Mechanical to Computer science

[PhysicsBegner]

Hi Every one, I'm a mechanical engineering graduate working in software quality assurance. I'm planning to learn the fundamentals concepts of computing and pursue an MS in computing which would enable me to get into research or into tech companies like google.

Could anyone explain what areas of computing, electronics and math should I learn?
Thank you.

"Computing" doesn't sound like "Computer Science" to me. What is a degree in "Computing" ?

I'm sorry its computer science.
