Finding the simple basics of a field with the power to change lives.

In computer science class, students learn how to think in a structured and logical manner. This allows them to break down problems and develop algorithms that consider all scenarios, not just the obvious ones. When we design and write code to do a specific task, students are learning how to anticipate uses and misuses. It forces them to test for cases outside the intended functionality.

‹ Computer Science Teaches Transferrable Skills

The courses that teach these skills are algorithm and software engineering. While most computer science curriculum reinforces theory by using programming languages to implement concepts or investigating computational efficiency, these programming skills are raw. The raw skills are what companies are looking for. But, as the languages change and new technologies are introduced, students will rely more and more on the fundamental concepts that will help them understand the next programming language.

Computer science has the power to change lives by creating simulations. It can replace animal testing, provide modeling for space exploration, create vehicle and safety analysis, and so much more. It has applications in robotics and medical imagery, too.
