How should a future student determine his preferences and choose the best IT specialty for him? In this video, we will briefly review all specialties of the 12th branch of Information technology: 121 - software engineering, 122 - computer science, 123 - computer engineering, 124 - system analysis, 125 - cyber security, 126 - information systems and technologies . Let's talk about what specialties are defined by Computing Curricula 2020 (https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/...) - a leading document from the authoritative organizations Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS ), which defines the global concept of modern IT education. How do these specialties correlate with our domestic list of specialties. Based on Computing Curricula 2020, we will define the concept of computing. Using visual infographics, we will show the place and role of each IT specialty in the global field of computing. Let's outline the features of Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Information Technology, and Software Engineering specialties. Let us recall the gradual separation of the new IT specialty Data Science. This video should be especially useful for those who plan to take the first steps in IT and choose from which direction to start their immersion in the field of Information Technologies. 00:00 Introduction 00:56 What does modern higher education offer for training future IT specialists? 02:22 What is Computing Curricula 03:28 What is computing?
