Computer science

I chose Computer Science because I love it. I've not been a ‘computers guy’ from very beginning. I caught this fever when I got my first PC. I was in 7th grade then. I learnt to use it then, and obviously struggled. There was a friend who always helped me, every problem I faced, he had solution to that on the go. I envied him. So, he developed my interest in computers. The amazing things we can accomplish using computer knowledge always amazed me. I started to explore the tech world and learnt a…

Throughout the decades Computer Science has become a growing career field. Many students choose to major in it as both undergraduate and graduate students. But, like any other major there other students who have dropped out of Computer Science for specific reasons. So Now the question “Is Computer Science a good choice for a major?” is being asked. Depending on the person an individual is, Computer Science is a good major. In this research, to answer the question “Is Computer Science a good…

The Puzzle Of Computer Science Philosophy A major in Computer Science has always been what I have wanted to achieve. My brain is constantly in a state of self imposed hyperactivity. I have excelled in creating new puzzles in order for my brain to get its daily dose of adrenaline. However the adrenaline rush i got from my first puzzle would last much longer than expected, becoming my own personal stalker. When I first got asked the question such as every other child is, what do you want…

graduate with a BS in Computer Science to someday work in the IT field. I’m a firm believer of the importance of writing down your goals. I manage to write down every…

Literature Review The gender disparity in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in the United States has reached a critical state. Previous research indicates there are several factors that have contributed to the STEM gender gap, including teacher (Beilock, Gunderson, Ramirez & Levine, 2010) and parental influences (Gunderson, Ramirez, Levine, & Beilock, 2011), stereotype threat (Shapiro & Williams, 2012), and institutional climate (Baldwin, 2009;…

Computer science is an excellent career choice because it deals with one of the fastest growing fields, computers (Smith). This career is constantly evolving, which makes the workplace stimulating and challenging. Computer science is changing the world we inhabit by making many advancements in computing. In the 1960s, computer science became an independent discipline; however, the study of the electronic computer was around prior to it (History). The development of Boolean algebra accelerated…

the field of computer science and engineering has opened up a progressive path to a gamut of research opportunities. Also to excel in today's rapidly changing field of Computer Science, and to realize the acme of one's potential in the field of research in information technology, one must possess an equilibrium of theoretical as well as practical knowledge. After perusing my personal interests, past education and work experience, I have decided to pursue masters in computer science. And it is…

Computer science is a male dominated job sector that is not well oriented for the normal female worker. It is seen as a world where only males can succeed. Most jobs in the computer science area are seen as male jobs. But it is time for a major shake-up in this society’s modern workplace. Melissa Koch states that there are many different reasons for females not pursuing a career in computer science. One of Koch’s reasons is that the “media depict men as experts in technology”. When…

field of Computer Science has always been my dream. With an intense urge to delve into this challenging field, the eagerness to experiment and explore new panoramas, I strongly believe that experiencing the world of work for a couple of years would not suffice. A comprehensive graduate program is a consummate supplement…

report Dear Heidi Smith, Greetings, For this short report, I interviewed my Computer Science 111 instructor Robert Sloan. He is one of most experienced professors of computer science at UIC and is admired by many of the students who take his class. From this interview, I gained insights about his teaching experience and his work in cyber security. Professor Sloan has been working in the field of cyber security and computer science for a long time and has gained a lot of knowledge in this field.…
