Abstract

The study of computer-related careers is a perfect opportunity for young people due to the high impact that technology has today since there is an increase in job opportunities for qualified personnel in this area. In addition to having a high offer of jobs, most of these are the best paid today. The most encouraging part of preparing in this area is that in the immediate future, it is envisioned to continue with this demand and have a career that will not be absorbed by automation and the development of artificial intelligence.

On the other hand, the means of communication where young people can find out about the academic offer are isolated, or they must have a clear idea of a university, or it is generally achieved by recommendation of another professor or by having seen a lecture by a particular professor. Notice that students do not have a general vision of the academic offer. This article presents an initiative to concentrate information on careers related to Computing in Mexico and presents statistics on the data collected. This study aims to present an academic offer to young people in careers related to computing. The academic degrees are bachelor's/engineering, master's, and doctoral. The data presented corresponds to 33 bachelor's/engineering, 30 master's, and 21 doctoral programs. The careers related to computing and information technology most offered in Mexico in 2022 were: computer systems engineering and computer engineering. The information presented here is available at: http://computo.fismat.umich.mx/smcc/mapaComputacion/
