The everyday computer skills every STEM field assumes you have.
Modern STEM work assumes you can drive a computer beyond clicking around.
- Files and folders. Know where your work lives, use clear names, and keep backups. Lost work is a real cost.
- The command line is a text way to tell the computer what to do. It feels old-fashioned, but it's fast, precise, and how a lot of scientific and technical tools are run.
- Spreadsheets (Excel, Google Sheets) are the most-used data tool on Earth. Sorting, filtering, formulas, and simple charts will carry you a long way before you ever need to code.
These aren't "computer person" skills — they're STEM skills.
