My views on Computer Science and Engineering + Why do I want to become a computer science engineer?7/2/2017 Computer Science is something that opens up many possibilities and solutions that can bring change to our world one step at a time. That's what I thought of computer science in general. When I started to code or got 'exposed' to coding, I was about 15 years old, which is actually only a year ago since the day of this blog. I first got exposed to segments of code in an online course my parents enrolled for me. It was a course in Python, and when I started to follow along, I really enjoyed the simplicity of writing lines of code to accomplish a task. Simple. And I liked simple. As I kept on progressing through the course, I remember there would be certain problems that were challenging and hard to create a program for. But, I'll tell you what. I LOVED that idea of a challenge. It helped me plan out in my head what parts I am missing in my program, and what parts I should add to help it function better.
This experience gave me a better understanding of computer science and the idea of SOLVING and UNDERSTANDING problems, and arriving at a SOLUTION. These three words describe the experience of any STEM related career, especially a career in computer science and engineering. I really liked to find solutions to problems via coding. There are many stereotypes to engineering/computer science, one especially being that 'all computer professionals only code'. Engineers are problem solvers, they just USE a certain technology to find solutions to problems. It's not just the idea of coding or writing 1000 lines of code every day. It's about WHAT IMPACT that program will bring to the world. And HOW it's going to do it. That's the main idea. Good luck!
