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
We began our project by having a brainstorming session where we discussed a multitude of topics. We decided on "The recent and future demands of the Science, Technology and Engineering sectors" because we found it to be the most relevant...

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.
information you will read about in this paper is what might become of the future.

Average hours and pay characterize these environments, but education continues apace. Few people leave the profession during these years; the hours already devoted in school make it easier to tolerate these few extra workplace indignities. And in about five years one will be leading research teams and turn into people managers as well as project managers. This is an unanticipated turn of events for some, as it removes them from the challenging, intellectually rarefied environment they enjoy and places them in a more administrative role. Most significant design and production work is done in these years.

Possessing the basic knowledge in the field of physical sciences and the intuition in them made me to pick up Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as my majors for the Higher Secondary Education. After the completion of my secondary education, I felt that engineering was the only field which can transform and transfer my dreams in the field of sciences into a real one and also it would give me an opportunity to learn and explore how the fundamentals of science are appl...
A fascination for Science & Technology and keen interest in the ever-growing world of technology motivated me to take up engineering. The power of research and delivering it for the growth of Society is what makes me interested in the technology side of science. I choose to major Computer science Engineering with an intense urge to delve into this challenging field. During my under graduation program I learned the various fundamentals of Computer science Engineering which together with practical course works reinforced my interest.
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.
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.
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
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...
“Knowledge, experience and the quality education are the best accomplishment in the race of life” is the statement in which I strongly believe and I forever yearn to have that. What is innovative today is obsolete tomorrow. We need to constantly streamline and upgrade our tools and resources. I believe that only an in depth study and an extensive research in my field of interest will help me to achieve my goal. I live in a world of changing times where technology is constantly engineering better lives. Brought up in a liberalized, humane and a capriciously technically charged environment, I see myself being a consistent part of constant changes around me. Today, my thoughts and aims in life spring from and centre around the world of Electrical Engineering.
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.
