Why EE
students learn
Programming?
• First step of logical and
ordered thinking.
• Used in embedded systems
i.e., microcontrollers
What is ICT?
• ICT is the use of computing and telecommunication
technologies, systems and tools to facilitate the way
information is created, collected, processed, transmitted
and stored.
• ICT is the infrastructure and components that enable
modern computing. Refers to all computing devices,
networking components, applications and systems that
facilitate interaction with the digital world.
Goal of ICT: To improve the way humans create, process and
share data or information with each other.
ICT is everywhere. To watch a video, to share data or to drop
a message.
ICT vs IT
• IT deals with managing
technologies in an organization,
handling computer queries,
databases, data storage and
management.
• ICT is a broader term that consist
of all components that related to
computer and digital
technologies.
Components of ICT
•Hardware: Computers, servers, routers, mobile devices.
•Software: Operating systems, productivity software, specialized
applications.
•Communication Technologies: Internet, wireless networks,
mobile networks.
•Data Management: Storage, retrieval, and processing of data.
•Security Tools: Firewalls, encryption, antivirus software.
•Protocols: Standards for data exchange and communication
(e.g., TCP/IP, HTTP).

Information Systems
An information system has several parts:
• People (End users who use computers to make themselves more
productive)
• Procedures (Specify rules or guidelines for Computer Operations)
• Software (Provides step by step instructions for computer hardware)
• Hardware (Includes Keyboard, Mouse, Display etc.)
• Data (Unprocessed or Raw Text, figures, facts, images etc.)
• Internet (For connection with people and other computers)
Software
• Software or Programs are instructions that tells the computer how to
process the data in the desired form,
• System Software
1. Operating System
2. Utilities
• Application Software
1. General Purpose
2. Specialized
3. Mobile apps
