In this digital age, computer applications are part of every aspect of our lives. Computer scientists devise, develop and apply the software and hardware for the programs we use day in day out. Every industry uses computers so naturally computer scientists are in great demand. Problems in science, engineering, health care, and so many other areas can be solved by computers. It’s up to the computer scientist to figure out how, and design the software to apply the solution.
