Computer science

As I ploughed through a dense text on Human Computer Interaction, I questioned my choice of pursuing an eye gesture control system as my final year project. The idea was novel: Figure out a way to control an on-screen cursor with the help of pupil movements. However, the expertise it required was not my or my group’s forte. Granted we had some programming experience, we were still aware of the challenges that would inevitably line our journey. Foremost was a strong foundation of knowledge. The…

field of computer science, I began questioning this career choice. Particularly, during my sophomore year, one course exposed me to the lifestyle of a video game developer. Ultimately, I realized I did not enjoy this lifestyle or work environment. As a result, I began questioning what I wanted to do in life. More importantly, I wanted to find a career I will enjoy for years to come. Concurrently, I started working as a classroom learning assistant (CLA) for undergraduate computer science…

will be available by 2020, but they are reserved for computer science workers, and only about 400,000 computer science students would predicted to be available at that time (Education Week, vol. 35, no. 34). Jobs in computer science are spreading more faster than any other fields, but only 22 percent of U.S. high school senior said that they have taken a computer science class. The reason why many students were not able to take these computer science classes is because their schools did not…

students in the computer science program will help determine how far computer science will go in the future. The article “CS Education in the U.S.: Heading in the wrong Direction “looks on how American universities are teaching Computer Science program and how the applications used to teach those students affect how skilled a person will be in the computer science work field. Robert Dewar, a professor emeritus of computer science, think that schools are making the computer science program too…

Berkeley? * I chose to attend UC Berkeley because it was my dream school. I had grown up around UC Berkeley my entire life and did not consider it seriously until I took a class there and considered computer science to be my major. UC Berkeley is one of the top schools in the country for computer science and the diversity of Berkeley is one of a kind. When I took a class there in the summer and I felt like a Berkeley student and it felt right. Please finish this sentence. "My Alumni…

In an inspirational video, General Electric celebrates Millie Dresselhaus, a well known scientist and engineer known as the “queen of carbon science” by showing a hypothetical situation in which Dresselhaus was treated as a celebrity; she is shown as appearing on television as a prominent figure, and young girls play with figurines modeled after Dresselhaus (General Electric). This is an excellent…

college with an attitude that if I want to become someone I needed to change the way I looked at my academics. Starting out my college career I had no idea what I really wanted to be, as I was all over the place, first chemistry major and then a computer science major. I went on and tried both of the majors out thinking that’s exactly who I really wanted to be, but in fact I really pulled my academics to the minimal low and did not succeed in both. That is when I realized I needed a solid…

1) How is the business environment changing? What are the implications of these changes for organizations? What are the implications of these changes for you personally? This question will involve research on your part. The gist of the readings from this week put an emphasis innovation and changes in technology. For businesses this means either rise above and adapt to the changes or sink. Along with advancements in technology comes globalization, meaning companies must be willing to spread…

According to Jame Marcia, there are four different stages of identity that a person can align themselves with given a certain aspect of their life. The stages are diffusion, foreclosure, moratorium, and achievement. Diffusion is the state of having no clear idea of one’s identity and making no attempt to find it. foreclosure is the state of blindly accepting one’s identity and values that were given in childhood by family and significant others. Moratorium is when the adolescent has a vague or…

My game that a thought would not work; I have now found the tool I need to fix it. I begin following the forums’ instructions right away. After thirty minutes, the game is fixed and ready to play. I feel nervous as I restart my computer, and pull double-click my game engine icon. I click start on the game and cross my fingers. I start whispering to myself, “Please, work for me.” over and over again. “It works! I cannot believe it!” I say, screaming at the top of my lungs. I immediately…
