  1. CS 1 – Introduction to Computer Science Daniel Tauritz, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Computer Science Guest Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory Double Feature Dr. T’s Formula for Optimizing Happiness ~ The Wonderful World of Dr. T

  2. CS 1 – Introduction to Computer Science Dr. T’s Formula for Optimizing Happiness

  3. Have to do vs. Opt to doMeasures of successHow to be successfulCommitment

  4. Investing your time wisely Extracurricular activities (e.g., CCDC, Student Design Teams, EWB) Professional Organizations Student Chapters (e.g., ACM, ACM-W, ACM SIG-Security, ACM SIG-Game, IEEE-CS, UPE) Undergraduate Research Internships/Co-ops Fellowships/Scholarships

  5. How to be Professional Personal hygiene Dress for the occasion E-mails are letters, so use proper address and sign-off Address instructors by their correct titles (e.g., Mr., Dr., Prof.) Never list a faculty member as a reference without their explicit permission!

  6. CS 1 – Introduction to Computer Science The Wonderful World of Dr. T

  7. Teaching • CS128 Discrete Mathematics • CS347 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence • CS348 Evolutionary Computing • CS447 Advanced Topics in Artificial Intelligence • CS448 Advanced Evolutionary Computing

  8. CS128 – Discrete Mathematics The mathematical foundations for creating discrete abstractions of the real-world and algorithms to operate on those abstract structures.

  9. CS347 – Introduction to AI Problem solving through state space search (search algorithms which operate on abstract representations of the real-world) AI Tournament

  10. CS348 – Evolutionary Computing Problem solving through stochastic, population-based search inspired by natural evolution theory (algorithms which operate on abstract representations of the real-world)

  11. CS447/448 – Advanced Topics in AI/Advanced EC Individual research projects The goal of scientific research is to add to the body of knowledge

  12. Dr. T’s current research projects • Automated Software Correction • Intrusion/Malware Detection • Automated Partial Credit Grader • Critical Infrastructure Protection • Evolving Algorithms with Evolutionary Algorithms • and… lots more!
