Science and Systems Engineering.

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that focuses on how to design and manage complex engineering projects over their life cycles. Issues such as reliability, logistics, coordination of different teams, evaluation measurements, and other disciplines become more difficult when dealing with large or complex projects. Systems engineering deals with work-processes, optimization methods, and risk management tools in such projects. It overlaps technical and human-centered disciplines such as control engineering, industrial engineering, organizational studies, and project management. Systems Engineering ensures that all likely aspects of a project or system are considered, and integrated into a whole.

Systems engineering signifies only an approach and, more recently, a discipline in engineering. The aim of education in systems engineering is to simply formalize the approach and in doing so, identify new methods and research opportunities similar to the way it occurs in other fields of engineering. As an approach, systems engineering is holistic and interdisciplinary in flavour.

The traditional scope of engineering embraces the design, development, production and operation of physical systems, and systems engineering, as originally conceived, falls within this scope. "Systems engineering", in this sense of the term, refers to the distinctive set of concepts, methodologies, organizational structures (and so on) that have been developed to meet the challenges of engineering functional physical systems of unprecedented complexity. The Apollo program is a leading example of a systems engineering project.

The use of the term "system engineer" has evolved over time to embrace a wider, more holistic concept of "systems" and of engineering processes. This evolution of the definition has been a subject of ongoing controversy, and the term continues to apply to both the narrower and broader scope.

Science and System’s History.

The first computer engineering degree program in the United States was established at Case Western Reserve University in 1972. As of October 2004, there were 170 ABET-accredited computer engineering programs in the US. In Europe, accreditation of computer engineering schools is done by a variety of agencies part of the EQANIE (European Quality Assurance Network for Informatics Education) network. Due to increasing job requirements for engineers, who can concurrently design hardware, software, firmware, and manage all forms of computer systems used in industry, some tertiary institutions around the world offer a bachelor's degree generally called computer engineering. Both computer engineering and electronic engineering programs include analog and digital circuit design in their curriculum. As with most engineering disciplines, having a sound knowledge of mathematics and science is necessary for computer engineers.

The Engineering Sciences and Systems at the undergraduate level was established by the Board of the Faculty of Engineering at its meeting on September 25, 1970, as recorded No. 819, Point Four. It began operation in 1972, and then defined as: Engineering Science and Systems is the branch of engineering that deals with the characteristic problems in planning, design, operation and control of large-scale systems that originate with the technological development of society.

The nature of the problems facing the computer engineer led him to integrate teams of work where other participate professionals of other areas. The interdisciplinary approach that characterizes this professional does need to know with depth the science of engineering and has sufficient ease in applying mathematical methods, especially in regard to the models of the physical world. The importance of the systems approach covered in the career made attractive the career as a first step for students who wish to continue with a further specialization in some other area where they will can apply together both knowledge.

Of this account in 1977 was temporarily changed the race for a post-grade named Master Systems, primarily aimed at professionals with degrees of Engineering, Architecture, Economics or Business Administration, which by the nature of their work was require deepen on new techniques offered by the systems approach.

Finally they opt for a career with a focus on Computer Engineering, without set aside the knowledge of the area of methodology of science and systems, for which this career should act as a vehicle for introduction and transmission within the Faculty of Engineering. As a result of the directive Faculty Board, at its meeting of November 9, 1982, in the minutes No. 056-82, paragraph six, decided to restructure the curriculum of studies of the race. Was called Computer Engineering and Systems, then was changed the name that for reasons of law, it could not be used, leaving the title to date in Sciences and Systems Engineering and leaving the duration of this in 5 years.

Areas of systems engineering

Programmer: A programmer, computer programmer, developer, coder, or software engineer is a person who writes computer software. The term computer programmer can refer to a specialist in one area of computer programming or to a generalist who writes code for many kinds of software. One who practices or professes a formal approach to programming may also be known as a programmer analyst. A programmer's primary computer language (C, C++, C#, Java, Lisp, Python, etc.) is often prefixed to the above titles, and those who work in a web environment often prefix their titles with Web. The term programmer can be used to refer to a software developer, Web developer, mobile applications developer, embedded firmware developer, software engineer, computer scientist, or software analyst. However, members of these professions typically[citation needed] possess other software engineering skills, beyond programming; for this reason, the term programmer, or code monkey, is sometimes considered an insulting or derogatory oversimplification of these other professions. This has sparked much debate amongst developers, analysts, computer scientists, programmers, and outsiders who continue to be puzzled at the subtle differences in the definitions of these occupations.

The Database Programmer:

Computer programmers and database administrators design, develop, or contribute to technological applications that improve our lives at work, home, and play. Programmers and software developers use programming languages to write, test, maintain, or revise computer programs. Database administrators
