What should I study if I like technology?

Technology has changed deeply our society’s bases in the past decades.

Everybody has now-a-days the word “technology” stick to their mouths, but when it comes to define the concept, we can’t do it easily.  Technology can be described as “the sum of theories and techniques that allows the practical use of scientific knowledge”.

Despite this, we use to relate technology with computers and electronic devices. Who imagines life without a Smartphone? How much would change our routine at work without a computer? Technology conditions very basic aspects of our day to day.

In fact, these changes in our society have created new job opportunities regarding technology. Companies need to adapt to these tendencies in order to innovate and hire people from this field. This means that if you’re planning to work in this area, you’ll need to be in constant learning mood, and start by focusing on engineering careers; these are the queens of the technology sector. The not so good thing about these careers is that the field is so wide, people doubt about enrolling into them.

In this post, we will suggest 5 careers that will allow you to explore your talent. Choose your favourite!

1. Informatics engineering:

   the degree in Computer Engineering guarantees a solid scientific and technological training, which qualifies both for the professional practice in the field of computer science and for innovation and research from that generalist and fundamental training.

2. Industrial Design and Product Development:

   the purpose of these studies is to prepare students to be able to direct and manage the entire life process of a product: from the generation of ideas (market analysis, marketing, basic design …), production, manufacturing and the launch of the product, until the study of environmental impact at the end of its useful life.

3. Telecommunications Systems Engineering:

   the degree aims to train professionals with the ability to design, implement and manage wireless communications systems. For example, mobile phone networks, satellite communication, multimedia signal distribution, remote control and radio navigation, etc. The race emphasizes the conception of telecommunication systems and their theoretical foundations.

4. Computer systems engineer:

   If your goal is to define applications or create and manage software development projects, this is the career you are looking for. You will learn to integrate systems, to lead work teams and to define modular and data structures for computer applications.

5. Information Technology (ICT):

   Information Technology Engineering enables professional practice in the development, implementation, operation, evaluation and maintenance of computer systems.

Keep in mind that many of these careers are offered both in the classroom and online mode. How have you taken advantage of your interest in technology? What engineering did you choose? Don’t forget that you can share your experience with us in a comment.
