enterprise computing

Hey I just want to know what people think of the new computing degree in DCU.

All replys will be appreciated

It looks kinda easy. Call me old fashioned, but a computing degree where you don't have to do any programming just seems a little odd.

When I was at the open day. They told me there is some programming, just not to the same extent as computer app.

Enterprise Computing is basically Computer Applications for Ugg-wearing business students. In first year you do mostly the same subjects as CA but it will change after that I believe.

Old CA Information Systems = Enterprise Computing
Old CA Software Engineering = Computer Applications

It's not easy. The dropout rate is horrendous. About 75% of students won't make it into second year - they simply don't understand that programming and maths are actually quite difficult.

If you have no passion for computers and can't do anything other than run Football Manager or Need For Speed in Windows, you might as well do yourself a favour and apply for another course.

(Speaking as a third year CASE student here.)

Bit of a generalistation "Ugg wearing Biz students".

You obviously haven't been in many lectures with EC students.

I don't think EC is a bad course at all. There's plenty of these types of graduates needed.

How many business students do you know that know detailed information about stuff like Logic, How and OS actually works and Networks?

In any case (pun not intended) I'm in CA but as they do everything we do less Programming (Some of them actualy do as there option). I can't see much of a difference so far.

EC - Good course as with CA.

Maths and Programming are hard work though so prepare to have to work consistently and put in the effort OP.

the butcher

after graduating from CAIS, the whole talk of case vs cais was and always shall be bullocks. aslong as you get a decent degree at the end of it, you should be fine jobwise. currently working as a DBA/developer myself. would be interested in what new modules would be in EC

I am thinking of doing this course next year....just wondering exactly how much maths is involved and how much business is involved??
