technical skills to create their own computer applications. Furthermore, there continues to be a deficit of industrial technology, or IT, because students are not being exposed to computer science at school (Sterling). Putting an emphasis on teaching programming classes, aims at the lack of this skill set in the workforce. “…As career paths go, it 's one of the most productive for high-growth, high-paying job” (Busteed). Jobs in the computer science field are expanding rapidly, and nearly all of…
The field of computer science is one that is constantly growing. Technology has been deemed an inevitable part of our future and if more students do not go into this field then there will be no way for technology to advance. “There will be 1 million more computing jobs than students over the next 10 years” (Blurbs and Useful Stats). The number of jobs in this field will only go up, because the demand for new technology in all other fields will only increase as time goes on. Even though the…
Justin (name is changed for the student’s protection) is a ninth grader enrolled in all inclusion classes. He is diagnosed with dyslexia and relies on the help of the special education teacher in the classroom. In classes where he is totally mainstreamed, Justin has only himself and the help of the general education teacher to complete his work. He does not have the ability to independently read the material required in the academic classes. Justin also has difficulty with note taking and…
The Secret Of A Successful Job There is one of the most important ways to make your job better, and doing a special work. The way to do a successful job is to love what you do. Successful people love what they work on. For example: Steve Jobs is one of powerful people, he always says, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do”. In my own experience, I studied Computer Science for two years at University of Kuwait. Then, I worked at a petroleum company called KJO, which is one…
Computational Thinking Skills: Computational thinking is a way of solving problems, designing systems and understanding human behaviour that draws on concepts fundamentals to computer science. Computational thinking must be a fundament part of the way people think and understand the world. Computational thinking is also creating and making use of different levels of abstraction as well as being able to understand problems and solve them more effectively. Decomposition: Decomposition is one of…
Currently, IT industry is going through a revolutionizing change. Competing market emphasizes us more on first time right delivery and zero delayed delivery. Also, the industry has changed a lot the way it operates or the technology it adapts. Now the question put forth is can the technology or the mode of operations help us to achieve the two goals stated above? Earlier people used to pedal a bicycle to reach their destination. At that point of time the problem was to reach a place with…
To begin, software engineers are involved with creating and designing software. What they do is code and program a computer or application to get the desired solution the the problem. However, being an engineer, software engineers create more algorithms and solve more technical problems, than they do code. As I start my career, I imagine that I will be beginning at the entry level, or a “Junior Software Engineer”. They are the same things, however within this certain career, there are titles…
Presenting Needs and Initial Intake: Our holistic work with community members begins with our Direct Service Network. Upon arrival at the Panacea Institute for Equality in Education, families are greeted with a “pre-screen” process to determine their presenting need. At this initial entry point, education challenges supersede all other family challenges. The support staff responsible for the prescreening process will determine the severity of the educational challenge and will determine how…
demanding grading procedures. I stood amongst the top 10 in my class. Though my major had opened up a wide variety of courses,I was aware of the fact that the world today runs on computers and thus programming knowhow is a requisite, I completed courses which have made me proficient in the eonian programming languages like C and C++. Besides my academic pursuits, I participated in extra-curricular activities with great…
I enjoyed learning the basics of programming, which gave me insight on how a computer operates. I performed well in this class, but at the same time, I was taking a physics class, a calculus course, and other general studies courses. This was really my first rigorous semester, and I was struggling…
