• Roots in Math and College of Science
• First degree granting CS Department in the world
  (1962)
• We have moved into the new Lawson Computer
  Science Building!

The Challenges Facing Computer Science for the
Next Ten Years

• Ubiquitous Computing
• Mobile Computing
• Data Compression, Bandwidth Expansion
• Programming vs. Creating Systems
• Human-Computer Interaction
• Graphics, Visualization
• Bioinformatics, Computational Biology
• Databases Massive Data Handling, Data Mining

RUMOR All Computer Science jobs are going
offshore Outsourced to India, China,
Philippines, etc.
6

• FACT
• Forrester Research, Inc. estimates that only 4
  of all Information Technology (IT) jobs were
  outsourced in 2004. This will grow to only 9 by
  2010.
• The jobs that are being outsourced typically
  involve low level skills (data entry, data
  analysis) or repetitive tasks (writing yet
  another hospital records system).
• Purdue University Computer Science graduates do
  neither low level nor repetitive tasks. They
  design innovative systems, create operating
  system security mechanisms, design new
  programming environments, create new wireless
  protocols, etc.
