Computer Science; a program for success

Missouri State University

It seems certain that the presence of computing in our everyday lives will only increase in the coming years.  The need for students well versed in the field is also showing dramatic growth.  In response to that demand, the Computer Science Department at Missouri State is modifying its programs, expecting that the changes will improve the training provided to their students.  This week Dr. Razib Iqbal, an assistant professor in CSC, stops by to tell us about these new directions, the opportunities available to graduates, and the ways his own research helps students become practitioners of the art of computing.

Dr. David Cornelison has been working as an educator and scientist in Arizona and Missouri universities for the last 32 years. From 2010-2018, he was the head of the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Materials Science at Missouri State University. His research interests lie at the intersection of experimental condensed-matter physics and astrophysics, while his educational efforts have focused on outreach to the K-12 school system. Most of all, he believes in curiosity-driven learning in the sciences and all other fields.
