Students Invited to Microsoft NYC Campus

What’s the best way to spend a weekend? You could take a fun trip, or buckle down and do something productive. This past March, several Rowan CS students volunteered to do both. The Microsoft Corporation invited CS students to their campus in New York City for a personalized tour. Students met with Rowan alumni now working at Microsoft to discuss exciting new technology from the company, and how a career in CS looks post graduation.

Spotlight on New CS Undergraduate Advising Team

College is hard. This isn’t a hot take, but simple fact; College is a huge transition, with a lot of freedom suddenly granted to students. More freedom comes with more consequences, and the swirl of responsibilities and duties now on one’s shoulders is overwhelming. Rowan offers tons of resources to students to help manage that stress, but it can be difficult or intimidating to reach out, especially if you’re unsure what you actually need. That’s where academic advisors come in.

Computer Science Student Worker Spotlight

The student’s hunt for job experience is a common struggle. Experience is vital in the modern market; it can elevate a resume from good to great, giving a potential employee a head start above their competition. The earlier a student can gain work experience, the better prepared (and more marketable) they’ll be post graduation. The Computer Science department offers paid on-campus jobs to students that help provide the experience and skills needed in the job market. Positions include the Computer Science Web Team developers, tutors, learning assistants, and staff for the CS Makerspace and Tech Longue.

Cybersecurity Club Spotlight

Cybersecurity is an exciting new field of study in the world of computer science. This field of study mainly focuses on securing computers and computer networks against cyber attacks. Cybersecurity is extremely important in our modern, computer-centric society, and many people are eager to spread the word about it. Among those spreading the word, few people are more passionate than Rowan University’s Cybersecurity Club.

The Cybersecurity Club is a club that is dedicated to getting more people interested in cybersecurity. The club is spearheaded by Joshua Figueroa (President) and Ian Manahan (Vice President). They want to encourage Rowan students to learn more about this emerging field. More often than not, learning a new subject can be pretty intimidating. Many people are afraid to take that first step into the unknown. Joshua, Ian, and the rest of the club are here to guide students and provide a warm welcome into the world of cybersecurity.

Deep Neural Network Inference at SURP

This past summer, the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) gave Rowan students an opportunity to demonstrate and expand upon their skills through their research projects. These research projects, which were based on a variety of unique topics, were ultimately presented to the public at the SURP Poster Session this past July.

One of the projects that was presented at the SURP Poster Session came from Nicholas Bovee. His project focused on the implementation of deep neural networks in everyday technology, such as cars. Even if you don’t realize it, stuff like machine learning is becoming more and more relevant to people’s daily lives. This means it’s becoming increasingly necessary for this type of technology to improve and become more efficient. This is the task Nicholas decided to take on with his research project.
