¶ … rubbed my eyes and stared at the codes emblazoned across the computer screen. My fellow students involved in the Cooper Union Summer STEM program looked frantic and tired. We needed to make sure the videogame controller was operational.
I typed a few lines of code. With shaking fingers, I clicked the upload button at the top right of the screen. I rearranged a few wires on the board to match my code. Success! One major wall had been broken down but we had to move onto the next challenge, not bask in the warm sunlight of pride and relief. Engineering is fundamentally a practical profession that seeks to convert ideas into reality. Not only would Carnegie Mellon provide me with expert knowledge, it would also offer the necessary hands-on experience to make myself useful to a future employer.
Although I mostly studied electrical and computer engineering at Cooper Union, I was also able to explore the business aspects of the field. This led me to choose my future career path, that of electrical and computer engineering but with an entrepreneurial focus.
Teamwork, perseverance, problem-solving, and pride in a job well done are all words that characterize what engineering means to me. My experiences with engineering have taken me on a series of emotional rollercoasters, from a sinking sense of failure to the joyful giddiness of success.
Carnegie Mellon places a strong emphasis on teamwork. It takes more than one person to bring even the grandest idea to fruition in the real world. Two minds are greater than one, especially in the field of engineering. Carnegie Mellon also fosters interpersonal skills as well as technical knowledge in its students through its program structure, since both are critical to future success.
On my campus tour, my eye was immediately drawn to Carnegie Mellon's Build18. Here students have the space to experiment and bring their own ideas to fruition. This willingness to empower students to take risks is at the heart of Carnegie Mellon's essential spirit. I am already excited to think about the process of submitting a project proposal, building a team, trying out new ideas and then finally presenting my work. It will enable me…
it's the same with a Wi-Fi network, where the higher the frequency and the more data is communicated via the wave, the more the actual performance of the RF plane changes. And just like an RF plane that can take in very high frequencies of waves while others will bounce off the device or begin to have properties like light waves (meaning they refract and reverberate) the same holds
As with other information technology jobs, outsourcing of software development to other countries may temper somewhat employment growth of computer software engineers. Firms may look to cut costs by shifting operations to foreign countries with lower prevailing wages and highly educated workers. Jobs in software engineering are less prone to being off shored than are jobs in other computer specialties, however, because software engineering requires innovation and intense research
Computer Security Information In the 21st century, information is the key to almost every organization's success. Data is the lifeblood of business -- the information one uses to be competitive and the information that spells success or failure in the marketplace. Data is so important that an entirely new security focus has arisen -- Computer Information Security. In an era in which we must choose which issues for focus, the issue

Unlike Linux, Windows can only run in GUI mode, which requires more system resources for running complicated and exacting applications, including networking functions. From the other side most of software applications, which are designed nowadays, are Windows oriented and they do not work even under WINE (windows interpreter for Linux), which limits options of Linux. Integrated security features in Linux are more powerful than in most of Windows versions,
Personal Statement My major is in Computer Information. As a senior level student, I look forward to graduating and taking my skills to the next level -- both in the workplace and in the academic world. However, in order to obtain my goals, I require financial assistance from my university. In the hopes that my successes thus far will show that I will put this assistance to good use, allow me
