Students gather around to listen to Kimball sophomore Sina Hussaini explain how his team created a computer program on atmospheric changes during a coding class for high school students at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on July 27.
Kimball High School sophomore Sina Hussaini and Tracy High School junior Christopher Chen go over an atmospheric coding sequence during a computer modeling class July 27 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Tracy High School computer science teacher Richard Newton reviews different coding methods with high school students from Tracy, Kimball, Millennium and Monte Vista of Danville, who were taking part in a special coding class July 27 at the Livermore lab.
High school students learned how to write computer codes for an atmospheric sequence during a special class last week at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. They were instructed to write programs on the movement of carbon through the atmosphere, in oceans and underground to discuss climate change.
Eight high school students learned a computer language called NetLogo that they used to create a program to visually explain how carbon moves through various zones, including the atmosphere, the ocean and underground.
The participants were Tracy High students Pallavi Adapa, Colin Axner, and Christopher Chen, who will be seniors this year; D.J. Coleman and Elijah Williams, who will be juniors at Millennium High; Prabh Mann and Sina Hussaini, both entering their junior year at Kimball High; and Samantha Londynsky, a graduate of Monte Vista High in Danville.
About one in 10 high schools now offers computer science, and more should be teaching it, Newton said. Millennium is adding a class in computer science this year, and Kimball High math teacher Crystal Wong, who volunteered at the lab program, hopes to introduce it at her school next year, he said.
After receiving a PhD in computer science from the College of William and Mary, Camp began working at the University of Alabama. A few years later, she and her husband decided to move west, and Camp wanted to work at a smaller school. So, they pulled out a map of the United States, and Camp applied to four schools. Although she received three interview offers, she only accepted one of them: Mines.
The Soul of a New Machine is a non-fiction book written by Tracy Kidder and published in 1981. It chronicles the experiences of a computer engineering team racing to design a next-generation computer at a blistering pace under tremendous pressure. The machine was launched in 1980 as the Data General Eclipse MV/8000.[1]
The book, whose author was described by the New York Times as having "elevated it to a high level of narrative art"[2] is "about real people working on a real computer for a real company,"[3] and it won the 1982 National Book Award for Nonfiction[4] and a Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction.
The book opens with a turf war between two computer design groups within Data General Corporation, a minicomputer vendor in the 1970s. Most of the senior designers are assigned the "sexy" job of designing the next-generation machine in North Carolina. Their project, code-named "Fountainhead", is to give Data General a machine to compete with the VAX computer from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), which is starting to take over the new 32-bit minicomputer market. Meanwhile, at the corporate headquarters at Westborough, Massachusetts, the few remaining senior designers there are assigned the much more humble job of improving Data General's existing products. Tom West, the leader of the Westborough designers, starts a skunkworks project. Code-named "Eagle", it becomes a backup plan in case Fountainhead fails, and then the company's only hope in catching up with DEC. In order to complete the project on time, West takes risks: he elects to use new technology, and he relies on new college graduates (who have never designed anything so complex) as the bulk of his design team. The book follows many of the designers as they give almost every waking moment of their lives to design and debug the new machine.[3][5]
The work environment described in the book is in many ways opposite of traditional management. Instead of top-down management, many of the innovations are started at the grassroots level. Instead of management having to coerce labor to work harder, labor volunteers to complete the project on time. The reason for this is that people will give their best when the work itself is challenging and rewarding. Many of the engineers state that "they don't work for the money", meaning they work for the challenge of inventing and creating. The motivational system is akin to the game of pinball, the analogy being that if you win this round, you get to play the game again; that is, build the next generation of computers.
The associate of science in computer science for transfer degree will prepare you for upper-division coursework in the study of information systems and their representation, architecture and implementation. Courses include programming languages and concepts, systems analysis, mathematics, physics, computer hardware, and data structures. Our program will qualify you for transfer to a four-year institution or a career in computer science and related fields.

Tracy Kimbrel is a Program Director in the Division of Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF) within the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE). Tracy is a member of CCF's Algorithmic Foundations cluster.
Prior to joining NSF in 2009, Tracy was a Research Staff Member at the IBM TJ Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York. Tracy's research efforts concerned the design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms, ranging from highly theoretical to the most practical of efforts. His work at IBM included pure research, development of tools used in-house at IBM, performance improvements to IBM's product lines, and custom production software systems developed directly with users. His research areas include online algorithms, scheduling and resource management with applications ranging from computer file systems to ground transportation, and approximation algorithms. Tracy also developed the Introduction to Algorithms class for the IBM TJ Watson Research Center's Family Science Program, which exposes elementary school children and their parents to scientific concepts and the industrial research environment.
Dr. Camp is both an ACM Fellow and an IEEE Fellow. She was a Fulbright Scholar in New Zealand in 2006, a Distinguished Visitor at the University of Bonn, Germany, in 2010, and an ACM Distinguished Speaker from 2006 to 2015. She earned her B.A. in mathematics at Kalamazoo College, M.S. in computer science from Michigan State University, and Ph.D. in computer science from the College of William and Mary.
Kim W. Tracy was appointed Executive Director of University Computing in 2005. Prior to this, Mr. Tracy held various technology and management positions in the Bell Labs division of Lucent Technologies and AT&T, beginning in 1985. Mr. Tracy has taught computer science in various Chicago-area universities since 1989 and has co-authored a textbook with another one in draft. Mr. Tracy received dual Bachelor of Science degrees Mathematics and Computer Science from the Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly UMR) and his Masters of Science degree in computer science from Stanford University. He is a senior member of the IEEE (and formerly editor in chief of IEEE Potentials magazine) and a member of ACM.
The Executive Director of University Computing provides the leadership and support for all computing and telecommunications for the University. University Computing Services includes administrative, student, and faculty systems as well as support for all computing infrastructure.
