Robotic Animals?

Image
An article by Aisling Irwin titled " Robotic Bugs Train Insects to be Helpers" discusses a new experiment that has been done involving robots to be integrated in insect society. This specific experiment involved robots to "live" with ants and become one with them. When they ants found food, the robot will detect that a follow the ants to the food source. the purpose of this experiment was to prove a theory which was brought up by another experiment. Another robot followed cockroaches and did what they did, eventually till it was recognized as one of them. Later whatever the robot did which went against normal cockroach behavior, such as moving to a space with light, the roaches followed the robot. Dr. Collignon, one of the researches, believes this is a step towards animals becoming more useful towards human society. Some new uses that could be introduced is that small animals can be used to explore dangerous environments that humans cannot go into such as a collaps...

Different Diplomas, Different Requirements

Even though I've known that there are three different types of diplomas offer, generally, I never really been told by school staff the requirements for each diploma; I only figured out the requirements when I googled it. however, today I finally got a sheet with all the requirements for getting a regents or advanced regents diploma. the major difference between a regents and advanced regents diploma is the foreign language section.

CE#4: Meeting the Demands of Students and Society

Image
In the recently published articles, " Falling Behind", by Jeremy Bauer-Wolf a new concern is being brought up with the high demand for computer scientist in the real world. Although colleges are doing an amazing job with producing graduates with bachelor's degrees in computer science, it is still not enough to fill the demand in the work force. This causes colleges to be under constant pressure since more and more students are enrolling in computer science programs. There are other concerns such as professors don't have the necessary resources or facilities to keep up with the increasing workload and that the people who enroll on computer science programs aren't from underprivileged ethnicities. There have been of recommendation in order to fix these concerns, but it doesn't change the fact that computer science is one the most growing fields of work. Since schools can't sustain the demand, many people seek their degree from online courses. For me this i...
