Students at Carver Engineering and Science recently had the chance to hear directly from Temple University’s Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) about the future of technology and what studying computer science in college really looks like.

Professor Dr. Karl Morris and CIS Instructor Emily Thyrum visited the school along with a group of Temple undergraduate and graduate students. Together, they spoke with Carver students about how artificial intelligence is changing the tech industry and shared information about computer science programs at Temple.

Highlights from the Visit

• How AI is Changing the Field: Dr. Morris and Professor Thyrum talked with students about how artificial intelligence is shifting the way software is built and what skills future developers will need to succeed.
• Computer Science at Temple: Faculty members walked students through degree options, research projects, and ways high schoolers can start preparing for college coursework now.
• Advice from Current Students: Temple undergrads and grad students shared insight about college getting into research and landing tech internships.

Located just down the street from Temple in North Philadelphia, Carver Engineering and Science regularly partners with local universities to connect students with mentors and opportunities right in their own neighborhood.

A big thank you to Dr. Morris, Professor Thyrum, and the Temple CIS students for stopping by and sharing their time with our school!
