Refleksi ALPRO

Pada tanggal 09-03-2013 saya memasuki perkuliahan ALPRO untuk pertama kalinya. Waktu itu saya datang jam 06.50, dan begitu saya sudah masuk ruangan kelas, dosen ALPRO sudah datang terlebih dahulu. Itu artinya saya terlambat masuk kelas, dan merasa malu.
Awal pertemuan pertama kami tidak mempelajari materi perkuliahan, melainkan dosen menjelaskan tentang kontrak belajar, prosedur-prosedur yang harus dilakukan selama perkuliahan, dan memberikan motivasi kepada kami.
Lalu setelah itu, dosen langsung memberikan tugas berupa
1. Harus mendaftarkan forumtif.uad.ac.id
2. milis ALPRO
3. membuat blog portopolio
4. meringkas materi yang diberikan, lalu materinya tersebut harus di posting di blog portopolio.
sekian dan terima kasih ^^

RINGKASAN PERTEMUAN 1

Section 3 Career Opportunities

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is the principal fact-finding agency for the U.S. Federal Government in the field of labor economics and statistics. This agency publishes The Occupational Outlook Handbook , which is a nationally recognized source of career information, designed to provide valuable assistance to individuals making decisions about their future work lives. The Handbook is revised every two years. In 2011, an occupation search using the term computer science resulted in over 9000 search results with more than 40 career matches. This means that computer science was listed in the job description, or in the type of degree desired, or in the recommended courses for that job. Examples of the matched include Computer Software engineers, Computer Systems analysts, Mathematicians, Computer Programmers, Web Designers and Developers, Secondary and Postsecondary Teachers, Statisticians, Medical Records and Health Information Technicians, Atmospheric Scientists, Market and Survey Researcher, Economists, Radiation Therapists, Urban and Regional Planners, Surveyors and Mapping Technicians, Conservation Scientists and Foresters, Travel Agents, Private Detectives and Investigators, Geoscientists, Psychologists, and Interpreters and Translators.

The Demand in the United States and in the World According to the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook, computer software engineer and computer scientist and database administrator are some of the occupations projected to grow the fastest and to add the most new jobs over the 2008–2018 decade. Strong employment growth combined with a limited supply of qualified workers will
result in excellent employment prospects. Those with practical experience and at least a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering or computer science should have the best opportunities.

Employers will continue to seek computer professionals with strong programming, systems analysis, interpersonal, and business skills. The Federal Government is the nation’s largest employer, with more than 1.8 million civilian employees. Computer specialists—primarily computer software engineers, computer systems analysts, and network administrators—are employed throughout the federal government. Of all the “professional and related occupations” listed as employed by the federal government, only the occupations of computer specialists and conservation scientists were projected to have an actual increase in job numbers for the 2008–2018 decade. The growing need for computer professionals is increased by the looming retirement of a generation of baby boomers, and all of this is occurring as the government projects that the computer science/IT workforce will grow nearly 25 percent between 2008 and 2018 more than twice as fast as the overall workforce.

Today’s student should not be worried about any impact outsourcing computer jobs to other countries will have on their ability to find a job. The fact is many companies have tried outsourcing entire projects and found that it does not work well.
