Reality Check for Achievements of CSE Dept at BUET

On 6th November 2007 at 6:00 pm in the seminar room of Civil Building (1st floor). A seminar on 'Prospects, achievements and traditions of the CSE Department of the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET)' was held.

It's time now to do a better analysis for achievements of the CSE Department of the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).

Please do a reality check, are we teaching our BUET CSE Students to stay current? We are not teaching our students with current job trends. Just to let you know, two categories shrank: programmers declined 5%, while support specialists fell 4%. So if we just focus programming is that going to work?

Our Bangladeshi IT Companies can't find a single experienced IT Project Manager or Business Analyst, so where we are?

Please read below all BANGLA IT Postings to learn more about market demand as IT job market keeps changing, making it tough for tech pros trying to stay current.

Two recent research reports show the IT job market keeps changing, making it tough for tech pros trying to stay current.
The good news for IT pros is this change is happening amid expansion of U.S. tech employment, with the number of jobs rising 6% from a year ago to 3.68 million, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Tech unemployment was 2% as of the third quarter, an improvement from 2.2% in 2006 and its eight-year high of 5.6% in the third quarter of 2003.
The biggest job growth categories continue to be software engineers, computer scientists and systems analysts, and IS managers. Two categories shrank: programmers declined 5%, while support specialists fell 4%. The jobs statistics continue trends that have marked IT employment's slow recovery from a fierce downturn between 2002 and 2004, when the number of jobs fell below 3.3 million.
