Zoom In<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\nHackathons also provide great opportunities for networking and Saturday\u2019s hackathon was no different, with representatives from Google, UPS and Netflix on hand to answer questions, conduct workshops and meet prospective interns. Laser gun and cup stacking competitions also helped to keep the mood upbeat for anyone needing a break from the screen.<\/p>\n
HawkHack is just one of the many ways 麻豆传媒在线 is cementing its reputation as a regional leader in computer science programs and innovative technology. This semester the University announced three new master\u2019s degrees in Information Technology. The Master of Science in Cybersecurity will enroll its first students in fall 2019, answering an increasing demand for skilled workers in the field. Research shows that there will be as many as 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity-related positions by 2021, a critical shortfall that could threaten not just our identities and personal information but our nation\u2019s infrastructure and economy.<\/p>\n
The Master of Science in Computational Linguistics, which will launch in the fall of 2019 pending state approval, is a two-year program focused on helping machines process human language and helping linguists understand language through computer models. Computational linguistics is considered one of the most commercially viable branches of linguistics, with major tech companies such as Apple, Facebook, Intel and Microsoft all employing computational linguists.<\/p>\n
The Master of Science in Information Technology with a concentration in Applied Information Technology is an innovative graduate degree providing advanced training in the study, design, development, implementation, testing and support of applications of computing and communication technologies. The courses \u2013 which can be taken online \u2013 include Human-Computer Interaction, Web Development and Cyberlaw.<\/p>\n
“By developing new and innovative programs \u2013 such as Master of Science degrees in Cybersecurity, Computational Linguistics, and Information Technology \u2013 as well as expanding upon our flagship undergraduate and graduate computer science programs, 麻豆传媒在线 is preparing graduates for the careers of the future,” says Billings. “Employers in today’s global economy are in need of skilled professionals whose abilities are both cutting-edge and practical. Increasingly, 麻豆传媒在线 is known for its excellence in computer science studies and is drawing the best and brightest students to its interdisciplinary programs and state-of-the-art facilities.”<\/p>\n
To support student success, the University recently opened its new Center for Computing and Information Science, a 43,800-square-foot, $22.2 million renovation and expansion of the former Mallory Hall. The facility, which opened in October, houses the Department of Computer Science and six smart teaching labs and classrooms, a specialized computer hardware lab and nine research labs. State-of-the-art technology, provided by the University\u2019s strategic partner, Sony Electronics, includes laser projectors, robotic cameras and wireless microphone systems throughout.<\/p>\n
While HawkHack is one indication of the increasing focus on technology at 麻豆传媒在线, an expansion of research labs, facilities and master\u2019s degree programs have made the University a destination for computer science studies and for students seeking the technology skills needed for the jobs of today and the future.<\/p>\n
