Assessing and Responding to the Growth of Computer Science Undergraduate Enrollments seeks to provide a better understanding of the current trends in computing enrollments in the context of past trends. It examines drivers of the current enrollment surge, relationships between the surge and current and potential gains in diversity in the field, and the potential impacts of responses to the increased demand for computing in higher education, and it considers the likely effects of those responses on students, faculty, and institutions.

This book discusses the role that women play in the field of computer science, highlighting women who are making major contributions in the field, while encouraging girls to consider a future career in computer science.

Careers in computer science are among the hottest, most in-demand occupations in the United States today. Comments from people in the industry, current statistics and forecasts, and realistic descriptions provide a useful look at computer science jobs ranging from software developers to information security analysts to database administrators.

Internet of Things (IoT) security deals with safeguarding the devices and communications of IoT systems by implementing protective measures and avoiding procedures which can lead to intrusions and attacks. This has generated an altogether new area of research, which seeks possible solutions for securing the devices, and communication among them. Internet of Things Security: Fundamentals, Techniques and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the overall scenario of IoT Security while highlighting recent research and applications in the field.

Discusses important 21st century skills that students must possess. It mentions that computer science (CS) is the foundation of most innovations today, from biotechnology to earth sciences to national security, so it is necessary to include it in schools so that students can acquire relevant skills for the future. The book presents computer science as more than merely using technology. The subject of computer science is very broad and teaches learners design, problem solving and logical reasoning--all of which are valuable outside the computer science classroom.

This book covers not only information protection in cloud computing, architecture and fundamentals, but also the plan design and in-depth implementation details needed to migrate existing applications to the cloud. Cloud computing has already been adopted by many organizations and people because of its advantages of economy, reliability, scalability and guaranteed quality of service amongst others.

The book predicts the growth of many technical fields, including cloud technology, 3D printing, the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile fields, but highlights that these fields are not currently included in most school curricula. It also mentions computer science teaching in developing countries, which lacks consistent policies, leadership and innovation capabilities within institutions. In order to train people who are capable of contributing to society and economy at large, the education sector must be reimagined.

This book outlines emerging trends and practices in computer science and technology. It mentions that although computer-based technology has penetrated many aspects of everyday life and industry, little is known about how to use it to improve daily life. The book discusses some of the benefits of computer science in society, plus the challenges that computer users often encounter.

The book describes computational science as a field related to the design, execution and use of arithmetical models to evaluate and solve scientific complications. Generally, the word refers to the application of computers to simulate or numerically analyze scientific systems or processes. This book claims that because of the complexity of mathematics, massive amounts of calculations involved, or both of them, computational science enables people to perform tasks that were difficult to do before.
