I thank the panel for coming before the committee and for their very helpful opening statements. I will start with Dr. Connolly on computer science. I have to confess my own ignorance here. I had assumed when we are talking about STEM that a student in secondary school who had done other science, technology, engineering or maths would come out with an understanding of computers and their use. Am I wrong? Is it necessary for them to do computer science to get the level of detail which Dr. Connolly specified?
