All Butler students have access to this machine.&nbsp; We also have a small cluster, named Big Dawg, that has 560 cores.&nbsp; Students can get access to this research machine if they have a project that needs that level of CPU power.&nbsp;

The department sponsors free peer tutoring, Monday through Thursday evenings, in our classroom lab in Jordan Hall 174.&nbsp; There is a student workspace that we call the Fish Bowl in the department office suite.&nbsp; It\u2019s a great place to hang out and work, and if you have a question, the faculty are only a few steps away.&nbsp; All our faculty hold office hours \u2013 time set aside to help students who come to their offices with questions.&nbsp; Some of our courses can be quite challenging, so we make sure our students have plenty of support available to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"797\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2026\/08\/07131642\/CodeJamFall2025.png\" alt=\"Code Jam finals week coding project event\" class=\"wp-image-22737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2026\/08\/07131642\/CodeJamFall2025.png 801w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2026\/08\/07131642\/CodeJamFall2025-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2026\/08\/07131642\/CodeJamFall2025-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2026\/08\/07131642\/CodeJamFall2025-768x764.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2026\/08\/07131422\/SipesGupta2024.png\" alt=\"Abi Sipes and Prof. Ankur Gupta in his office\" class=\"wp-image-22706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2026\/08\/07131422\/SipesGupta2024.png 801w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2026\/08\/07131422\/SipesGupta2024-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2026\/08\/07131422\/SipesGupta2024-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/12\/2026\/08\/07131422\/SipesGupta2024-768x765.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of each semester, Prof. Ryan Rybarczyk sponsors our department <strong>Code Jam<\/strong>, a long evening, usually held in Jordan Hall 174, for students to work on final semester projects.&nbsp;

All our majors are required to take our CS311 Vocational Exploration course, where students learn how to build a good resume, set up a solid LinkedIn profile, and learn about the many types of jobs available to computing majors. Our Tech Talk series brings in recent alumni and other area computing professionals to talk about their careers and answer student questions. We share internship opportunities with our students, and help them build a network and find opportunities. We also help them figure out what career path fits them best, including the possibility of doing research and graduate school.
