Dr. Duncan Buell, chairman of the department of computer science and engineering at the university’s College of Engineering and Computing, said people with degrees in computing should have no difficulty finding a job. In fact, there are three jobs for every person with a bachelor’s degree in computing. He can discuss the job market and computing careers.
