Guide to IT specialties KPI

We present to you a small guide, the purpose of which is to help IT applicants to determine a specific direction of training. It is unrealistic to embrace the immensity, so we limited ourselves to the specialized IT departments of NTUU "KPI", but in general, the essence of the directions is similar for other technical universities.

IT specialists are trained in 7 basic bachelors:

Computer science,

Systems Engineering,

Software Engineering,

Computer engineering,

Applied math,

Security of information and communication systems,

System analysis.

Let us consider the features of each of the above areas of training at 4 faculties / institutes of the KPI: FIWT, FPM, FTI, IASA.

Faculty of Informatics and Computer Engineering (FIVT)

The faculty prepares specialists in the field of programming and information technology at a fundamental level.

There are 4 areas of training at the FIVT:

"Computer science"

Graduates will learn:

carry out a systematic analysis of subject areas,

create mathematical models of objects and automation processes,

design and develop application software and databases,

apply tools for the development of software systems, web technologies, technologies of distributed systems and parallel computing,

develop artificial intelligence systems.

"Computer engineering"

Graduates will learn to develop:

hardware and software of IT, computer systems and networks,

their system software and databases,

technical means of information protection,

decision making systems,

diagnostic and testing systems,

distributed and cluster computer systems,

local, global and corporate computer networks.

The main difference between "computer engineering" and "computer science" is that "engineering" deals with internal, in relation to the computer, problems (ie, how computers and computer systems work and work). "Science" deals with the problems of using computers to create IT and / or solve problems in certain subject areas.

"Software Engineering"

Graduates will learn how to create applied software:

computer systems and networks,

corporate systems and networks,

decision support systems,

automated control systems,

intelligent systems,

multimedia systems,

software products for business

web portals,

databases and knowledge,

diagnostic and certification software systems,

software for information protection in computer systems and networks

and: computer engineering

manage content, timing, cost and quality, human resources, risks in software development,

use languages ​​for describing architecture and interface, templates, notations, strategies,

test software at the modular, integration and system levels, focused on formal specifications, data flows, conditions of use, determination of reliability, performance,

to develop design working technical documentation.

"Systems Engineering"

Graduates will learn to create:

computerized and robotic systems,

automation systems designed to control technological processes, technical objects and business systems built on the basis of ICS,

means of protecting information and databases and knowledge,

theory of management and decision making,

the latest programming technologies and artificial intelligence.
