Logan Sanders (’25) spoke to CSC 3040 about how lessons from this professionalism and communication course helped him land his new role with HCA Healthcare’s IT internal audit team.
Thanks, Logan!🙌
One week in and our new computer science Golden Eagles are already coding their story.
Newcomers got their own “debugging duck” at "Logging in to CS" last week – because every great programmer needs one.
TN Tech's Computer Science Department gathered in Chattanooga for a retreat, meeting with our advisory board and setting strategic goals:
-Student Success
-Community Building
-Faculty & Staff Development
-Brand Awareness
Our team left inspired and prepared for the year ahead!
Of course our HPC students love solving big problems fast. Enter the new ASCEND (Advanced Scalable Computing, Extreme Networks & Data) Center.
HPC + ASCEND = A community of TN Tech students and faculty dedicated to serious computing power!
Spotlight: Data Science & AI
Students in TNTech's DS/AI concentration develop real-world problem-solving skills using AI & data tools. Plus, they can join groups like the Data Science League!
🧠 The MInDS Center connects researchers + students to drive AI workforce development.
