Software development

I would like to participate in the ITAP program for a variety of reasons. First reason is the skills I will be able to attain from this program. Living in the modern age where technology is ubiquitous it is almost a requirement for one to have at least basic level of skills in using technology. Second reason is the networking capability with the other five schools. Getting to travel and meeting others schools and having the ability to hold conversation with merit about technology and how to…

in radiotherapy failed so badly that they distributed lethal doses of radiation to the patients, thus killing them. Before this, software developers were not a crucial part of the software design timeline. The first language that allowed programs to be written, thus potentially creating the software engineering discipline, was called FORTRAN and was developed in 1957. FORTRAN was not like the languages that are used to program computers now, as it used punch cards. Punch cards were the program,…

I work hard to pay for my education. Every break from school I have worked to bring back money to help fund it. Other than scholarships, I am alone in paying for my school and I am happy to do so because I get to learn about the subjects that I love. Majoring in computer engineering is not only going to help me find a well-paying job, but also, since I care so much about this subject, it will help me maintain a desire to work hard. Last semester I was almost always playing ultimate frisbee for…

Good programmers and writers have a good sense of style. With that being said computer science and literature are very similar. When comparing my current CPSC 240 class (Object Oriented and Design) to my ENGL 206A (Global Issues in Literature) I think about patterns and structure in both classes. In CPSC 240, the purpose of the class is to learn how to work with object-oriented Java code and to learn how to visually design and structure code instead of programming the first thing that comes into…

Five years later I am still working for the same company, and I could not be happier. My role has significantly expanded. Not…
