Tech Connect 2024

A world exists outside of Rowan University! As society presses onwards, computer scientists are constantly and consistently needed—but companies today are more selective than ever. Students entering the workforce need all the help they can get. Knowledge and skill has become just one part of a candidate, with the candidate’s connections being equally important. Having a large social network of hired programmers at different companies increases your chance of getting your foot in the door through word of mouth. If you know an employee at your place of interview, they can move your resume at the top of the pile. But the first stop in making connections—casual conversation with an industry professional—is daunting. That’s where last week’s Tech Connect came in—an event designed to quickstart connections.

Rowan Students Recreate Robinson in VR

A programmer doesn't always have to be a lone figure in a cave, hunched over and digging through lines of code all day. The variety computer science offers is just as wide as its theory is deep. Computer science can take you anywhere, including the great outdoors. Masters students Anthony Marinelli and Mary Moor experience just that with their senior project—recreating Rowan in virtual reality!

Rowan Student Places in International Graphics Competition

The computer science field is extremely varied, with multiple outlets for creativity, such as computer graphics. Computer graphics is up and on the rise here at Robinson, with the addition of the new AR/VR lab, new graphics classes, and ACM’S newest committee– Graphics. This new graphical spark coursing through the CS department attracted Anush Aryal, a (YEAR) graphic designer and current co-committee head of the ACM Graphics committee. With the new support and tools, Aryal was able to dive deeper into the artform—and that passion won him an honorable mention at the 39th annual SIGGRAPH Education Space Time Student Competition & Exhibition—an international graphics contest!
