I know it's worded weirdly, but what are some examples of jobs people go into in the computer sciences field? I'm a grade 11 student who has no idea what to do, all I know is that I want to go into computer sciences. Your time is greatly appreciated! Tenks.

If you're not too keen on going into IT or research and having to compete with the huge supply of computer scientists, you may want to consider going with hardware programming instead. Embedded systems programming allows you to control hardware through software. If you choose a major that's a cross between computer science (programming) and electrical engineering (the hardware you want to program), it'll open doors in both the automotive and industrial markets.



If you get into the automotive industry, you could end up writing code to control certain parts of a car like the engine, air bags, side mirror motors, etc. You'll be able to read data coming from sensors or other parts of the car and then make the car do things based on your interpretation of the data.



In the industrial market, you could program toys, industrial robots like in factories, vacuum cleaners like the Roomba, etc.

Hi there, just go ahead you dont have to worry at all about the scope and career prospects of Computer science engineering. Computer engineers though are mostly involved in IT industries, they are gaining more demand in other industries too like bank, airlines, public utilities, manufacturing area etc., as these industry are becoming more technology oriented & computerized. Moreover a few good universities like UTM are coming up more specialized courses in CS streams like B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering with specialization in Cloud Computing & Virtualization Technology and B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering with specialization in Oil & Gas Informatics which open multiple opportunities in Oil and gas sector and various aspects of cloud. So go ahead, work hard and make a bright career in this evergreen field! Good luck!
