Students can receive AWS certification in machine learning, a significant boost in the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Computer science is a growing field, expected to grow 13 percent through 2026, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The College of Technology is actively recruiting adjuncts to meet the demand. Currently, more than 40 educators, including adjuncts, teach more than 1,000 computer science students at WilmU; 30 percent of those students are women, compared to the national average of more than 15 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThese transformational technologies are very fast moving, and there\u2019s a huge
