the best virus scanner ever is AVGOLD! It will always tell you you are infected, even when you are not. No need to go looking for it. Chances are, you already have it.

My school actually teaches 3 different classes:

Computer Science (Applied Theory, Programming, etc.)
Software Engineering (Programming, Good Design Principlies, User Interface Design, etc..)
Information Technology (for ppl who wanna be sysadmins)

Three very great programs..

My school? Southern Polytechnic State University. http://cse.spsu.edu/

If this works, small stations like WGHR would have a chance to get back on the air. Yes, I'm plugging my old college radio station that just got forced off the Atlanta airwaves in the past year, due to the lack of spectrum real estate. It was one of the last remaining Class D stations, but due to recent purchases of several new stations in the area by Susquehanna and Clear Channel, there has been no place left to go. But now the internet has become the only home for the station. Please help support them!

At my uni, CompSci focused on programming, mathematics, algorythms, etc, while CompEng was Electrical Engineering with a focus in microcomputer/controller based systems.

Most uni's publish there degree requirements online, so your best bet would be to compare what classes you have to take for a CompSci degree vs. a CompEng degree.

Another big clue would be to determine which classes are prerequisites for the major classes. CompEng has Physics as a prereq while in CompSci Physics was a degree requirement but not a prereq for the major classes. Engineering is more of a 'hard science' than Computer Science (at least at many schools).

Take a look!

... or at least, my fellow almni have.

Our curriculum was very "hands on," which allowed us to actually apply the theoretical classroom knowledge in the lab (and yes, we learned the theory). Higher level courses consist more of project milestones than tests, which mimic the typical development cycle of a new product being constructed and prepped for market (including the boring tech writing stuff).

Our professors must have several years of industry experience before teaching, class sizes remain small, and best of all the professor actually teaches the course and the lab section. The only thing keeping our program from issuing EE degrees instead of EET degrees is a much larger state university down the road that has a football and basketball team (read: has much more political influence in the state).

As this article clearly demonstrates, big schools get most of the attention with a headline like this. Small schools with no sports program trudge along, pumping out very knowledgeable grads, who get funny looks when they mention their school name in a job interview.

Sad, indeed.

I think this is just a matter of DJ's catching up to what current technology has to offer. I laugh every time I hear about this type of story, where a traditional DJ, or even radio station, starts adopting MP3 or some other digital format for their source of music. I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but when I became Chief Engineer, and later General Manager of WGHR in Marietta, the first thing I did was set up a massive file server, and a new computer in the DJ booth. That allowed people to use digital music as a supplement to the supply of CD's and vinyl already in the studio. Since then, almost all of the DJ's have turned to using MP3's, since they're available in one place, and much easier to organize than shelves of CD's. There's still a personal preference available to use the "old" style of spinning tracks, but now it's much easier for the beginners to just throw some tracks into Winamp--something they already know how to do at home.

They're very convenient when the professor decides to utilize them. In a digital design class I'm taking now, where we program in assembly, it's nice for us and for the professor to be able to display and scroll through sample code.

There's a regular white board right next to the SmartBoard, so the professor can write as he pleases while leaving the SmartBoard display alone.

The only bad thing about them is the "overwriting" of the image with the special markers. Anything written is very, very low resolution. About the only thing our professor uses that feature for is to cross out a section of code on the screen.

I'm one of 5 student members on the final Tech Fee committee at my university (SPSU). One of the problems we've run into isn't the lack of good ideas, but the lack of faculty/staff on the lower committees that shoot down some good ideas before we on the upper committee get to vote on them. Granted, I've seen some frivolous proposals for stuff that we really don't need, and I would vote them down in order to get more long-term projects funded that will benefit more students. For example, it took us 2 meetings just to decide whether or not to fund a 3D printer for rapid prototyping in the MET dept. It was a large ticket item, but it would make things so much easier for the students to make a quick prototype instead of the time-consuming milling of a real part.
The biggest ideas that I see coming up this year are requests for wireless access in student common areas, and increased funding for lab staff (so we can keep the brand new labs open longer). Hopefully this year we'll see the students submit more proposals, as the most we commonly see are requests from faculty and staff. (We divide the available funds into thirds, for IT, Academics, and Students--and the students section always comes up short with proposals.)

Geez, I'm going through that right now. I'm starting my last year at SPSU, but also my first year as a resident assistant in the dorms. After checking in all the students, the next thing we face is helping the newbies with getting set up on the network. Many do know what they're doing, but some (like the ladies and some REALLY dumb freshmen) that just like to plug telephone cords into their NIC's. Anyway, aside from them, it's not too difficult, but we only have 400 residents in 2 dorms, and maybe 50-70% with computers. It's not anyone's duty to help, but most of us do it out of the kindness of our heart (or for the affection of one of the ladies, as the case may be for some single RA's here).
Anyway, the only problem I've seen this year is just the arrogant "freshies" as we lovingly call them. They insist on giving bad advice, plugging things in wrong, using the wrong settings and workgroup, etc. Some love to run Win2k Adv Server, and leave the DNS and WINS services on...
