As many people know, Computer Science is a burgeoning field, with students flocking to it in their search for a suitable major. But what really does the major entail and what will students do with their degrees after they graduate? To answer that question, we turned to Dr. Ajay Katangur, a professor and the head of the CSC department at Missouri State University. He stops by to talk about the field, students’ expectations and the goals of the department this week on STEM Spots.
