Barbara Ericson

I am an instructor at Georgia Tech. I have taught continuing-education courses and undergraduate courses for Georgia Tech. I developed several continuing-education courses for Tech. My e-mail is ericson@cc.gatech.edu.

Currently I am working for the Institute for Computing Education at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. I am trying to improve the quality and quantity of AP CS teachers. I am also trying to increase the number and diversity of CS students in Georgia.

I have a bachelors and masters degree in Computer Science. I have worked in several research labs: General Motors Research Labs, Bell Communication Research, and The Institue for Paper Science and Technology. I also worked at NCR and Clark Atlanta University.

I just finished my first book with my husband, Dr. Mark Guzdial on Media Computation in Java.

I have been working in computer science for over 20 years. I have done a variety of things: 3d graphics, artificial intelligence, robotics, medical informatics, telecommunications, finite element analysis, and object-oriented development.

This is one of my daughters in a sample collage using Media Computation.
