed countries with electronic information industry is above 30%. The total number of technicians in electronic information industry in China is slightly insufficient.
Intelligentization makes the computer have the ability to simulate people's feelings and thinking processes, and makes the computer an intelligent computer. This is also the goal of a new generation of computers currently being developed. Intelligent research includes pattern recognition, image recognition, generation and understanding of natural language, game, theorem automatic proof, automatic programming, expert system, learning system and intelligent robot. Many robots with human intelligence have been developed.
Networking is another important trend of computer development. It is the inevitable result of the development of computer application to move from single computer to network. The so-called computer networking refers to the use of modern communication technology and computer technology to connect computers distributed in different places to form a large-scale, powerful network structure that can communicate with each other. The purpose of networking is to make the software, hardware and data resources in the network available to users on the network. Communication networks and laboratory LANs all over the world have become very popular, and the Internet has been connected to more than 50 countries and regions, including China. Because the computer network has realized the sharing and processing of various resources and improved the efficiency of resource use, it has been welcomed by the vast number of users and has been widely used.
Multimedia computer is one of the most striking high technologies in the computer field at present. Multimedia computer is a computer that comprehensively processes all kinds of media information by using computer technology, communication technology and mass communication technology. This information includes text, video images, graphics, sounds, words and so on. Multimedia technology organically links all kinds of information into a system with human-computer interaction. Multimedia computer will really improve the man-machine interface and make the computer develop towards the most natural way for human beings to receive and process information.
② Future computers
1, quantum computer
Quantum computer is a kind of quantum physical equipment that follows the laws of quantum mechanics and performs high-speed mathematical and logical operations, storage and processing. When a device is assembled from two subassemblies, it processes and calculates quantum information and runs quantum algorithms, it is a quantum computer.
2. Neural network computer
The overall running speed of the human brain is equivalent to 1000 trillion computer functions per second, and the biological brain neural network can be regarded as a large-scale parallel processing, tightly coupled and self-reconfigurable computing network. The computer design model is extracted from the working model of the brain. Many processors are used to imitate the neuron mechanism of the human brain, and information is stored in the communication between neurons. A large number of parallel distributed networks are used to form a neural network computer.
3. Chemical computer &; biocomputer
In terms of operating mechanism, chemical computers use tiny carbon molecules in chemical substances as information carriers to realize information transmission and storage. Under the action of enzymes, DNA molecules can be converted from one genetic code to another through biochemical reactions. The gene code before transformation can be used as input data, and the gene code after reaction can be used as operation result. In this way, a new biological computer can be made. The biggest advantage of the bio-computer is that the protein of the bio-chip has biological activity, which can be combined with human tissues, especially the human brain and nervous system, and the human-computer interface is naturally consistent, eliminating the tedious human-computer dialogue. In this way, the biological computer can listen to people's command, become an extension or expansion part of the human brain, and absorb nutrients from human cells to supplement energy without any external energy. Because the protein molecule of the biological computer has the ability of self-assembly, and the biological computer has the ability of self-adjustment, self-repair and self-regeneration, it is easier to simulate the function of the human brain. Nowadays, scientists have developed many biochips, which are the main components of biological computers.
4. Optical computer
Optical computer is a digital computer made of photons instead of electrons in semiconductor chips and optical interconnects instead of wires. Compared with the characteristics of electricity, light has incomparable advantages: optical computer is an "optical" computer, and light propagates in optical media with many light waves with different wavelengths or the same wavelength but different vibration directions, and there is no interaction between parasitic resistance, capacitance, inductance and electrons. Optical devices have the characteristics of no potential difference, so the information of optical computer will be distorted or distorted in transmission, and an incredible amount of data can be transmitted in the same narrow channel.
