Computer Engineering Has Changed human life and the Way We Study Engineering.

Description — Computer science engineering has changed every aspect of human life from travel to communication, and health care to education. This has led to a surge in the number of colleges offering computer science engineering courses/ programs.

Civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering were the few programs that were offered as engineering degrees in the olden days. Electronics, computer science, chemical, and a few other engineering courses were later introduced during the ’90s and further to that. The founder of Intel, Gordon Moore said that “the number of transistors that can be replaced cheaply on an Integrated circuit will double every two years”. Computer engineering has grown exponentially and has changed our lives in a million ways. It has enhanced the learning experience and changed the way we study engineering. This has led to an increase in the number of colleges offering computer science engineering.

Calculators, fax machines, printers, and a few other machines were the best friends in an office/ business set up. However, the introduction of computers/ computer engineering has changed everything from education to entertainment, and from business activities to hobbies. Computer science engineering has improved the lifestyle to a level unfathomable. Computer engineering degrees have provided high paying jobs and has thereby changed the way education is pursued across the world. Computer engineering has changed the way education is offered.

Browsing the courses, colleges, and researching for information is all available at fingertips as opposed to the way it was done previously. Degrees and courses are now available online. Classes can be attended online at the convenience of the student.

Construction, travel, communication has all become more secure, swift, effective, and efficient all thanks to computer science engineering. Computer science has played a vital role both in solving existing problems and creating new innovative ideas. Computer engineering helps in improving the quality of life of the citizens and further contributes to the economic development of the nation. Let us look at some of the ways computer science engineering has changed the world.

1.  Healthcare — Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data science have changed the way health care works.

2. Identifying the medical challenges and finding solutions to the existing ones has become very easy with the help of computer science engineering. Furthermore, this has resulted in steep prices but the use of Machine learning (ML) has enabled cutting costs.

3. Societal needs — Climate change, smart farming, poverty, education, unemployment, and health care are a few areas with which computer science engineering has directly impacted societal needs.

4. Empowerment — Computer science engineering enables people to identify opportunities and turn them into a lucrative business. Finding clients for various services offered was a challenge in the previous days however, usage of technology has been fruitful to many small-time entrepreneurs who are unable to invest truckload of money.

5. Opportunities to all — Computer science engineering works on codes. Codes are written, managed, and operated by various genders, races, and backgrounds. This provides an equal opportunity for people coming from all walks of life.

6. Education — Attending online classes, research, project work, sharing work via the cloud has all been made possible by computer science engineering.

7. Colleges have begun to offer courses/ degrees through online (e-learning).

8. Communication — Chatting apps, social media, and video calling have caused changes in many ways.

9. From the way, long term relationships are maintained to sharing documents and revolutionizing workforce have all changed with the use of computer science engineering.

 Prediction — All thanks to the computer science engineering/ technology predicting human behavior, climate, catastrophes, and life-saving situations have all been possible with the tip of fingers. We have even begun to predict the changes in the solar system through computer science engineering.

Shelters to homeless, providing food to those in poverty, providing education to students in the rural areas, precision farming through Artificial Intelligence, Internet of things (IoT) for the betterment of life for those in need, and many other changes have all been possible with the help of computer science engineering. Computer science has been playing and will continue to play a vital role in the lives of humans.
