Introduction
National Skills Bulletin 2013 report, which was written with information gathered The information contained in this research project gathers together the most recently available data concerning; Science, Technology and Engineering. We believe that these sectors have contracted very modestly in contrast to others over the period 2007-2013, and in the future will be play a key role in the Irish economy. For this report we gathered data from a number of different websites. We found www.careersportal.ie and www.skillsireland.ie to be the most noteworthy. Both of these websites got their information from the Central Statistics Office. Throughout our research we discovered that employment in I.T. and engineering actually grew by more than 5% during the period 2007-2013 and science shrank only by 0.6% well below the national average of 3%. There is a significant shortage in these sectors particularly in I.T. and future career opportunities look promising.
Context and Problem space
The purpose of this study was to research the labour market in the areas of science, engineering and information technology. The theory is that having a career in any of these sectors is more secure and increasing in demand. Moving forward into education in the areas of science, engineering, and technology what will be the future job prospects of these areas. This study will look at all the relevant material to establish what the labour market trends are and predict what they will be in the future.
Methodology

Conclusion
To conclude our findings of Recent and Future demands of Science, Technology and Engineering sectors. We found that by using information from the Central Statistics Office that during the period of 2007-2013 employment in IT and Engineering grew while Science shrank by a small percentage. The purpose of this study was to see what career prospects lay ahead for anyone who chose to study a degree in these areas. This study is relevant to the DFS1 course we are studying at the moment and has been done to give students a greater understanding and a better piece of mind for the coming years. Our results are accurate and though the research phase was daunting we worked as a group to get it completed.
Immigrants have been a key part of The United States’ development into a first-world nation. Their impact on the nation is dichotomous; parts of society have actively sought to increase immigration, while other parts have actively fought against its expansion. The types of immigrants have changed throughout American history - the perception of immigrants has not. Economics has dominated the argument of immigration, as pro-immigration individuals seek to financially benefit from the influx of immigrants and anti-immigration individuals seek to limit the financial damages caused by immigration. The arguments made by opponents of immigrants reveal strong economic fears, while also revealing fears

“One thing I think is certain that if the emigrants knew before hand what they have to suffer for about the first six months after leaving home in every respect they would never come here.”
The Hart Report, on the other hand, also states the same problem of unemployment and the global recession which has left employers focusing on employees not only with specialists’ skills but also a “broader range of skills and knowledge” (page 6-7). The Hart Report clearly reflects what the needs of contemporary employers are, but the question is whether it is the universities or the students themselves who fail to cope with the requirements of the contemporary world which is filled with technological advancement and critical thinking. The Texas Work Source has also played an important role in examining what is actually missing in today’s generation and the reasons behind such a great decline in employment. The central Shafiq 2 problem discussed by all the three reports is the employment crisis which the millennials will be facing due to the educational problems, either in the schools or in the students, and at the same time the increasing demand of symbol analysts. All three reports are an eye-opener for the millennials, as they have clearly demonstrated all the prob... ...
The “New Ireland” emerged in the 1990s’ when the country experienced an economic-cultural boom in which it was transformed from one of Europe's poorer countries into one of its wealthiest.
Have you wondered what would be the best degree to have in your life? The STEM vs. Humanities argument is a decades-long debate, but in this new era, the answer is quickly becoming clear. The STEM field is rapidly growing, with new and innovative advances. STEM degrees are becoming increasingly useful for young adults, far ahead of humanities and liberal arts degrees. STEM majors make more money, are better employed, and are better educated and prepared for work. STEM graduates are making nearly $16,000 more than their liberal arts counterparts and are more likely to hold a full-time job. The job market for STEM fields is also favorable for young adults, with the unemployment rate of STEM majors being a full 1.6% lower than the unemployment
Learning is a continuous process and the day that you stop learning is the day that you start decreasing your rewards and lower levels of satisfaction. My ardent desire to acquire knowledge has motivated me to pursue higher studies at graduate level, and to take up a career in research in industry. I have taken this decision after carefully considering my academic background, profound interest in research and strong aptitude for problem solving. Banking on an excellent academic record coupled with a keen interest in the ever-growing field of science and technology motivated me to take up engineering.
Since the turn of the millennium Ireland witnessed unprecedented growth, in stark contrast to the economic hardship of the 1900’s. Ireland became one of the most prosperous countries in Europe during the 2000’s. Times were good for Ireland as unemployment was low, growth and GDP was growing year on year and inflation was constant. In 2008, all this was to change and Ireland witnessed the worst recession in its history. The banking crisis, the construction sector and poor regulation were the major contributors in the Irish recession. A fiscal crisis erupted, NAMA (National Assets Management Agency) was established to secure bad loans in banks, and a EU/IMF bailout was agreed which burdened Irish taxpayers. I will explore the causes and consequences of the crisis in this essay.
The development of science and technology, which are also, depends on culture and education progress. Educations have cultural and technological knowledge and imparted training in personnel functions. Education is to promote the development of science and technology, which is an important social factor. At the same time, advances in science and technology are an important factor in promoting cultural development, the use of modern information technology, the collection, transfer, storage means and methods of cultural resources has been a fundamental change, which greatly promoted the cultural transmission, inheritance and development. In a sense, science is a great adventure, it is a stimulating and exciting career filled.
Engineering careers create millions of jobs, all specific to the minds of mathematic and scientific individuals. From the beginning of humankind, engineering has been prevalent in society. Every day, engineering exposes the world to revolutionary structural, biological, and chemical advancements. Some of these innovations change how the world functions. For instance, the creation of suspension bridges gave way to fluent travel, and the design of compact batteries allowed for advancements in technology. Engineering has a diverse history, rigorous education requirements, and genuine real world applications. Two notable forms of engineering are civil engineering and chemical engineering.
One of the quickest growing types of jobs is engineering. With the world progressing the way it is we need more engineers to come up with new, environmentally friendly products. Our world won’t be able to hold human life as we know it forever so humans need to come up with a more efficient way of living. Taking an issue one part at a time and eventually making our world better, healthier and more pleasant is the goal of this profession. More engineers are needed than ever before because it is getting harder to come up with new and more efficient products that consumers want. Electro-mechanical engineers are one of the few types of engineers that can work in two different fields. They can either work on mechanical
People travel miles in search of their true passion; some find them early in their life and I consider myself lucky enough to be one among them. I found my true calling at the age of 12 on a field trip to a milk factory. It seemed like the Disneyland of science with huge machineries, conveyer belts running all around, and instruments working about in their own rhythm with sheer intricacies and perfection. As a kid, I was eager to understand the mechanics behind this magical rhythm. The desire of gaining in-depth knowledge about Control System and Automation eventually led me to choose Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering as my undergraduate study.
At the dawn of the information age, to be young, as Wordsworth said in another context, is very heaven. Getting to know what goes inside computers, the engines of the Information Technology revolution, and knowing how to work with them enables one to understand the technology that makes it all possible. Understanding this, I chose to do my undergraduate study in Electronics and Communications engineering.
Being well acknowledged about the above saying has pushed me a mile further for every aspect of my life. The four year engineering course in Information Technology has always been a beautiful experience and has inspired me to put the knowledge into my Masters degree. This would allow me to enhance my knowledge about technology and its pros and cons and the guidance I would need. Gone are those days when man had to slog for simple works, he has advanced into boundaries which are unimaginable and has made his life easy, being an essential part of such an advancement has always been my motive. To attain my goal, my first priority would be in the field of research which will consist experiencing the applications in the real world steered by comprehensive know-how about technology. Technology has prevailed and casted its spell to parts unknown and now has been imbibed into man.
First of all, parents cannot make a decision for their children’s major in higher institution because of the generation gap between them. In our modern era, it can easily be observed that our younger generation is more advance in term of science and technology compared to the older generation. On account of these new science and technology discoveries, a lot of new majors in higher institution have been added which also correspond to the number of new job opportuni...
