Kwabena Boahen is using the human brain as the blueprint for designing radically more powerful and energy-efficient computers. In this short demo, Boahen describes how his Brains in Silicon lab at Stanford University has created computer chips with “synapses” and “neurons” — and how these chips might revolutionize computing.

On September 22, 2009, Carnegie Mellon University officially dedicated the Gates Center for Computer Science and Hillman Center for Future Generation Technologies. Computer science undergraduate and graduate students share what the new centers will mean for their experience at Carnegie Mellon and the future of computer science.
Recursion can be a useful tool, if you understand how it works. Expect recursive techniques to use more memory and execution time than comparable sequential/iterative techniques. Watch your depth!
This Computer Science program is a follow-on to the Applications Developer certificate. The students education is expanded to prepare for entry in various careers in the Information Technology industry. Job titles include: Client-Server Application Developer/Programmer; Software Tester; Systems Analyst; Database Developer/Administrator; Network Administrator/Specialist; Internet Applications Developer/ Webmaster, IT Project Manager. Students design, develop and test client-server applications with emphasis placed on Microsoft Visual Studio.NET., C#, Web development (ASP.NET), SQL database development (Microsoft SQL Server), graphics, XML, networking, software testing, e-commerce and Java. Reinforcement of theory is achieved through lab projects and close instructor contact. Safety is emphasized and leadership, ethics, teamwork, math and written/verbal communications are covered. Project management for Information Technology is presented with hands-on practice using curriculum modeled after the COMPTIA certification content.
On September 22, 2009, Carnegie Mellon University officially dedicated the Gates Center for Computer Science and Hillman Center for Future Generation Technologies. To celebrate, we look back at some of the notable milestones in the over 50 years of computer science at Carnegie Mellon.
