An Analysis to Gather the Interests of Young Minds to the Computer Science Field and Ways to Improve Interest

Justin Wiseman

Abstract

Computer Science – There has been a decline in the student enrollment in the field of computer science since the fall of 2000 and it hasn’t stopped dropping. The jobs have not been filled in the computer science industry. What type of student is currently interested in computer science and do they know what computer science is? 

In order to answer this question I have done research on what they have done in the past on this issue. Also I have created a survey to give to the high school students and will be able to answer this question through the results of the survey and interviews of the students.

Biography

My name is Justin Wiseman; I was born in Naples, Italy, but I grew up in East Helena, MT.  I am completing a degree in Computer Science.  My expected graduation date is May 2009.

I have always been interested in computers. In high school I took most of the computer classes I could. But in addition to my interest in computers I also have an interest in auto mechanics.
