Education is not, as some may perceive, something set in stone, easily changed to suit each new generation. Every year, new technology pushes society further and further, and with this change in society, we must also shape our educational content and techniques to adapt to those required by the modern world. Computers have become a significant part of daily life for most Americans, as three out of four adults own a computer, and there is almost always one within the household. In most cases, financial limitations prevent the average student from having access to a decent amount of computing power. This is where innovation comes in to bridge the gap between rich and poor, to give everyone equal and fair opportunities. There is a growing demand around the world for those with high-level computer skills, and at Old Dominion University we can see modern innovations being applied to education to prepare these students for the jobs the world will demand tomorrow. Specifically, there is a growing demand for computer programmers, and education is adapting to prepare to fill this gap. Research shows that “There are still more jobs to fill than there are programmers to fill them…” and “…the number of IT jobs is growing at a rate of 100,000 per year… c 'there is still a shortage of good programmers' (Park) . Being on the cutting edge of technology is essential for anyone who wants to work in a field that involves computers. In CS (Computer Science) 150, Introduction to Problem Solving and Programming, we are taught the basics of logic and how computer programming works. Over the course of the semester, we have a total of six projects that we must complete without having time in the lab to do so.
