Coursera’s Post

I have just switched my major to B.S Computer science from B.B.A Computer information systems

Addressing society's greatest challenges requires the ability to think critically, use and understand data, and leverage the power of computing. Griffin Catalyst’s partners are working to expand access to the educational opportunities students need to solve problems in the 21st century. Learn more about the work Data Science 4 Everyone, CS Education for All, and The College Board's AP Computer Science program are leading to empower the next generation of problem-solvers: https://lnkd.in/eXfRV-bK

DataScience@SMU’s curriculum draws from SMU Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences, Lyle School of Engineering and Meadows School of the Arts. Classes focus on statistics while building and expanding upon computer science and data visualization skills. As students progress, they have the opportunity to choose a specialization with a customized curriculum that closely aligns with their goals. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3sVVvhE

With a solid foundation in Computer Science and Mathematics, I embarked on a dynamic journey in the tech world

🥳 First course into Sololearn and enjoying coming back to subjects I studied in Computer Science, after spending the first parts of my career focusing more on business applications of IT

Finally graduated with my BS in Computer Science!

Finally completed step 1! On to step 2 for my AS in Data Science.

Thank you Alfred Spector for advocating a balanced approach to teaching CS in the 21st century. Simple technical competence is no longer sufficient. Future graduates will need a strong foundation of integrity and a broad knowledge of the humanities. This more balanced set of skills will separate future engineers into 1) those that just build because they can solve a technical problem, versus 2) those that build to benefit humanity. Unless we make this change now, and with some urgency, we will inevitably create a future where a CS degree will be viewed with suspicion instead of admiration. https://lnkd.in/g2kD-5aH

During the spring 2024 semester at Georgia Institute of Technology, I worked harder than I've had to work in a while. That's why I'm especially proud to say that it paid off, and I earned a 4.0 semester while taking courses that build the foundations for the kind of data science and analytics work that I want to pursue after graduation. Thanks to my professors, support system, and teammates for helping me make it happen! Foundations of Modern Data Science (ISYE 4803), Computing for Data Analysis (CX 4240), Decision and Data Analytics (ISYE 4034), Simulation Analysis and Design (ISYE 3044), and Science of Physical Activity and Health (APPH 1050) https://lnkd.in/dXdZEW-C
