About Elijah Jorgensen
I've been to three different high schools in different places, and I've learned a lot in subjects like computer science, engineering, digital media, and robotics. I didn't just focus on school stuff, I also did other activities like teaching at a BSA Scout camp and working as a handyman. I even got the top award from Boy Scouts, the Eagle Scout Award, and I did really well in cross-country and track & field sports. I like taking on leadership roles, and I've had a lot of them in scouting. Besides all this, I really enjoy working on robots and fixing up old cars, which shows how much I like doing hands-on and technical things.

Education
University of Detroit Mercy
Bachelor's Degree In Software Engineering• Present
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program helps students develop a robust understanding and knowledge of quality software programming, design, development, and implementation, while allowing for the flexibility to further explore areas of interest in hardware, software, web development, gaming, bioinformatics, security, or robotics to name a few. There is great demand for graduates with computer science degrees. Even though there are growing opportunities overseas, the number of new computer science jobs created in the United States is growing at a rate greater than the number of graduates in this field.
