Opportunities

Carthage computer science faculty are actively involved with students in a variety of research activities. Computer science majors are strongly encouraged to participate in a directed research program with a faculty member.

Internships

The Carthage Computer Science Department is very successful at placing students in internships that allow them to apply what they've learned in the classroom to a real world employment situation. Computer Science faculty receive news of internships regularly, and notify students who have taken computer science classes.

ScienceWorks: Entrepreneurial Studies in the Natural Sciences

ScienceWorks is a unique offering at Carthage. The program focuses on the business of science by integrating important skills such as written and oral communication, graphics and artwork, business accounting, management, and marketing. The program provides students with a mixture of project work, hands-on experience and preparatory coursework, all of which improve their chances in the job market and for continued career advancement.

SURE: Summer Undergraduate Research Experience

SURE offers Carthage students the opportunity to pursue in-depth study of an area of interest with a computer science faculty member. Students receive a stipend, room and board on campus, and a small research budget. The program has been a part of the Carthage science curriculum since the mid-1990s.

Student Fellows

Several computer students are selected each year to be student fellows. Fellows assist other students with free tutoring and work in the department. Student Fellows for 2009-2010 are Nick Gromiuk and Mark Hoover.

Research Activities

The CS Department offers other research opportunities, in addition to SURE. Faculty members regularly invite students to work on research projects. Those projects include:

• Computer Simulation of Materials, Parallel and Distributed Computing Technologies
• Aspect Oriented Software Development
• Game Theory and Computer Graphics
