in “how people learn to write not as children but as adults in moving among different discourse communities” ( Wardle 284 IP 1). One example that Wardle used to further her understanding of a discourse community was the example of “Alan who is a computer support specialist who did not learn or choose to write in the ways his humanities department colleagues (Primarily professors, and graduate students) found appropriate and legitimate” (Wardle 291 IP 1). Alan viewed himself as a god in his…

There are a number of changes that arise when students continue their studies outside their home country. In particular, these are changes that are concerned with being immersed in a different education system. When I moved from the Philippines to New Zealand in 2012, I experienced an educational transition that significantly affected my mathematics learning. Two such changes that I faced are language I used in my learning and type of mathematical understanding I developed. These changes that…

that incited my passion for Computer Science. As a middle schooler, computers intrigued me. I always wanted to find the answer to the question “How can a small little box be so smart?” To do so, I decided to enroll myself into the STEM Academy at my high school. I began as a freshman, by taking Computer Science I. Next, in my sophomore year, I jumped into AP Computer Science A. This year, I decided to double up and take both Computer Science 3 as well as AP Computer…

software engineer. The story reflects to how computer engineers communicates with others, when the husband passes by a grocery store, he buys an apple until he bought the tenth apple. I am not surprise if you feel confused about this eccentric story, because it is the logic that computer engineers use to communicate with machines. Unfortunately, computer engineers are accustomed to use the same communication approach in their real life, therefore, many computer engineers feel difficult to pass…

sparked in me not only a love of video games, but also an interest in computers. That was a decade ago. Today that little spark has grown into a raging fire of passion for computers and new technology. Whenever there are new technological advances, you can be sure I know about them. Whether it’s new hardware, like the Xbox One, or new software such as Windows 10. I decided long ago that whatever career I pursued had to involve computers. As college crept closer and closer, so did the pressure…

What put Carnegie Mellon on my radar is the fact that it is ranked among the top computer science programs in the country. I am applying because I want to be at a school where everyone is as driven and as focused as me. Students at Carnegie Mellon get to start focusing on their careers during their freshman year. I know that I want a career in computer science or engineering, so the fact that I would get to immediately take classes pertaining to my major attracts me. I am also fascinated by the…

him because he has the same engineering major that I am interested in pursuing which is computer science. He is also passionate about what he does and has interesting projects that he worked on and that interested me greatly and inspire me to continue my studies as a computer science major. b) Dr. Oscar Morales Ponce started his education by getting his bachelor of science in applied mathematics and computers in the UNAM, a very prestigious university in Mexico. After her graduated, he started…

including music, and word processing. Ms. Lovelace (1815-1852) was a gifted computer programmer and mathematician that was considered to have written instructions for the first computer program in the mid-1800’s (Biography.com, 2017). Grace Hopper (1906-1992) worked with Howard Aiken in developing the Mark I computer at Harvard. She observed that providing the computer an instruction set, that would teach the computer what to do, was a critical aspect of computing. Herself, and a team of women…

While I come from an agriculturally-focused family, my interests as a young boy were divided between aviation and computers. At the age of 13, I began to focus more on my digital hobbies after a neighbor offered to assist me in learning the art of programming. During the next few years, he mentored me in software development using primarily C# with the .NET Framework. In that time, I created a collection of small personal applications and games as I experimented with code and concepts. At age 17…

In college, I would like to major in computer science and mathematics or computer science and engineering. This summer academy for Math & Science would help me tremendously because it would it give me a taste of the field I would like to major. It will allow me to experience studying in the computer science field and could help me decide where in the computer science field I would like to work or focus a bit more on. Also, this summer academy would help me achieve my goals in trying to do…
