Irish computer professional classification
The computer major in Ireland is diversified. Generally speaking, they can be divided into the following categories:
1. Computer Science
Computer Science/Advanced Computer Science
Computer Science Computer Science (CS for short) is a science that studies the nature, laws and problems of machine automatic calculation itself. Most schools will offer CS courses, some universities will divide CS courses into several directions (such as TCD and Galway), and some schools will let students subsidize courses, such as UCD.
2. Network Security/Information Security/Network Risk
Enterprise's Network Security/Information Security/Network Risk
Computer network security refers to the use of network management control and technical measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data are protected in the network environment. For example: data encryption and authentication, firewall, intrusion detection, computer virus prevention.
3. Information system/information technology/information engineering/digital information management
Information system/technology/engineering/digital information management
Information systems are mostly integrated with business majors, and are more used in enterprises, combining knowledge of enterprise management, financial process design, production process design, software planning and so on. For example: ERP enterprise resource management system, mail receiving and dispatching system, CRM customer relationship management system, EHR and so on.
4. Software Engineering/Software Development
Software engineering/software development
Software development is the process of building a software system or the software part of the system according to the needs of users. Software development is a systematic project, including requirements capture, requirements analysis, design, implementation and testing. Software is usually implemented in programming languages. Software development tools can usually be used for development. Software is divided into system software and application software, including not only programs that can be run on computers, but also files related to these programs are generally considered as a part of software. Software engineering is practical and requires students to have strong logical ability.
5. Artificial intelligence
artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI). Also known as intelligent machinery and machine intelligence, it refers to the intelligence displayed by machines made by people. Usually artificial intelligence refers to the technology of presenting human intelligence through ordinary computer programs. It is a new technical science to study and develop theories, methods, technologies and application systems that simulate, extend and expand human intelligence. Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science, which tries to understand the nature of intelligence and produce a new intelligent machine that can respond in a way similar to human intelligence. The research in this field includes robot, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing and expert system.
6. Data analysis
Big Data/Data Analysis/Data Science
Gartner, the most authoritative IT research and consulting company in the world, defines big data as huge, high-speed and highly diversified information assets, which can only support decision-making, development and optimization after being processed by brand-new technologies (non-traditional technologies). Big data analysis refers to the analysis of massive data. Big data can be summarized as five V's. The data is large, fast, diverse, valuable and true. ? As the hottest word in IT industry, big data is followed by data warehouse, data security, data analysis, data mining, etc., which has gradually become the profit focus that industry people are scrambling to chase. With the advent of the era of big data, big data analysis came into being.
7. Advanced (advanced) operation
High Performance Computing/Cloud Computing
Among computer-related majors, advanced computing majors have the highest requirements for students' mathematics, and students will learn a lot of computer languages, programming and data analysis.
