Hook, Line & Sinker

long-term interest in computer science.

Digital Preservation - an Introduction
|
Stacy Kowalczyk
Indiana University
|
As more information exists only in digital format, concern about our
ability to keep this information available for future generations is
increasing. Preserving digital information is both a technical and an
organizational problem. This talk will provide a brief overview of
the technical issues.

Women in Computer Science: Opening a New Window on the Debate
|
Jennifer Sader
Bowling Green State University
|
This presentation will address women's underrepresentation in
computer science from the perspective of social constructions -- the
idea that how we define what it means to be a woman and how we define
a discipline like computer science affects our sense of what is
possible and appropriate for us when choosing a career. I will
discuss my ongoing dissertation research project on women graduate
students in computer science and outline my preliminary findings. I
would be very interested to hear if these findings match up with the
experiences of the women attending the session, so I would keep my
presentation brief to allow time for questions and discussion.

5 Internships in 5 Minutes: Interning at NASA for Fun and Profit
|
Shannon Steinfadt
Kent State University
|
After five consecutive internships at NASA Glenn in Cleveland, OH, the
benefits and knowledge gained are still helping me five years after my
last internship.
I hope to emphasizing the power, use, and fun of internships to other
students who should consider interning either as an undergraduate or a
graduate student.

Gender Gap in Computer Programming at the Local Level
|
Emilia Kurek-Bacca
University of Cincinnati
|
I would like to present short, informal report
concerning the interview I conducted on July 5, 2006, with the IT
professional regarding the gender gap in computer programming
My report is going to describe the phenomena of gender disproportion
in computer programming both at the College of Applied Science, and on
the example of couple major companies in the Cincinnati area. For that
reason I decided to interview Mr. Brandan Jones. Experiences of
Mr. Jones both, as a part time teacher of computer programming classes
at the College of Applied Science, and as a programmer working full
time for the major insurance firm, were a valuable resource of
information on my topic.
