2.1 STEM and Computer science STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics but the meaning is not completely clear. There is the common misconception that the “T” (for technology) means computing, thereby distorting the intended meaning of the STEM acronym (M. Sanders, 2009). STEM is often mentioned in the contexts of natural sciences and mathematics, much less in the contexts of engineering and technology. Although the STEM acronym by itself was initially coined to highlight
As a computer scientist, there’s nothing that annoys me more than when my friends ask me for help setting up their wireless internet, or when my mom calls and asks why her laptop keeps freezing. I try to tell them that I’m not studying computer repairs or computer usage, I’m studying computer science. But that doesn’t help, because nobody seems to know exactly what the term “computer science” means. When I urge my friends to take a computer science course, they shrug me off with comments like “I’m
My interest in the Computer Science major at Carnegie Mellon was first piqued while I was in the Microsoft Student Partners Program, where I met a Technical Evangelist from Microsoft who graduated from the course. I had heard from him how the nation’s best graduates of Computer Science were often recruited from Carnegie Mellon. Naturally, this keen interest sparked off by my encounter with him did not just stop there as I am now sitting at my desk writing my CMU supplementary essays. As someone
this started the exploratory journey to learn more about the various aspects about web technology and programming. My parents bought me a Java book and I was quickly able to write basic code, which then led to me learning much more in the AP Computer Science class. This interest in technology made me do well in my classes, since they were all mostly themed on IT. My interests are varied. I am extremely interested in Software
Quinn Hill Mrs. Rodger AP Computer Science 23 May 2016 General History of Computers In today’s society we are surrounded and immersed in technology at every corner. Often, we don’t take time to think about how these extraordinary machines came to be. Computers these days are so technologically advanced that information can be accessed at the snap of your fingers. This was not always the case though, computers of the past have come a long way over the last hundred years or so. In 1880 the population
If you would like to prepare for this job in high school it is best to take computer courses ( if possible) also you must have very good grades in math, science, and English. A bachelor's degree in computer science is necessary for an entry-level research job, a bachelor's degree in computer science takes at least four years to complete. It is possible to get the job with a related degree such as computer engineering. In order to take on more advanced positions, you will need a masters degree.It
I have become interested in the computer science when I took my first computer science course in my first semester at Syracuse University. It was my first time to use the programming knowledge l learned to implement a dice gambling game as course final project. Although I had spent more than two weeks on implementing this game and resolving bugs in the program, I enjoyed this debugging process because the sense of achievement I gained through assiduous work from this project was the best feeling
Computer Science personal statement When a friend asked me: "Why do you like computer science?" I found myself unable to give an answer. However, from that moment on, I tried to understand what makes computer science so attractive for me. My passion for computers started in the 9th grade, in 2008, when I started studying it as part of the introduction to computer curriculum in my high school. This seems like interesting because there was no computer in our elementary school in Bingol, the Kurdish
Drawing inspiration from the above quote and the passion I have for Computer Science, I am currently pursuing my Bachelors in Engineering in Computer Science domain from Stanley College of Engineering and Technology for Women. With strong fundamentals in computer science concepts such as Database Management Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Information Security, Computer Networks and Compiler Construction, and in programming languages such as C, C++ and JAVA, I have made the most of my passion to
today’s society, computers and other forms of technology are becoming a huge part of culture and daily life. Children of young ages to adults are learning how to use them. Whether one plays games on their ipad, types notes for school, or researches information for their job, people are constantly using technology. Computer Science is the study of computers and all of their aspects. It includes mathematical activities and studies of different systems. Some may think Computer Science only includes building
The world of computer science is constantly evolving. What was ingenious and unheard of last year becomes obsolete the next. Each new innovation is the building block for a new technological advance. And with each new breakthrough comes an entirely new set of problems that need solutions. There can never be enough programmers, analysts, and engineers because there will never be an end to computer science. The never-ending development of the field will always be able to generate new jobs since it
for the field of analytics and computing, right from high school years through university and into my working career. My passion towards computers started with my introduction to the computer programming language BASIC in grade 6th where I created simple routines to understand programming. In high school I took my interest forward and elected for computer science as one of my primary subjects. At the time Object Oriented and high level programming languages were at the peak of their prominence in
everyone to know how to use technology because it is becoming such a necessity in our lives. Computer science is a huge asset in the world today and becoming one in our education system. Right now, it is just an elective in our schools, but there is debate about whether to add it as another subject in Georgia schools’ curriculum. According to gadoe.org, all Georgia students need access to computer science courses because it provides foundational learning benefiting

Hey, Computer Sciences Stop Hating On The Humanities is a magazine article written by Emma Pierson (2017) for employers seeking programmers and universities with computer science programs. In which, Pierson explains the consequences of ignoring the teachings of the humanities in universities. However, based on the emphasis Pierson places on the ‘‘worrisome” thoughts and “difficult dilemma” on “ algorithms” in paragraphs three and fours and in conjunction with McLuhan’s philosophy of facing the anxiety
The main point of this approach is that you have to make that decision which comes with the most utility. The utility in this approach can be described as „The good”, and the opposite of this is „the bad”. This means that in Computer Science you have to produce a computer programme or a hardware, which produces the largest amount of good , and during the producing phase, it makes the least amount of bad, for all who are affected: customers, employees, and even the enviroment. With the utilitarian
Did you know that in 2016, about 23% of test takers scored a 1 out of 5 on the AP Computer Science exam? Because, coincidentally, my first grade of the year in APCS was also a 23%. Last year, I decided to take AP Computer Science. I didn’t have much experience, but I liked the idea of coding. Over-confident, I thought that the class might be a bit challenging, but as long as I studied a little I would easily get an A. Turns out, it was a lot harder than I expected. The test that I got a 23% on
