Computer science majors decreasing

Computer science majors decreasing 06/17/2005 04:56 PM

The number of computer science majors in American higher education has decreased over the past five years.

Nationwide, the number of newly declared computer science majors has decreased 39 percent from fall 2000 to fall 2004, from 16,000 to about 10,000 declared majors, according to the Computing Research Association ...

The same Association finds first-year college student interest declining as well.

Fewer, But Better, Computer Science
Students 11/14/2003 08:38 PM
To hear people complaining these days you'd think that there were no more computer science students taking classes any more, and the three or four who were would never find jobs. It seems that's not true. Enrollment in computer science is definitely down, but people say the quality is much higher, as these are students who actually are interested in the topic, as opposed to those boom-year students who just studied it because they thought it would let them ride the wave to dot com riches. The schools also note that it's more difficult to find jobs, but they are placing the majority of their students in tech jobs.

New Python Computer Science text book

New Python Computer Science text book 12/12/2003 08:57 PM

Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science is a new Computer Science text book designed for use in introduction to programming classes, written by John Zelle, who's Teaching with Python page . Kirby Urner recently posted a mostly positive review of the book to the Python Edu-SIG mailing list, which sparked an interesting discussion about Python's place in the CS curriculum.

Unsurprisingly, the one thing that isn't disputed on the Python Edu-SIG list is that Python is a superb first language for CS students. As I've mentioned before, I'm convinced that the reason so many of my fellow students seem to actively dislike programming is that they're introduction to it was via Java, a language that enforces a mentality of battling the compiler more than one of straight problem solving. Hopefully now that text books are beginning to appear Python will be considered more seriously by computer science departments around the world.

Saudi computer science grad student
makes the news

Saudi computer science grad student
makes the news 04/15/2004 11:36 AM

This story on Sami Omar al-Hussayen is worth the pain of (free) registration at WashingtonPost.com.  Here are a couple of excerpts:

Defense attorney David Nevin portrayed his client as a well-liked leader of the university's Muslim Student Association who had been quick to publicly condemn the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Hussayen, the father of three young boys, is not an angry Muslim who hates the West, he said. On the contrary, Nevin added, he comes from a well-to-do family that has traveled the world. "He doesn't hate the United States. He doesn't hate Western values. That's not who he is," Nevin said.

Hussayen, 34, a doctoral candidate in a computer science program sponsored by the National Security Agency, is accused of creating more than a dozen jihadist Web sites and of moderating a global e-mail group that in February 2003 posted an "urgent appeal" for Muslims in the U.S. military to supply information about American forces and facilities in the Middle East that could be selected as targets for acts of terrorism.

Displaying a chart that showed the links among more than a dozen Web sites, [federal prosecutor] Lindquist told the jury that Hussayen managed "an Internet network -- a platform," and that "the content of this platform was extreme jihad -- terrorism."

...

The Saudi Embassy has pressed for Hussayen's release and is paying for his top-flight legal defense team, which includes Joshua Dratel, who represented Wadih Hage, a former aide to Osama bin Laden.

The case is interesting because Mr. Hussayen's main defense is based on the First Amendment though he is not a U.S. citizen.  If the U.S. government doesn't like someone residing in a foreign country it is free to shoot a missile at the guy's car and summarily kill him.  If, on the other hand, an enemy manages to score himself a student or tourist visa and arrives on our shores we can't touch him because he is now entitled to a variety of protections under the Constitution that were designed for (presumably loyal) citizens.  Sami Al-Arian, the computer engineering professor from University of South Florida, attempted a First Amendment defense as well [Mr. Al-Arian, a Kuwaiti national whose application for U.S. citizenship was turned down based on his fraudulent registration to vote in the early 1990s, is a great example of the American Dream because the taxpayers of Florida are still paying his salary while he sits in federal prison awaiting his trail in January.]

The Ancient Greeks took the rules of hospitality, xenia, very seriously.  Certainly running off with your host's wife was out of the question and thus the abduction of Helen was a sufficiently serious breach to warrant the Trojan War.  Most of our recent troubles with terrorism stem from Arab guests in or immigrants to the United States.  So far the government's response seems to be an attempt to reduce the number of guests and/or screen them more thoroughly for existing connections to terrorist organizations.  In the long run, however, this seems doomed to fail.  You can't expect someone to abandon his beliefs simply because he is visiting the United States or has immigrated here, even if one of those beliefs is hatred of American society.  My prediction:  within the next five years there will be calls to restrict constitutional rights to citizens.  It will be noted that in 1787 everyone in the U.S. was either a citizen, the property of a citizen (slaves), or expected to become a citizen.  It will be argued that times have changed.  Thanks to commercial airlines millions of people land on our soil every year with no intention of joining the society.  Thus a distinction should be made between U.S. citizens and guests.  The counterargument will be that the rights of the Constitution are universal and should not only be extended to guests on our shores but also to human beings anywhere on the planet.  We shouldn't be supporting dictators in poor countries if they won't guarantee U.S.-style rights to all of their citizens and certainly we should not be engaging in extrajudicial assassination of our enemies.
