School of Interactive Computing. Story. Computing is important for more than just those who choose to major in computing.. Computing is key to innovation for far more than our majors.. Part 1: The History of Teaching Computing to “All”. Lecture 1. Way back when . . .. “The name ‘software engineering’ was proposed in 1969 at a NATO conference to discuss software development problems – large software systems were late, did not deliver the functionality needed by their users, cost more than expected, and were unreliable.”. STEM Council Meeting. July 20, 2016. STEM Advisory Council’s Priorities:. Expand Work-Based Learning Programs. Develop and expand STEM Early College Career Pathways. Broaden and Deepen Computer Science & Engineering Initiatives. CS A101. What is Computer Science?. First, some misconceptions.. Misconception 1. : I can put together my own PC, am good with Windows, and can surf the net with ease, so I know CS. . Misconception 2. How to Begin and Sustain Programs. Presented by Fran Brady. Leyden High Schools Director of Careers. Brief History. College Board added course in 1983 – 1984. Pascal (structured language). Early 90s introduced C ++ (object-oriented language). Sonoma State University. What type of person becomes a Computer Scientist?. People who are:. Creative. Problem solvers. Curious. What do. . Computer Science students study at. Sonoma State University ?. Phill Conrad. CS Dept. Faculty Advisor. Benji Dunson. CS Dept. Staff Advisor. Amr El Abbadi. CS Dept. Chair. pre-major/interest meeting. Spring 2010. The job outlook?. What some fastest-growing jobs pay. Codecraft Computer Programming. SECME Regional Competition. Why? JOBS!. Computing makes up 2/3 of projected new jobs in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).. Computing occupations are among the highest-paying jobs for new graduates. Yet fewer than 3% of college students graduate with a degree in computer science, and only 8% of STEM graduates are in computer science.. Pilot Program – So Far. Presenters. Kevin Clevenger.

Computer Science and Robotics teacher at Glen Ridge HS. 1. . Question & Research Task. Workers with computer science skills are in high demand by employers, and not just for high-tech jobs like computer programmers and software engineers. Nearly 2/3 of jobs where computer science skills are valued are not in the technology industry. Unfortunately, it is estimated that by 2020 there will be a “skills gap” of one million workers who do not have the computer science skills needed for today’ jobs. .
