1. What is the relevance of ICT in your chosen course?

ICT and Computer Engineering course has a somewhat kind of similarities or connection, for me
there is a strong bond between them. Information Communication Technology or (ICT) is the
evolution of technology in terms of communication, data gathering: sorting, computing,
analysing and output data or results. In the field of education and socialization ICT involves and
contribute to its progress, it gives efficient solution and scrutinizing the tools used for
communication. While computer engineering study is focus on how to build new devices, design
computer networks and develop new technologies. It is more focus on the hardware and software
parts of computers; on how to work and interact between the software and hardware parts of the
computer. Therefore the relevance between them is the technology that evolves and
communication. Computer Engineers build and develop new mode of computer technologies
while ICT also develops communication and socialization to people. ICT introduces
technological communication to people and computer engineers develop the technology that
being used.
