Course Description

Everyone in Purdue can learn the main ideas in Computer Science.

Students meet for a one (1) hour seminar every week for one semester where main ideas of CS will be presented. Lectures will be supplemented with a laboratory that can teach some tools or demonstrate CS principles. Topics includes: Programming, computer architecture, security, networking, databases, Mobile computing, big data, cloud computing, data mining, etc. We can include more topics that are of interest.

Faculty member will give a seminar appropriate for a non CS student.

Outside speakers ( distinguished speakers/ colloquia speakers to CS/ ECE department) will be invited who can present their very best ideas and inspire. Students will submit a report (5-7 pages summarizing the ideas from lectures on a topic of their interest) and present them in class for credit.

 

I invite all students in other departments of Science, all colleges in Purdue to come and learn technology developments. Public is invited to attend or audit the course.
