Computing has profoundly changed the world. However, just using a computer is only a small part of the picture. Real empowerment comes when one learns how to program computers, to translate ideas into code. Computer Sciences can also develop skill in problem solving, the ability to formulate problems, think creatively about solutions, and express a solution clearly and accurately.
With the ever changing technology world, knowledge on data mining, programming, software development, or hardware really help our next generation.

* About Mr. John Crawford
- Intel Pentium Chip Co-Founder, Intel Fellow, Computer Science Advisory Board Member, William Jessup University
- Crawford joined Intel in 1977 as a Software Engineer developing software tools for Intel’s 8086 processor; including the code generation phase of Intel’s Pascal compiler for the 8086. In 1982, he became the Chief Architect for the Intel386TM microprocessor, responsible for defining the company’s 32-bit architectural extensions and later participated in the design of the processor by leading the microprogram development and test program generation.
- Following this, he was Chief Architect of the Intel486 processor, and later co-managed the design of the Pentium© processor. Crawford headed the joint Architecture Research with Hewlett-Packard that developed the Itanium family architecture, Intel’s 64-bit Enterprise product line. He later was responsible for setting the architectural direction for emerging power and reliability technologies for future Intel© Processor Server platforms.
- Crawford holds 38 patents in the field of Computer Engineering.
