6 Things Every Computer Science Major Should Know Before Graduating


Computer scientists are the people who shape the future. They are the ones who solve problems by using technology, make computers do amazing things by writing code and create the apps and webpages we use every day. It’s a field that’s developing at an astonishing rate — particularly due to emerging technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence — and you get to be a part of it as a computer science major.
But it’s also a tough world out there and companies are looking for computer scientists with a unique and versatile set of skills. Employers know they must stay competitive in the marketplace and that name recognition will only go so far. Skilled employees directly help businesses develop new technologies and strengthen existing capabilities.
While you’re probably a computer science major full of individual talent, there are a few things every computer science student should know before they’re out in the working world. Read on to see if you need to check anything off your list. Now is the time to be proactive and address any skill gaps, if they exist.

1. Core Engineering Information

Computer science isn’t necessarily engineering, but it’s a close relative. As a computer scientist, you’ll be working side-by-side with engineers on a regular basis — and it will be necessary to speak a mathematical language they can understand.
To do this, you’ll need to work your way through multiple calculus courses. In addition, physics courses, especially electromagnetism, are a solid support. You’ll likely benefit from taking probability and linear algebra courses, too.
If your academic history doesn’t include as much coverage of those subjects as you’d like, don’t despair. You could supplement your college schedule with online learning by enrolling in free or low-cost courses that help you deal with any knowledge shortages.
On the other hand, if you’ve taken courses involving those topics but still feel you’re not as adept as you could be, investigate the possibility of getting tutoring, possibly from an engineering student on your campus who’s eager to share their knowledge with a computer science major who’s ready to learn more.

2. Writing Proofs

Writing proofs is essential if you want to learn programming. Mastering that skill makes programming flow more naturally.
Take a course in real analysis or algebra — and not the course you took in high school! Proofs require such things as abstract algebra and group theory.
Do you have a friend who’s a whiz in either of those subjects or a similar one? The two of you could engage in proof-writing practice sessions to help you grasp the skill and feel more confident.

3. Necessary Programming Languages

Programming is one of the most basic building blocks of computer science. Without it, all our computers would be toast.
Don’t just learn one programming language, though. The most productive way to learn programming languages is to learn several, as well as the paradigms that accompany them. Some common programming languages you should familiarize yourself with as a computer science major are:
  • Racket
  • C
  • JavaScript
  • Java
  • C++
  • Assembly
Of course, it isn’t enough to just know these languages. You must implement them as well. Use your programming on an interpreter and make sure you take compiling classes, too.
The more you use programming languages in your everyday life, the easier it will be to showcase your skills when it’s time to move into the job market and impress potential employers. Furthermore, learning a number of programming languages makes you more versatile as you move between various companies and roles throughout your career.

In the early stages of your time as a computer science major, your goal was probably merely to earn your degree. And that’s undoubtedly important. However, don’t forget that learning is a lifelong activity, and that’s especially true as the tech sector continues to evolve and new technologies depend on various programming languages to work.

4. Experiment With Fields

Writing all that code sure is fun, but what exactly do you want to do with it? If you’re just starting college and perhaps only decided to become a computer science major recently, you might not have to worry about this yet. But as your college years wind down, it’s wise to start thinking about what field of computer science you’ll want to enter.
As you begin learning about the types of careers you might pursue in the various established fields or those that will exist by the time you graduate, it’ll be easier to eventually focus your career search and potentially showcase your specialization by joining organizations, going to networking events and otherwise making yourself stand out against other job-seekers.
Like most professions, computer science has many subdivisions. You could choose artificial intelligence and robotics. You could design webpages or apps. You could become a software engineer or even concentrate your knowledge in the art of computer graphics. The possibilities are endless!
Choose something that matches your interests — early on in your schooling is probably better. If you know what field you want to go into, you’ll be more productive and focused on your long-term goals.
Consider, too, that getting acquainted with several fields could become more straightforward than you think if you seek out internships that allow you to get engrossed in more than one area of computer science. Taking that approach could let you explore a field you’d not otherwise have thought about entering.

5. Technical Communication

What’s the use of all your programming mumbo-jumbo if the masses don’t understand it? That’s where technical communication comes in handy. It specializes in the clear communication of complex information to people who aren’t in your field.
You’ll implement techniques such as persuasion and organization so anyone can understand computer science. This is critical in situations such as oral presentations in company meetings. After all, if you can’t illustrate your ideas to your management, they’ll find someone who can.
Plus, being able to strip down complex technical concepts to people who think differently is advantageous if you’re pitching an idea to a team of executives or trying to emphasize why your ideas have genuine market value.

6. Microeconomics

Computer science is largely about business, and microeconomics is the foundation for every business theory that’s important.
Supply and demand, competitive advantage, NPVs — these are necessary to know if you want to understand business. A computer scientist who understands the fundamentals of business is worth more to a company than one who doesn’t. You may have an amazing idea in your programming, but it would never fly in our capitalist society. So by taking microeconomics, you’re more likely to excel in your field.
Numerous things — ranging from user-friendliness to the capabilities of the associated marketing team — help determine the possible success of projects you might be involved with after you finish your time on a college campus as a computer science major. Having a solid understanding of microeconomics should help you understand the crucial differences between a project that thrives and one that falters, thereby affecting your earning potential, candidacy for promotions and more.
You may think you’re a computer science hotshot, but you should make sure you know these basics before you catapult yourself into the real world. Once you know them, you’ll be on your way to a successful computer science career.

Human Brain: Facts, Functions & Anatomy



The human brain is the command center for the human nervous system. It receives signals from the body's sensory organs and outputs information to the muscles. The human brain has the same basic structure as other mammal brains but is larger in relation to body size than any other brains.

Facts about the human brain

    The human brain is the largest brain of all vertebrates relative to body size.
    It weighs about 3.3 lbs. (1.5 kilograms).
    The average male has a brain volume of 1,274 cubic centimeters (cm3).
    The average female brain has a volume of 1,131 cm3.
    The brain makes up about 2 percent of a human's body weight.
    The cerebrum makes up 85 percent of the brain's weight.
    It contains about 86 billion nerve cells (neurons) — the "gray matter."
    It contains billions of nerve fibers (axons and dendrites) — the "white matter."
    These neurons are connected by trillions of connections, or synapses.

Anatomy of the human brain

The largest part of the human brain is the cerebrum, which is divided into two hemispheres, according to the Mayfield Clinic. Underneath lies the brainstem, and behind that sits the cerebellum. The outermost layer of the cerebrum is the cerebral cortex, which consists of four lobes: the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital. [Related: Nervous System: Facts, Functions & Diseases]

Like all vertebrate brains, the human brain develops from three sections known as the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. Each of these contains fluid-filled cavities called ventricles. The forebrain develops into the cerebrum and underlying structures; the midbrain becomes part of the brainstem; and the hindbrain gives rise to regions of the brainstem and the cerebellum.

The cerebral cortex is greatly enlarged in human brains and is considered the seat of complex thought. Visual processing takes place in the occipital lobe, near the back of the skull. The temporal lobe processes sound and language, and includes the hippocampus and amygdala, which play roles in memory and emotion, respectively. The parietal lobe integrates input from different senses and is important for spatial orientation and navigation.

The brainstem connects to the spinal cord and consists of the medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain. The primary functions of the brainstem include relaying information between the brain and the body; supplying some of the cranial nerves to the face and head; and performing critical functions in controlling the heart, breathing and consciousness.

Between the cerebrum and brainstem lie the thalamus and hypothalamus. The thalamus relays sensory and motor signals to the cortex and is involved in regulating consciousness, sleep and alertness. The hypothalamus connects the nervous system to the endocrine system — where hormones are produced — via the pituitary gland.

The cerebellum lies beneath the cerebrum and has important functions in motor control. It plays a role in coordination and balance and may also have some cognitive functions.
Humans vs. other animals

Overall brain size doesn't correlate with level of intelligence. For instance, the brain of a sperm whale is more than five times heavier than the human brain but humans are considered to be of higher intelligence than sperm whales.  The more accurate measure of how intelligent an animal may be is the ratio between the size of the brain and the body size, according to the University of California San Diego's Temporal Dynamics of Learning Center.

Among humans, however, brain size doesn't indicate how smart someone is. Some geniuses in their field have smaller- than-average brains, while others larger than average, according to Christof Koch, a neuroscientist and president of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle. For example, compare the brains of two highly acclaimed writers. The Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev's brain was found to be 2,021 grams, while writer Anatole France's brain weighed only 1,017 grams.

Humans have a very high brain-weight-to-body-weight ratio, but so do other animals. The reason why the human's intelligence, in part, is neurons and folds. Humans have more neurons per unit volume than other animals, and the only way to do that with the brain's layered structure is to make folds in the outer layer, or cortex, said Eric Holland, a neurosurgeon and cancer biologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington.

"The more complicated a brain gets, the more gyri and sulci, or wiggly hills and valleys, it has," Holland told Live Science. Other intelligent animals, such as monkeys and dolphins, also have these folds in their cortex, whereas mice have smooth brains, he said.

Humans also have the largest frontal lobes of any animal, Holland said. The frontal lobes are associated with higher-level functions such as self-control, planning, logic and abstract thought — basically, "the things that make us particularly human," he said.
Left brain vs. right brain

The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right, connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. The hemispheres are strongly, though not entirely, symmetrical. The left brain controls all the muscles on the right-hand side of the body and the right brain controls the left side. One hemisphere may be slightly dominant, as with left- or right-handedness.

The popular notions about "left brain" and "right brain" qualities are generalizations that are not well supported by evidence. Still, there are some important differences between these areas. The left brain contains regions involved in speech and language (called the Broca's area and Wernicke's area, respectively) and is also associated with mathematical calculation and fact retrieval, Holland said. The right brain plays a role in visual and auditory processing, spatial skills and artistic ability — more instinctive or creative things, Holland said — though these functions involve both hemispheres. "Everyone uses both halves all the time," he said.
BRAIN Initiative

In April 2013, President Barack Obama announced a scientific grand challenge known as the BRAIN Initiative, short for Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies. The $100-million-plus effort aimed to develop new technologies that will produce a dynamic picture of the human brain, from the level of individual cells to complex circuits.

Like other major science efforts such as the Human Genome Project, although it's expensive, it's usually worth the investment, Holland said. Scientists hope the increased understanding will lead to new ways to treat, cure and prevent brain disorders.

The project contains members from several government agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), as well as private research organizations, including the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

In March 2013, the project's backers outlined their goals in the journal Science. In September 2014, the NIH announced $46 million in BRAIN Initiative grants. Members of industry pledged another $30 million to support the effort, and major foundations and universities also agreed to apply more than $240 million of their own research toward BRAIN Initiative goals.

When the project was announced, President Obama convened a commission to evaluate the ethical issues involved in research on the brain. In May 2014, the commission released the first half of its report, calling for ethics to be integrated early and explicitly in neuroscience research. In March 2015, the commission released the second half of the report, which focused on issues of cognitive enhancement, informed consent and using neuroscience in the legal system.

The Brain Initiative has achieved several of its goals. As of 2018, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has "invested more than $559 million in the research of more than 500 scientists," and Congress appropriated "close to $400 million in NIH funding for fiscal year 2018," according to the initiative's website. The research funding facilitated the development of new brain-imaging and brain-mapping tools, and helped create the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network — an effort to catalog the brain's "parts' list." Together, these efforts contribute to major advancements in understanding the brain.
