The Role of Computer Science in Liberal Arts Education & SocietyComputer Science integrates three fundamental processes: theory (from mathematics), abstraction (based on the scientific method), and design (from engineering) [1]. The problem solving perspectives emphasized in CS provide important mental models for addressing problems in many disciplines. This is sometimes called “algorithmic thinking” or “computational thinking.” As described by Walker et. al., “methodologies within computer

preparation before publication. Choosing a research topic Choosing a research topic can be a difficult task. Even within the guidelines of an assigned topic, there can be multiple pathways to focus on. Here are some things to consider when narrowing down your topic: Keep in mind that choosing a research topic is research! What are the topical guidelines your instructor has put in place?

. These types of projects demonstrate a student’s ability to think like a scientist and connect theory to practice. Beyond that, it trains students to think critically. “It’s one of the ways they develop habits of mind that are connected to being good citizens, too, because research questions are rarely neat,” Killen said. The process of developing a hypothesis, and determining how to explore that question and collect data, may look like a method useful only in academic research. However, Killen

foreign languages—particularly the “soft” ones such as Spanish and French—while men gravitate to the “hard” languages (German, Russian) and other academic subjects such as science and math. In the larger university setting, most foreign language departments have traditionally been split between (mostly male) tenured and tenure-track faculty members engaged in original research in literature or literary theory, and (mostly female) non-tenured lecturers and teaching assistants responsible for the
