Graphical user interface (GUI) development at USC: Looking for Undergrad

Advisor: Darun Barazanchy Introduction After algorithms are developed they remain often in a folder on a hard drive and only those involved in the development know of it. To prevent this the goal is to translate the developed algorithm into a user friendly program by developing a graphical user interface for the algorithm such that can be published on the group’s website for all to access. Project This project requires the student to develop a GUI for existing algorithms and improve existing GUI’s. If the student is interested the student may help in the development of algorithm (not required). Besides the GUI the student is expected to write a corresponding manual to concisely explain the working of the GUI. Rami Harik HARIK@mailbox.sc.edu

Computer Majors: Highest Employment Rate and Starting Salary

From Class of 2015 Is Finding Work:
Among majors, employment rates varied considerably. Computer science graduates had the highest standard, full-time employment rates (72 percent), followed by business (66 percent) and engineering graduates (62 percent). Biology majors had the lowest rates (28 percent), just under philosophy (33 percent) and physical sciences majors (34 percent). Those disparities also show up in starting salaries. At $69,214, computer science graduates were making the most money. Theology graduates, at $30,584, were making the least.
It also notes that CS majors are starting their own companies, rather than getting a job with a big company, more often that in 2014.
