InnovateFPGA: Wrong Strategy Drives One of the Best FPGA Development Contests into Crisis
In my opinion, the main problem of the InnovateFPGA contest is the lack of a permanent team to lead.
I have noticed that there is a growing trend to dumb down the CS curriculum by removing mathematical topics.
Your career is a journey. You define where you want to go on that journey. You plan it out. You set goals. Your job, on the other hand, is a step along the way.
Programming is For More than Engineering; Computer Science is About More than Building Things
Programming should be part of computing education curriculum, and take into account all the ways students will use computing.
Validity and Reliability in Data Science: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
We examine the essence of the components of data science, as well as their interrelations, from the educational perspective.
