  • CSA helps apply to real world problems

What is the biggest challenge you’ve encountered with computer science?

  • having many errors
  • googling can help get over errors
  • clashing egos
  • focusing on your own path because others will make you feel bad for your self
  • transition from highschool comp sci to college compsci is hard because theory comes into play
  • syntax errors are very annoying
  • google can help you with many syntax problems
  • temptation to BS many projects
  • making sure you do not cut corners and make sure everything you do is like a checkbox for points
  • having a mindset to go above and beyond can help you
  • Getting started in a new area of computer science.
  • Computer science is very inter-connected

Are there any PBL scenarios in college computer science classes (project based learning)

  • There will not be many hands on experience in college
  • make the most of your time while you have it
  • Mix of both: PBL and Tests.
  • PBL will be in college but not everyone does sprints

How have you applied CS in your major if you are not majoring in CS?

  • Converting input
  • Coding will be everywhere
  • Many calculations
  • Stress tests
  • 3D printing
  • Computer science can help with higher level math courses
  • Stats courses
  • Will be coding in stats

For existing college students, have you had a job with school or professor?

  • Tutoring
  • For coding jobs
  • Being above and beyond
  • Intern at Northrop Grumman
  • Robotics coaches also a teacher at UCSD
  • Triton AI
  • Code Ninjas
  • LG Intern (APIS Web Development)

  • Insights

  • Using this information that I have learned from the seminar, I now understand what I can do with my computer science knowledge in class and implement it to my daily life.
