7. Most colleges have courses in IT, which someone going into this field will need. Good knowledge of mathematics, especially OOPS concept is necessary. Depending on the school, you may be considered an Engineering student instead of a physics student, but there will be a fair amount of overlap. This is one of the more practical fields of physics, so you will likely focus more on applications than theory.

8. IT Literacy Definition IT (Information Technologies) literacy is using digital technology, communications tools, and/or networks to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, and create information in order to function in a knowledge society. The five critical components of IT literacy are: Access - knowing about and knowing to collect and/or retrieve information Access – knowing about and knowing how to collect and/or retrieve information Manage – applying an existing organizational or classification scheme Integrate – interpreting and representing information. It involves summarizing, comparing and contrasting Evaluate – making judgments about the quality, relevance, usefulness, or efficiency of information. Create – generating information by adapting, applying, designing, inventing, or authoring information.

9. Integrate Information MECHANISMS: IT tools used to summarize, compare and contrast information Such as: spreadsheet visualization system statistical analysis tools INPUT: Raw data, information OUTPUT: Interpreted information; conclusions, reports, presentations CONTROLS: e.g. Cost, Schedule, protocol, laws, regulations Summarize, compare, and contrast information
