Software now plays an important and central role in all aspects of daily life. It is the driving force in business, entertainment, medicine, transportation and especially in aviation. Software Engineers are responsible for the analysis, design, construction and testing of the complex software systems that are essential to the Boeing 777. There are all systems that have computers and the software that runs them “Embedded” inside of another physical system (an airplane, a radar system or a space suit.)

Rapid employment growth in the computer systems design and related service industry, which employs the greatest number of computer software engineers. Information security concerns have been given rise to new software needs. “Cyber Security” should result in business and government continuing to invest heavily on security software that protects their networks and vital electronic infrastructure attack. The expansion of this technology in the next 10 years will lead to an increased need for computer engineers to design and develop the software and systems.
