Let's first look at the subfields of computer science.
Academic fields:
- Computing Theory
- Information and Coding Theory
- Algorithm and Data Structure
- Formal Method
- Programming Language
Practice areas:
- Computer Architecture
- Parallel Computing and Distributed Systems
- Real-time and Embedded Systems
- Operating System
- Computer Network
- Scientific Computing
- Security and cryptography
- Artificial Intelligence (pattern recognition, machine learning, data mining, and information extraction)
- Computer Graphics, computer vision, multimedia
- Database and large-scale data processing
- World Wide Web
- Natural Language Processing and speech
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Software Engineering
Now I want to discuss whether there is a project that uses knowledge in all fields.
First, all projects need to use programming languages, algorithms and data structures, and software engineering. Without programming languages, you cannot write code. Projects of a slightly higher level will use a variety of specialized or general algorithms and a variety of simple or complex data structures. To implement a large project, you will always use the knowledge of software engineering.
Then, from the CS practice field, select the courses that undergraduates should master: operating system, computer network, web, compilation principle, computer graphics, compilation principle, database, assembly, cryptography, a Data Mining feature is provided.
Associate courses with projects:
Operating System ---- write an operating system
Compilation Principle-write a language
Computer network ---- write a Web Server
Web ---- write a website
Graphics-a project related to Image Processing
Database ---- write a database
Assembly ---- write something with sink
Cryptography-write an encryption system
It can be seen that apart from the difficulty of finding a project in compilation and graphics, a final task can be found in other subjects.
Now the question is, which one is the best in data mining?
No, the question is how to use a project to cover these subjects.
When we want to implement a database system, we need to design the SQL language, which can interact with the knowledge of compilation principles.
When implementing the web server, we also need to design a website, which is better if it can be written in its own language.
Compilation is used to implement the operating system.
For graphics, I can develop a game in the best project I can think. It is also an online game, which will use the knowledge of computer networks. The communication between the client and the server requires cryptography, And the gamer's game data can also be used for data mining.
The project that covers all subjects is to write an operating system using the Assembly knowledge and C language, and then develop a specialized language for the system, use the knowledge of graphics and computer networks to create an online game on the operating system. The communication between game clients and servers must be encrypted by cryptographic knowledge, gamer data is stored in a self-implemented database system, which enables a web server to write a website in a self-developed language as the game's official website. Finally, the gamer data is used for data mining.
Feasibility of a project covering all Cs courses
