Tuesday July 1

Nate Stahl and Dan Gould are undergraduate researchers in the CS department. We will begin with an introduction to the program which runs the whole computer, the Operating System. After discussing operating system concepts and some common operating systems, we will give a brief overview of computer networking. Then, we will discuss computer security and encryption, looking at both the technical issues and social, ethical, and political implications. After this whirlwind tour of systems and security (complete with hands-on demonstrations), our dynamic duo will stick around to answer questions about undergraduate research in the CS department.

Introduction to LOGO, a simple programming language.

Students will start a LOGO project of their choice as well as continue the work that they have started on their homepages and .files.

At Nite: 7:30 PM - Roundtable with Grad Students: The Path Ahead
