Computer+Science+Careers+(Trevor+Jewkes)

An ILM of different forms of careers could help spark the interest of computer science to people. It could include Software Engineer, Systems Analyst and Applications Programmer. With each of those it could include a basic summary of the job, what's required and, if possible, an interview with someone who is currently in that field. Some things to include in the summary would be the salary, common work hours and what is done daily/weekly for each career.

1. Introduction: Basic summary of the field of computer science. 2. Summary of Software Engineer with short Q&A 3. Summary of System Analyst with short Q&A 4. Summary of Applications Programmer with short Q&A

(summaries should be basic and relatively short)

The careers that are included here are only for example purposes and can be added to or taken away from. It would be good to show people all the things that a degree in Computer Science can do and that can help the Computer Science Department.

Vicki: I think this has interesting possibilities. Could it be a game where they answer the following questions: 1. How many CS jobs exist in the US (compared with US jobs that are shipped over seas)? 2. What percent of time do people actually spend programming 3. What skills are important for succeeding? 4. How much does a CS person make? We would need to make it easy for the instructor to update the answers.
