eScience themes
By the term “eScience” we mean the skills involved in the analysis,
presentation, and management of data in commerce, industry and research; the
use of computer analysis, modelling and data presentation tools; and the use
of the World Wide Web and virtual environments for presentation and cooperation
in the use of data.
In other words, our view is that eScience includes material from both Computational
Science and Software Engineering as well as other topics such as graphics, virtual
reality, general computer science.
Indications from IT employers are that science and engineering graduates turn
out to be excellent IT professionals after a phase of appropriate training,
and there are positions in the industry which require the strong analytical
skills of these graduates.
