7-2 Project 2 1. Computer Science - the study of computers and their systems, which pertain to the software, software systems, also includes their theory, design, development, and application . Most roles in the IT field are computer science: Application analyst Applications developer Cyber security analyst Data analyst Database administrator Forensic computer analyst Game designer Games developer The tools needed for most of these roles is having the right software, coding/scripting, and training. Also a fast connection on a network helps data or information to be transferred fast. 2. Information Systems - a formal, sociotechnical, organizational system designed to collect, process, store, and distribute information . Information Systems roles include: Network Support Personnel Systems Analysts Consultants Computer Programmers Database Support Personne l

Computer Support Specialists Web/Internet Support Specialists Having the right networking hardware and software are the core tools needed for these roles. Also servers, switches, routers, coding, and connection are essential tools. 3. Engineering - is the use of scientific principles to design and build machines, structures, and other items, including bridges, tunnels, roads, vehicles, and buildings. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering , each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics , applied science , and types of application. Computer engineering - is a discipline that integrates several fields of computer science and electronics engineering required to develop computer hardware and software . These roles include: Computer Programmer Mechanical Engineer Electrical Engineer Industrial Engineer Computer Systems Analyst Computer User Support Specialist Web Developer Computer Network Architect The tools needed for this role are the right hardware components and various computer hand tool if you are building systems form the ground up and if you are

repairing systems instead of replacing them. Also software programs and coding/scripting are a must. 4. Information technology (IT) - is the use of computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data or information . A few roles for IT: Hardware Technician Help Desk Analyst and Help Desk Suppor t Network Administrator/Engineer Business Analys t IT Project Manager Systems Engineering Manager IT Director, Vice President, CIO/CTO H ere the tools needed are the processes, and methodologies (such as coding/programming, data communications, data conversion, storage and retrieval, systems analysis and design, systems control) and associated equipment employed to collect, process, and present information . 5. Scripting - a programming language for a special run-time environment that automates the execution of tasks; the tasks could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted , rather than compiled . 6. Programming or Computer Programming - process of designing and building an executable computer program to accomplish a specific computing result or to perform a specific task. Programming involves tasks such as: analysis, generating algorithms , profiling algorithms' accuracy and resource consumption, and the implementation of algorithms in a chosen programming language (commonly

referred to as coding ). Also, i s essentially a formal language that combines a set of instructions that can be fed into the computer to generate a specific output. The relationship or primary difference between a scripting language and a programming language is in their execution – programming languages use a compiler to convert the high-level programming languages into machine language, on the other hand, scripting languages use an interpreter . The difference between a program and script are: A "program" in general, is a sequence of instructions written so that a computer can perform certain task . A "script" is code written in a scripting language. A scripting language is a type of programming language in which we can write code to control another software application . IT professionals use scripting in the networking, games, and administration of computer systems in the IT field. They would also use scripting for: PHP The most popular server-side language used on the web. ASP.NET Web-application framework developed by Microsoft. Node.js Can run on a multitude of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac, etc. Java Used in everything from your car stereo’s Bluetooth to NASA applications. Ruby Dynamic. Focuses heavily on simplicity. Perl A bit of a mashup between C, shell script, AWK, and sed. Python Great for beginners to learn. Uses shorter code.
