Software engineers generally need to analyze the users' needs. Once this is done, they design, construct, test, and maintain the needed soft ware or systems. During the programming, or coding, they tell a computer, line by line, how it is to function. They also fix any problems that they run into. They must have strong coding skills, but these engineers are more likely to develop algorithms and solve problems than they are to write code. Software engineers work as part of a team most of the time. The team designs new hardware, software, and systems. A core team may have engineering, marketing, factory, and design people who must work together in order to create the finished product. Software engineers usually work in well-lighted offices or labs. Most of the engineers work, at the least, 40 hours a week. If there is a big project that is due, the engineers may find themselves having to work nights or weekends to meet the product’s deadlines. Like any other person who sits for hours at a computer, computer software engineers are susceptible to eyestrain, back ache, and hand and wrist pain. Software engineers who are employed by vendors and consulting firms sometimes have to spend time away from their offices to meet with their customers. As networks begin to expand, the engineers may be able to use modems, laptops, e-mail, and the internet to find the problem, and even fix it from their own office. If I became such an engineer, my life would definitely take a turn for the better. I’d be dedicated to what I was doing, and I’d get the job done. The average yearly wages for computer applications software engineers were $87,900 in May 2008, and the average yearly wages for computer systems software engineers were $94,520. The median yearly salary for computer software engineers according to a May 2009 Bureau of Labor Statistics report was $96,620. So their pay is roughly around the $88,000-$95,000 range. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 760,840 software engineers holding jobs in the U.S. Computer applications software engineers held about 514,800 jobs in 2008, while computer systems software engineers held about 394,800. Although they have jobs in most industries, many computer software engineers work in computer systems design and related services. Employers range from startups to well-known industry leaders. A growing number of these workers get jobs on a temporary basis, or work as consultants. Both computer applications software engineers and computer systems software engineers are projected to be among the fastest growing occupations from 2008 to 2018 Based on this, I think my life would definitely improve if I were to become a computer software engineer. There are a lot of
Software Engineer Patrick Nucci 1 Occupations within the software engineering field are expected to grow faster than other occupations by 22% over the next ten years (Statistics, 2014). My chosen profession requires knowledge of coding, strong analytical skills; mathematical analysis and commitment. Software development engineers design games and it starts with knowing how to code programming languages such as C, C++ and Java. (TryEngineering, 2014) Software engineers demonstrate their unique skills…
Engineering was what I feel like doing since my childhood. Since being a child I was very conscious about how things works and what was really in the machines which make them so interesting? I was always more interested in science subjects than any other subject. So following what I believe I selected science subjects in O levels and then completed my A levels in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. I strived hard in the field and got admission in the Software Engineering at University of Bedfordshire…

This is not necessarily a large project, but the installation of 10 wireless access points in a company is a complex undertaking that has the potential to impact a lot of stakeholders and also incur a lot of company resources and cost. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is known as the “foundation” of the project (Mathis, 2008). The WBS helps break down the complex tasks into progressively smaller pieces. Basically a $100,000 could be made to look like a bunch of $5000-$10,000 projects. This activity…

I have had some accomplishment which I was proud of but there’s one I remember like it was yesterday. It was back in 2002 when I was 12 years and still in school back in Netherlands where I was raised. I was in year 8 similar to year 11 in this country and was about to go to College. There were 3 classroom and they were all in year 8 and the teachers were going to have a singing competition between the 3 classrooms. At first I was a bit skeptical but I give it a shot. Ten people entered the competition…
the most sought after careers in computing is software engineering. Computer software engineers design and construct new software in order to meet the needs of their clients by writing algorithmic code that is intended to solve a particular problem. They may write helpful applications targeted for individuals, or maybe develop network systems so that companies can record sales or keep track of their contacts. The average yearly salary for a software engineer is around $88,000, of course depending…
