I asked OpenAI to list down subjects that one should focus on during college days so that by the time one graduate with a computer science/engineering degree, s/he is industry ready. This shall help in landing the first job.

Here is what the AI answered:

1. Algorithms and Data Structures
2. Computer Networks
3. Programming Languages and Operating Systems
4. Database Management Systems
5. Artificial Intelligence
6. Computer Architecture
7. Computer Security
8. Software Engineering
9. Web Technologies
10. Mathematics for Computer Science

I asked AI further questions about zooming in on the most important topics within these subjects. Here is what the AI answered for each of these subjects:

1. Algorithms and Data Structures: Big O notation, sorting algorithms, time complexity, space complexity, graph algorithms, tree algorithms

2. Computer Networks: Network protocols, network topologies, routing algorithms, TCP/IP, data link layers, network security

3. Programming Languages and Operating Systems: Object-oriented programming, functional programming, scripting languages, memory management, Unix/Linux, Windows, Mac OS

4. Database Management Systems: SQL, NoSQL, database design, query optimization, replication

5. Artificial Intelligence: Machine learning, natural language processing, neural networks, deep learning, reinforcement learning

6. Computer Architecture: Computer organization, instruction sets, assembly language, logic design, computer arithmetic

7. Computer Security: Cryptography, authentication, authorization, security protocols, security architecture, risk management

8. Software Engineering: Design patterns, agile development, software testing, software maintenance, software architecture

9. Web Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, AJAX, web services, web application development

10. Mathematics for Computer Science: Discrete mathematics, linear algebra, calculus, probability, statistics, graph theory.

It's interesting to see that most of these topics were topics of interest when I was in college. I'll write more about each of these topics in the coming day and of course, I'll get the help of OpenAI to add some additional insights.

Bonus: I used Dall E 2 to create an oil painting of a student.
