Most cyber attacks aren’t new. Rather, they are new to the administrators encountering them. “The workforce isn’t well trained in these complex issues,” Jean Mayo explains. “One problem we encounter in education is that we cannot allow students to modify the software that controls an actual system—they can cause real damage.” Our goal is to . . .
When you view a YouTube video, you are viewing tens of gigabytes compressed up to 50 times. The process to transmit what an HD camera captures requires large quantities of frame-by-frame video data transmission—and such is the case in sports broadcasting—it must happen fast. Computational complexity is high because sports coverage is real-time. “We can . . .
The road below has no forks, nor is it fog-covered, but you still can’t predict what lies ahead. Making decisions under uncertainty involves more than being presented with multiple options and choosing the best one. The problem is much more complex because the forks and options are not readily seen. Inevitably, plans go wrong. Plans . . .
For Linda Ott, debugging a program is like solving a mystery. “We don’t tell girls about computing when they’re young, so they don’t see how fun computing can be,” Ott explains. “They hear about biology and chemistry, but computing seems abstract.” And very few middle and high schools have computing courses or instructors. “Girls don’t . . .
Astronomy is a citizen’s science. Its foundation is ordinary people who help answer serious scientific questions by providing vital data to the astronomical community. Nebulas, supernovas, and gamma ray sightings. The availability of smartphones make collecting and sharing scientific data easier, faster, and more accurate. These days former astronomy teacher Robert Pastel isn’t as interested . . .
Redeveloping Michigan Tech’s introductory computer science courses has not been an easy feat. But for Leo Ureel, it’s meaningful work. “It’s about setting the right environment,” he says. Humans learn best when we communicate with others. We’ve taken what we know works in industry and applied it to the classroom. In the old model, instructors . . .
