Day 17 of development late again since I got so sleepy.

Not much to report other than doing development for college courses. C# has been a breeze as expected (I took it for an easy A), and C++ has been good! I think I'm getting a better grasp of it this time around.

Today I plan to return to Puppy Tasks since I have done most of my homework for the week

I’m currently on a mid-session break (I have this week and next week off of uni). I think I’ll take this week to rest and do some Self Care™ (i.e. fixing my sleep schedule), and then next week I’ll ease back into studying and revising for my upcoming quizzes.

Wowie it's been a minute! My coursework was a lot to keep up with and I did not really get the chance to do any posting on here, and with it being my last semester, I figured why not try this again!

Hello there, I'm Sibu. I'm a computer science student with a focus in software engineering. I'm due to graduate this coming May, and I'm hoping to get a job in UI/UX design, product design, or front-end development.

Current Courses

Game Design

Web Development

Entrepreneurship

Capstone

Interests

I still have a lot of interests and passions! The list I did a couple years ago is still very accurate.

Illustration & Graphic Design

Reading Manga

Crochet

Fashion & Sewing

Web design & development

This is an ever-growing list, I fall down a lot of research/youtube rabbit holes and get interested in a lot of hobbies I don’t have the time/money/equipment for, like mechanical keyboards and machine embroidery. I also really love watching documentaries/video essays.

Goals

I'm looking to document this semester a bit more, especially since it's my last. I'm really excited about the classes I'm taking! All of them are very project-based, and I'll be working a lot with others to make things. I think it's going to be a lot of fun!

My College Courses

In this post, I’ve typed up my full list of college courses organized by Smith’s seven major fields of knowledge (used for Latin Honors). You can also check out my courses page to see them organized by semester. 

As an engineering and computer science double major, it was unsurprising that my top categories were Mathematics and Analytical Philosophy {M} and Natual Science {N}. In fact, two-thirds of my credits (120/179) carried either the {M} or the {N} designation. Note that my three UMass computer science courses (marked with asterixis) weren’t technically assigned Latin Honors designations, but I’ve categorized them with an {M} as nearly all Smith computer science majors hold that designation. 

While the vast majority of my courses were for one of both of my majors, I am proud to say that I took a total of 50 credits that were completely outside of both majors. Over the course of my time at Smith, I took courses from 13-16 different departments. The exact number depends on if you count psychology or not as I took a course cross-listed between both philosophy and psychology. Furthermore, FYS (first-year seminars) and IDP (inter/extradepartmental) courses fall outside of the set departments so are tricky to count. 

Next to each category, I’ve included a percentage that measures the percentage of my credits earned for the given category. Note that the percentages don’t actually sum to 100% as six of my courses held two distinct designations. I’ve marked these courses using the caret and inverted caret symbols.

Ayo just found ur blog, what do you think abt doing computer sci w/out a degree? Im a highschool dropout and amd using khan academy for their AP CS course and its super fun tho im not sure how realistic it is to enjoy computer sci esp since i dont know which branch id like most, (prob web dev tbh)

Hey! Regarding doing computer science without a degree, there are definitely still ways for you to get into the industry without one, such as getting certifications. While a degree is great to show that you completed a 2 or 4-year program at an institution, what matters the most is when you have a portfolio to show your progression and work--including all mistakes within your growth!

This can include logging your progression in a blog (like this one) and being active on Github on others' or your own repositories. Networking with others is also very helpful such as joining local comp sci and hacking events, career fairs, and even reaching out to other developers over Discord servers and other social media.

Regarding figuring out what area you like most in computer science whether it be web development (front, back, or full-stack), cyber security, managing big data and the cloud, artificial intelligence, or game development--The only way you can figure out is by trying it out and seeing what your passion is.

Simply put, it is definitely realistic for you to still enter the industry; getting a GED also helps just to seal away that last few years of High School so you can have that completed and out of the way. You got this! ✨

a message to comp sci students

if you ever use chatgpt to write your code and think “the professor will have no idea!”

yes, they will. if youre doing that and you dont understand the code its giving you, then you wont know when you have written the most stupid inhuman code ever. youre like the email scammer who says “yes i think these english words go in these order and the victim will be none the wiser!” and then its the most obviously scam-filled word salad youve ever read. plus, when someone sees a really weird code line theyre going to ask “why did you do it that way” and they will KNOW the answer when you cannot provide one.

Overview of My Experience With my Java Project

I have done my course on Java this semester, and at the end we turn in a project we make that is of our choosing. I made a shopping helper application that tracks spending habits and how your recent shopping trips went. It's useful for keeping track of inflation too hehe.

I used an API to fetch the local area tax rate based on US ZIP codes (sorry to everyone outside the US). I also used GSON to write JSON files to save progress, because sometimes we all have to step away right? It also saves the receipt as a .txt or .csv file.

It's in total 3282 lines of code and the sale types was the worst part giving so many errors due to my dumb ass not knowing how to do math, but other than that I honestly just hate UI with a passion, so that wasn't fun.

Overall despite my initial hatred of Java, I think I can safely say while it is annoying, I will probably be okay working with it again. I don't love it or hate it.

Now next semester is when I'll shine. C# should be a breeze, and hopefully I'll learn something new. HTML/CSS should be okay although I'm debating switching it out for .net (don't ask why C# and .net are in 2 different classes, idk either). C++ with Unreal engine will be the scary one for me since I've heard horror stories about C++.

On a small note I hope we use C# 12 and if I do .net I hope it's .net 8

Fall 2022 Courses

Today is the first day of my senior year of college! For folks new to my blog, my name is Addie and I am an aspiring software engineer double majoring in engineering (B.S.) and computer science. Coming into this academic year with a job lined up for after graduation and enough credits to graduate, really forced me to reflect on my academic and non-academic priorities for my final year of college. This year I’m hoping to do more than just academics, but admittedly school will always be pretty important to me. This semester I am taking eight classes for a total of 20 credits. While I’m taking a full load (16 credits) of major classes, I’ve sought to round out the schedule with some “fun” electives that will use a totally different part of my brain. If interested, you can check out all of my past courses. 

For my engineering major, I am taking a seminar in remote sensing (EGR 390rs), engineering design and professional practice (EGR 410D), and Design Clinic (EGR 422D). Remote sensing is my second to last technical depth course and will cover technologies like radar, sonar, and LiDAR. I’ll be totally honest here in saying that I don’t have an existing knowledge base or interest in this topic and am primarily taking the course to finish up my degree. As for EGR 410D and EGR 422D, they are one and three credits per semester respectively, so I’m not actually taking a full three engineering courses. Design Clinic is a year-long capstone design project undertaken by the vast majority of senior engineering students. What’s so cool about the program is that we work on real projects for industry partners. Design Clinic played a key role in my decision to attend Smith, so I’m excited to finally be a senior. A limited number of students complete independent capstone projects under the guidance of a faculty member instead. As for professional practice, it is another year-long course that “focuses on the engineering design process and associated professional skills required for careers in engineering.” Sample topics include project management, design for sustainability, and professional ethics

While I technically completed my computer science major requirements last semester, I’ll be taking networks (CSC 249) and algorithms (CSC 252) this semester. Algorithms is a foundational theory course that is required for admission into most graduate programs and networks is just a systems elective that fit my schedule, looks interesting, and is taught by a professor I like. 

To round out my schedule I am taking a few 1-2 credit electives: emergency care (ESS 107), rock climbing I (ESS 940ra), and Chinese music ensemble (MUS 960). My hope is that these classes don’t increase stress levels and simply make my semester more enjoyable. In many ways, I see some of these classes as extracurriculars that I just happen to get academic credit for. That said, I’m trying to be open to dropping things if my classes become too much to handle. Now for a bit about each of these electives and why I’m excited to take them. 

The elective I’m most excited about is rock climbing. As you’ll know from my post about my summer of bouldering, I’ve wanted to take rock climbing since my first semester. As mentioned in that post, I am excited to climb regularly, improve as a climber, and learn belying skills. While I’ve wanted to take this class for years, it’s been hard to make happen because of scheduling and the low course cap. 

As for the emergency care course, it’s probably one of the most practical classes I’ll ever take. In the course, we among other things become certified in Community First Aid/AED and CPR for the Professional Rescuer CPR. I initially considered taking this class because it fits into my schedule perfectly as it’s offered during the same block as rock climbing but on a different day. Maybe not the most exciting class, but it really does seem useful. 

The last class I decided to add is Chinese music ensemble. I don’t have existing knowledge of Chinese music, but do have a music background. I was initially inspired to join Chinese music ensemble on the recommendation of a friend who joined last semester. I’ll likely learn a Chinese instrument similar to the guitar, but we’ll see! 

Here’s how my classes look on a weekly calendar. All in all, I look to have a busy and exciting semester ahead!
