Why did you choose Computer Science as your major?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I enrolled in my first Computer Science class when I was a junior in high school. I also took the AP Computer Science course the following year. I decided to major in Computer Science not only because I enjoyed the class, but also because there was considerably more to learn about the topic.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Why did you choose to attend Marshall University?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Straight out of high school I was very free-spirited therefore I was only interested in colleges that were away from my home. When I toured Marshall, I loved the layout of campus. I realized most of campus was flat. A walk from one class to another would take at most 10 minutes. This is hard to come by in West Virginia and it is very beneficial to college students.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>3. What has been your favorite Computer Science class as a student and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nSoftware Engineering was probably my favorite Computer Science class. I really enjoyed working with a team and being able to develop our own application. <\/p>\n<p>I also enjoyed working on research with my professor and I treated it as if it were a Computer Science class. I was able to focus primarily on wireless networks and mobile computing. I was awarded the Undergraduate Creative Discovery Scholar and Undergraduate Research Scholar Award and the NASA West Virginia Space Grant Undergraduate Affiliate Fellowship Program Award. I have published one journal paper and three conference papers. Working on research projects has been more hands-on work and has given me the chance to build up my resume.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>4. What do you plan to do after graduation? <\/strong><br \/>\nI will be working with the Federal Government (West Virginia) on application system development.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logan Carpenter B.S. in Computer Science 1.
