Objectives

Improve awareness of the important role of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) plays

Illustrate some motivating concepts in CSE through hands-on activities

Inform you about opportunities available at University at Buffalo and at CSE

Encourage high school and middle school girls to pursue higher education and careers in CSE-related fields

“Recipe” to CSE“From Minimalist”: STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH CREAMED CORN Time: 20 minutes

1 pound boneless chicken (breasts or thighs), in 1/2-inch chunks 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon sherry, rice wine, sake or white wine 2 tablespoons peanut oil or another neutral oil, like corn or grape seed 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced ginger 1 small chili, seeds and stems removed, minced (or dried red chili flakes to taste) 1 15-ounce can creamed corn 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen or canned) Chopped cilantro leaves for garnish.

1. In a small bowl, mix the chicken with the soy sauce, the sesame oil and the wine. Put the peanut oil into a deep skillet or wok, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to high. Drain chicken. When oil is hot, add chicken to skillet, and cook, undisturbed, until bottom browns, about 2 minutes. Stir once or twice, and cook 2 minutes longer. Turn the heat down to medium-low. 2. Add the garlic, the ginger and the chili to the skillet, and stir; 15 seconds later, add the creamed corn and the corn kernels. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 3 or 4 minutes. Garnish, and serve over white rice.

Analysis What is theory /concept behind this game? How did I arrive at the number you guessed? How can I automate this process? What is the data and what is the algorithm? How can we convey these to a computing machine? While a computer talks binary, we humans write programs in

languages such as Java, C#, C++, Basic etc.

Binary numbers (1’s and 0’s) is the number system used by the computer systems.

We humans use decimal number system that has 10 distinct symbols (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

Lets look at systems that are built on top of this foundational concept.

Summary

Computer science and engineering is a very interesting and rewarding field.

It is inherently cross-disciplinary. UB has an very strong CSE program and an well

known School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Consider CSE and UB Engineering for your higher

studies. Apply Buffalo-area Engineering Awareness for

Minorities (BEAM) summer program for high school students.
