談到電腦就必須談到目前三大電腦相關科系: 資訊系, 資訊工程及電腦繪圖設計, 前兩者是息息相關的, 而後者則除了各繪圖軟體的學習外, 學生亦必須具備藝術及美感的天分.接下來, 我會一一談論三者:

首先, 資訊系主在學習電腦科技對各行各業的運用有那些, 故學生亦會學習一些基本的系統分析及程式設計(從設計, 軟體寫作, 到測試), 故課程學習將包括機器人學, natural language recognition programs, 人工智慧, 許多不同的軟體設計語言, data processing及數值分析等. 至於出路部分, 程式設計在各行各業都一直不斷的有著不同的需求, 故前景依然是有的, 尤其是遊戲軟體設計. 下面是該系可能的出路:

Applications Programmer	Artificial Intelligence Specialist	CAD/CAM Designer
Computer Engineer	Computer Programmer	Computer Systems Mgr.
Database Mgr.	Electronic Data Processing Auditor	Mgr., Management Info Systems
Operations Research Specialist	Operating Systems Programmer	Special Effects (FX) Specialist
Systems Analyst	Systems Programmer	Systems Software Developer
Technical Sales Representative	Technical Support Representative	Technical Writer

其次是, 資訊工程的學生基本上必須同時涉及電腦軟體及硬體, 由於硬體牽涉到迴路理論及電子迴路, 故資訊工程與電子工程系是非常相關的, 故許多課程你也可以在電子工程系找到, 該系的課程乃包羅萬象: 操作系統, 電腦架設, 電腦網絡( computer networks), 機器人學,人工智慧, 甚至是computer-aided design. 故學生必須具備數學, 物理, 程式設計, 電腦架構等知識. 目前資訊工程的發展較注重在在半導體應用, 高容量或各類型電腦設計, 數據處理系統及大量資訊傳輸等 - 被稱為是"資訊高速公路"設計. 故基本上資訊工程的出路前景較資訊系來得更寬廣:

Applications Analyst	Drafter, Electrical	Printed Circuit Designer
Aviation Electronics Engineer	Drafting & Printed Circuit Design Engr.	Prospecting Engineer
Cable Engineer	Electrical Test Engineer	Protection Engineer
Computer Applications Engineer	Electrolysis & Corrosion-Control Engr.	Robotics Control System Engineer
Computer Engineer	Illuminating Engineer	Semiconductor Development Tech.
Computer Programmer	Induction-Coordination Power Engr.	Software Engineer
Computer-Aided Design Technician	Instrumentation Technician	Solid-State Engineer
Control Systems Engineer	Integrated Circuit Layer Designer	Supervisor, Network Control Operations
Controls Engineer	Microwave Supervisor	System Development Engineer
Data Communications Analyst	Operations Research Analyst	Systems Analyst
Design Engineer	Planning Engineer	Systems Programmer
Distribution Field Engineer	Power Distribution Engineer	Test Engineer

最後是電腦繪圖設計, 其實此科系乃是原美術設計+電腦運用的結合體, 故學生最主要是學習如何運用各個電腦繪圖軟體來創造他們的美術作品, 故學生藝術創意能力及軟體操作熟悉度將主導該學生未來的前途. 至於此科系的出路則與一般視覺藝術設計相仿:

Advertising Artist	Cinematographer	Jewelry Designer
Animator	Corporate Curator	Landscape Architect
Appraiser	Costume Designer	Layout Artist
Architecture Model Builder	Courtroom Sketcher	Muralist
Archivist	Curatorial Assistant	Non-Profit Administrator
Art Teacher	Display/Set Designer	Photo Journalist
Art Therapist	Drafter	Product Designer
Arts Administrator	Engraver	Production Assistant
Arts Conservator	Exhibit Designer	Public Relations Coordinator
Arts Critic	Fashion Coordinator	Publications Assistant
Book Illustrator	Filmmaker	Restorer
Buyer	Freelance Artist	Retail Store Art Director
Calligrapher	Graphic Artist	Sales Assistant
Cartoonist	Illustrator	Store Manager
Ceramic Artist	Interior Designer	Textile Designer
