why we're here this has been a different
kind of a semester obviously and it's a
different kind of a summer than we've
ever had before and one of the things
that were really missing is the chance
to bring folks who are interested in
maybe coming to Wright State maybe
taking computer science or Computer
Engineering or cyber security or IT or
something that's in our department as
their majors and bringing them to campus
and talking with them one-on-one and
getting a chance to chat with people and
so we thought this would be kind of an
interesting way to introduce people to
the department and take kind of a
virtual tour a little bit different
because you can't take into the
classrooms and show you the labs but at
the same time you can get a chance to
maybe meet some of your professors see
what they're like and hear a little bit
about some of the course topics and get
a chance to know what computer science
computer engineering and all the fields
that that we offer as majors are all
about so that's kind of the plan one of
the most common questions I get from new
students coming in is you know what what
course should I take I don't know what
there is in computer science I just know
that I'm kind of generally interested in
computer science computer engineering or
something related to it how am I
supposed to pick without having some
exposure what course I should take and
so in this sequence of mini lectures
we're going to try to just give a brief
introduction to a lot of the different
topics that you can take once you go
through the preliminary core courses and
the curriculum opens up and you've got
lots of different choices what classes
can you take and so that's the plan is
to kind of give a brief introduction to
a few of those areas and maybe talk a
little bit about if you're if you're
coming in to college or you know yeah if
you're not already here how to get ready
to succeed in those courses what topics
should you be concentrating on what
should you know if you've got the summer
to brush up on things what might you
want to brush up
