Earning my degree in Computer Science from Midwestern State University has opened many doors for me. Software engineering and computer science careers depend upon the constant evolution of new approaches and techniques for problem solving while enabling the exploration of diverse fields in which software and technology can be applied. As a computer scientist at 3M, I have the opportunity to study interdependencies of material science, computer science, and the user experience as I innovate through analogy

A degree in Computer Science from Midwestern State University equipped me well for both graduate studies and subsequent work in both academia and industry - I have been working in the Silicon Valley surrounded by top computer scientists, many of whom graduated from top-name universities, and have not felt outgunned. Looking back, I realize I benefited both from the strong fundamentals provided by the coursework and from continued guidance and support by the faculty, two of the strengths of the Computer Science department
