Computer Science Department At Princeton University

Additionally, we are investigating how to model artifacts in a GitHub repository. These are evolving projects and we welcome the insights of enthusiastic students interested in research, who have excellent communication skills (written/verbal English) and an ability to work independently and collaboratively. Since 2008 students have documented their research projects on thedepartmental Wiki pages. Please consult the director of honors or the departmental website for specific requirements and application procedures. Our research centres span several departments and reflect how we collaborate with researchers from different subject areas. Please note that, regardless of whether you have a TA position this semester or have been separately promised a TA position for Spring, you must fill out a new application for Fall 2022.

Education

GUI design, which was pioneered by Xerox and was later picked up by Apple and finally by Microsoft , is important because it constitutes what people see and do when they interact with a computing device. The design of appropriate user interfaces for all types of users has evolved into the computer science field known as human-computer interaction . To allow for practical application time, we have increased the duration of Paper 4. Design an app, code with blocks or JavaScript to make it work, then share your app in seconds. View our project gallery — play some of the games or try out some of the apps that students have created.

Teaching

They aim to ensure that you are fully up-to-date with important and useful information about how best to complete your studies. TalkCampus– a peer support service that offers a safe and confidential way to talk about whatever is on your mind at any time of day or night. You will learn how to design devices that compute in real-world settings. You will also learn how to connect them, virtually, to each other and the rest of the world via the internet. Data science is a significant subfield in computer science which has seen rapid growth in recent years as companies and institutions have begun to gather data at scale across many sectors.

Any course which combines several disciplines tends to be compared nationally with courses in just one of those disciplines, and in such cases the Discover Uni comparison may not be an accurate or fair reflection of the reality of either. All students also work on a substantial project demonstrating their computer science skills, writing a 10,000 word dissertation on it. Projects are often connected with current Cambridge research and many utilise cutting-edge technology.

Study Options And Qualifications

If you are a student interested in working on a research project, it is best to speak as soon as possible to the faculty member with whom you wish to work. CSC 250 Foundations of Computer Science concerns the mathematical theory of computing including languages and corresponding automata. Map abstract computation to specific physical and software implementations, as well as draw appropriate conclusions about real systems, including efficient resource management, communication between parts, and practical constraints. Artistic applications of computing are a growing initiative in the department. In recent years we have added new minors in digital arts and digital music. Visiting faculty and active interdisciplinary ties with related departments make this an exciting and vibrant area.

The 300-level course could be replaced by a UMass graduate course in Computer Science. Reason critically about the broader implications and consequences of the design and use of computational methods. The department's presentation of the major will take place on April 16, 2021 at 3 pm on zoom. Discussing options with specialist advisers helps to clarify plans through exploring options and refining skills of job-hunting. In most of our programmes there is direct input by Career Development Advisers into the curriculum or through specially arranged workshops.

What Our Students Think

It is not uncommon for thesis work to lead to a published paper, and in any case it gives the student a leg up on graduate school applications. Three liaisons attend department faculty meetings and run monthly social gatherings, such as movie night and game night. A student-led club organizes career-oriented training and offers community outreach via a local chapter ofGirls Who Code. Many students work as teaching assistants, running help sessions, grading and aiding students during teaching labs.
