Virginia Tech Spring Open House 2021: Computer Science

This video is the recorded breakout session for the Department of Computer Science - there were two separate sessions and questions from each session were combined into one video.
Computer scientists study the design, implementation, performance and usability of software and data-driven systems. Since modern life increasingly involves software-enabled systems, computer scientists have unprecedented opportunities to design and build systems that serve society and improve the human condition.
Computer science majors acquire a strong foundation in algorithms, problem-solving and software development. A diverse set of elective courses provides experience with areas such as artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, blockchain, data mining, graphics, human computer interaction, mobile and web development, networking, parallel computing, and software engineering.
AT A GLANCE
