The collaboration between the Berufsbildende Schule Donnersbergkreis (BBS) and the Department of Computer Science at Hochschule Worms provides an exceptional opportunity for students to attend lectures in the field of computer science. This regular exchange program offers numerous benefits for all parties involved, allowing students to gain firsthand experience of the lecture environment and engage in discussions with university students. By exposing students to the academic atmosphere at an early stage, this collaboration aims to inspire and encourage their interest in pursuing higher education in computer science.
Introduction to Computer Hardware and Digital Technology for Students
The lecture “Hardware Concepts” by Prof. Dr. Oliver Gloger provides students of the computer science course at BBS-Donnersberg with an introduction to the areas of computer and digital technology. In the first part of the lecture series, the hardware connections and functionalities of various computer components are taught, such as processor, memory types, motherboard, and graphics cards. This knowledge allows students to understand the fundamental building blocks of computer systems and how they interact with each other.
The second part of the lecture focuses on the fundamentals of digital circuits and signal processing in computers using digital signals. On this special day, the students were also introduced to basic knowledge of coding theory and presented with special codes that can detect and correct errors occurring during data transmission in computers.
The visit to the Department of Computer Science allows students to gain firsthand experience of lecture sessions and engage in discussions with fellow students. This experience, as emphasized by Kevin Jahn, the teacher of the computer science course, is crucial in providing students with a realistic perspective of university life and inspiring them to pursue higher education. This collaboration between Worms University of Applied Sciences and the Gymnasium presents an opportunity for students to explore the attractive study options available in the field of computer science. The diverse nature of this discipline provides a solid foundation for a secure and prosperous career path.
Overall, visiting the Department of Computer Science is a valuable experience for students. It not only provides them with practical knowledge of computer and digital technology, but also allows them to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a university. The collaboration between BBS-Donnersberg and Hochschule Worms enables students to explore potential study options early on and further develop their interests in the field of computer science. These experiences open up diverse career opportunities for them and lay the foundation for a successful professional future.
