Katy Arnold
Position:
Software Engineer
Employer:
Logicon Inc.
Job description:
Design and implementation of mission planning software in Ada, C and C++.
Job Satisfaction:
Very satisfied
Employment history:
Just here at Logicon. (It took me 2 mos. to get a job)
Suggestions for students:
A lot of the companies that I interviewed with and especially Logicon,
are more interested in your ability to think and be taught than the specific
subjects you studied. So, in my case the fact that I did well in grad school,
and had a technical mind (math not CS) it didnt matter that I didn't know
all there was to know about computers and programming.
Advisor/Student relationship:
Maybe encourge students to take at least one applied math course. Though,
it probably doesn't hurt if they do only take that pure stuff.
