there were Penn State alumni on my very team. When I decided that I was looking to pursue a master’s in Cybersecurity, I took the advice of my coworkers and looked into Penn State’s programs. I was not surprised at all to find that the Information Sciences –Cybersecurity and Information Assurance program is considered one of the best in the country. Not only is the program acknowledged as one of the finest, but Penn State World Campus is recognized as one of the leaders of distance education…

There is one course, CMSC435: Software Engineering, which covers several of the more important parts of what is expected, however it is an elective (a small one, with only one section), and thus will not be taken by the majority of graduating Computer Science students. This is quite concerning, as working in a group is not interpreted by the University as a major…

Our world is advancing rapidly with technology that is allowing humankind to stay connected, aid in times of dire need, help the disabled, and provide entertainment among many other uses. Technological innovations and their innovators have made a lasting impact and have reshaped the world as we know it. I was born in the technological era, the “internet generation,” and we are among the first to know web and computing technology since our birth. This technological revolution has fascinated me…

Boarding school was liberating, so much so that I focused almost solely on my computer science passion to the detriment of other subjects. I founded the Programming Club to teach peers to code well beyond the two school computer science (CS) classes offered, resulting in furthering my coding knowledge to prepare for growing classes. Naively, I plotted ideas to become the "next big thing". Needless-to-say my report cards showed one cannot be a genius without studying. Despite having built an…

One of the most important goals for me to do at this university is to graduate in four years with minimal student debt. In order to do that, I need to make sure that I take classes that will help me graduate while at the same time have enough skills to get a good job. The best way to do this is to make a plan to use the resources at their fullest. My plans to succeed are on how to graduate with all of my required courses, how to make use of co-curricular activities to increase my competitiveness…

the end of the semester, I felt that I was still no closer to that moment of clarity, that sudden realization that I knew what I wanted to be; however, I did know that I always enjoyed computers. After talking to my advisor about my…

Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science and engineering of making computer machines able to perform tasks which normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, and translation between languages. AI is the area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage on behaviors that humans consider intelligent. It is the branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines. Artificial intelligence is the simulation of…

realized I was never going to be younger than I was then.” Matthew is sixteen and is a junior at Core Butte High School and is taking an English class at Butte College so that he will not have to take it his senior year and can venture on to more computer classes.…

of interest I chose was gender in computer science, the diffences that are present and what are the current methods or practice available to tip the scale back into a balance. There were to main reason I choose this topic. The first is that computer is my field, I enjoy it and strive to learn every aspect of it. Second reason was that recently in the beginning of the fall semester Google started a new initiative to help women enter into the world of computer science. The initiative Google set in…

better understand computer concepts, and develop a deep interest in doing research. I have gained skills in computer science, which have given me great insight in the field of technology. Furthermore, throughout my journey in the US, I have refined my ability to work independently, and I have acquired communication skills valuable for a graduate school candidate.Therefore, If I am admitted into this program, I assure you to bring a valuable contribution to the computer science community at the…
