Norman Joseph Woodland and Bernard Silver were the inventor that created the barcode system that was based of morse code but to make it work they will need a highly scripted computing system that made adjustments through trial and error until it was corrected and be able to scan products correctly, later that year in 1951 it was patented in the US marking its existence but it took a little over 20 years to be commercialized. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/history-bar-code-180956704/ -
Computer System Engineering started in 1939 but Computer did not become a college major til 1953 where the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory were the first to provide the program degrees.
