Instructions: This homework exercise is in two parts. In part one, you will find and describe the skill and background requirements for a full-time position in a computer-science related position in industry. (An "industry" position is any position that is not with the government or a non-profit organization.) In part two, you will find the application requirements for admission to a Ph.D. program in computer science.
I will evaluate your submissions according to their completeness and neatness.
Find the corporate website for either Cerner Corporation in Kansas City, MO, Boeing Corporation in St. Louis, MO (or any other Boeing location), or Google, Inc. in Mountain View, CA. Then, find the careers section on the website you selected, and use the website to search for an entry-level job that requires a degree in computer science. (An entry-level job is one that requires no more than two years of experience. It might be advertised as a job for "graduates", "new graduates", or as an "entry-level" position.) Record the following characteristics of the job.
Go to the website for either Washington University in St. Louis, MO, the University of Missouri - Columbia, or Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, and find the webpage for the Ph.D. program in computer science at the institution. Locate the following information about the application at the institution.
What to turn in: When you have found all the requested information for both parts, enter the information in a neatly formatted document. Make sure that the two parts of the assignment are clearly labeled, that each piece of information has a number associated with it that corresponds to the numbers above, and that your name is at the top.
