  8. Training, Qualifications, and Advancement Most employers prefer to hire people who have at least a college degree and experience with a variety of computer systems. Students seeking software engineering jobs can improve their chances by signing up as interns to get some experience. Large firms that can train new hires may take new grads with no experience. Persons looking at jobs in this field must have strong problem-solving skills. They also must be able to work with team members, other staff, and customers since they often deal with many tasks at the same time, they must be able to focus and pay close attention to detail. As technology advances in the computer field, employers want workers to keep up. Software engineers must learn new skills if they wish to remain in this advancing field. To help them keep up, employers, vendors, private training schools, and others offer a large number of courses.

  9. Nature of the Work Computer software engineers apply computer science, engineering, and math to design, develop, and test software. Computer systems software engineers construct and maintain computer programs for companies. For example, they might develop programs that do recordkeeping and payroll. They might also set up an "intranet"—an internal and secure computer network—for a company. Many software engineers work for companies that make or install new and more advanced computer systems. May be long work hours. Working on a computer screen for countless of hours.

  10. Job Availability • Computer applications software engineers held about 514,800 jobs in 2008, while computer systems software engineers held about 394,800. • Although they have jobs in most industries, many computer software engineers work in computer systems design and related services. • Both computer applications software engineers and computer systems software engineers are projected to be among the fastest growing occupations from 2008 to 2018. • Rapid growth in the computer systems design industry should mean good opportunities for college grads with a degree and some experience. • Employers will look for software engineers with a strong background in programming and systems analysis, along with business and people skills.

  11. Earning Potential Average yearly wages for those who specialized in computer applications software engineers were $87,900 in May 2008. Average yearly wages for those who specialized in computer systems software engineers were $94,520 in May 2008.

  12. Personal Traits You should be able to remain Calm at all times, as computer Work can get stressful at times When troubleshooting must Be done. You should be creative and Should be well rounded in all School subjects, and should Be prepared for long work hours. You should also be prepared to Tackle on difficult math problems. Someone who pays attention to details and can handle more than one task at a time.  You’ll need to be able work independently, but also with a team of other engineers. You’ll need to be a good listener if you’re going to understand what clients and users need your software to do. Try several approaches to the same programming problems. Spend many hours debugging programs Keep up with a constantly changing and growing technology by reading and taking classes. Be patient and tactful, but also relentless in getting the job done.

  13. Related Occupation • Computer hardware engineers • Computer support specialists • Computer scientists • Database administrators • Systems analysts

  14. Trends/Outlook With technology advancing each coming day, you will always need to Stay updated in terms of the technological advancements. It is said that by 2018 jobs in this field will rise greatly, thus there will be more Job openings than engineers. Demand for computer software engineers will increase as computer networking continues to grow. For example, the expanding integration of Internet technologies and the explosive growth in electronic commerce—doing business on the Internet—have resulted in rising demand for computer software engineers who can develop Internet, intranet, and World Wide Web applications.
