COS 200 - CS as a Profession

This course introduces students to professional development for computer science students. We will cover the writing of resumes and applying for professional summer internships. We will also cover what a career in CS might be beyond just programming computers. We will visit a CS research lab and discuss emerging technologies such as machine learning and what it will mean to a CS graduate. Finally, we will spend some time reviewing the BS-CS and BA-CS undergraduate curriculum and help students to plan their enrollment meetings with their academic advisors.
