Why Computer Science Students Spend Two Semesters Learning to Code Before Using AI
Artificial intelligence is changing the workplace, but at BYU-Idaho, students are learning that their greatest advantage isn’t AI. It’s knowing how to use it well. As employers increasingly integrate AI into the workplace, BYU-Idaho’s Computer Science and Engineering Department is helping students build strong technical foundations while learning to use AI as a powerful tool rather than a replacement for human skill.
When students meet with Career and Academic Advisor Amy Staiger, they may notice something unexpected: artificial intelligence is part of the conversation. For Staiger, using AI means spending less time searching for information and more time listening to students.
