Computer Science Curriculum Development
by Simon Mbuthia 04 Mar '11

Hello techies, I have been invited by my Alma Mater for a brainstorming session with a view to improve their Computer Science degree program. I thought it would be a good thing to first of all hear from employers and supervisors of Computer Science degree holders what they think most graduates lack that would be worth considering when coming up with a computer science degree program. Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Muchas gracias, Me.

I agree with almost everyone but that one for Peter...enyewe I am also a Computer Science graduate and I have no idea how to install Centos and that other software he talked about But I digress... Most of what we were taught or rather learnt in university has no real-life application, or rather, I can't relate how Compiler Theory and Discrete Math apply in an IT support job Maybe if I would have interacted with systems more or been encouraged to solve problems that don't involve definitions of terms and other such stuff, I'd have been more prepared to think on my feet and problem-solve As it is, it's taken me a year to fully grasp that solving problems involves troubleshooting and trial-and-error instead of being paralysed with fear that I'll crash the server if I enter one wrong command.

Hi Guys This is sort of a stupid question but can a wireless print server work with an AP i.e. a situation where the Wireless print server connects to the AP in a purely wireless fashion? Is there anyone who has configured this in the forum? Your thoughts will be appreciated. Jack
