Father and son, Greg and Mitchell Jones<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Greg Jones when he graduated from UTC in 1981.<\/p><\/div>\n

Forty years ago in May 1981, Greg Jones received a bachelor\u2019s degree in computer science from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.<\/p>\n

Forty years later in May 2021, Mitchell Jones\u2014the youngest of Greg\u2019s four children\u2014will receive a bachelor\u2019s degree in computer science from UTC.<\/p>\n

Father and son. Same degree. But in the world of computer science, that\u2019s where the similarities end. Comparing computer science circa 1981 and computer science today is akin to comparing dinosaurs to the Geico gecko.<\/p>\n

The degree isn\u2019t even offered within the same division anymore. When Greg went to UTC, his major lived in the College of Arts and Sciences. Today, computer science is a pillar of the College of Engineering and Computer Science.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince most people today don\u2019t know the history of computing, they would probably be surprised that the technology has gone full circle in about 40 years, unlike a lot of other fields,\u201d said Greg, chief information officer with the Chattanooga-based Airnet Group. \u201cAs a result, all the computer science classes have changed due to the technology enhancements made over that time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell will participate in commencement ceremonies on April 25 in McKenzie Arena. The son\u2014like his father\u2014will be able to call himself a UTC alumnus with a degree in computer science.<\/p>\n

\u201cGraduating with the same degree as my dad has a lot of meaning to me, honestly,\u201d Mitchell said. \u201cWe talk all the time about how much computer science has changed over the past 40 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to see what this field will be like 40 years from now. If either my son or daughter jumps into tech, I\u2019ll be fascinated to share their stories of how different it has become.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greg and Mitchell have compared notes many times while Mitchell was pursuing his degree. While a few of their UTC courses were the same, they were general education or business. Not surprisingly due to the length of time between their college days, they have had no shared professors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always talk about the codes he had to deal with and hoping you got your results back in a few hours. I\u2019m glad we don\u2019t have to do that anymore,\u201d Mitchell said. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty amazing just how different it has become. With programming, there is always a constant state of learning; you\u2019re always learning newer technologies and trying to stay ahead of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s neat to talk to him about it and see the advancements in technology comparatively to back then. Even though I probably know a few different languages than he does, he can keep up and we can talk about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greg admitted it was a \u201ccool thing\u201d whenever Mitchell showed an interest in computer science.<\/p>\n

\u201cMitchell has loved computers from early on. If I ever did anything, he\u2019d always ask me about it,\u201d Greg said. \u201cFifteen to 20 years ago, it was hard to show my kids\u2019 stuff on a computer because they didn\u2019t seem to get it, but he was always intrigued by it, which I thought was pretty cool. I could say to him, \u2018If I do this right here, then this right here will work.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Greg began working for TVA in college and was with the public power company for 13 years. Over that period, he also received a master\u2019s in business administration from UTC in 1983.<\/p>\n

For his master\u2019s thesis, Greg had to run a computer program overnight. Because of the size of the program, the job couldn\u2019t be run during regular business hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would get one three-hour window each night to run my statistical models on the University\u2019s mainframe, and then the next night I would try it again. It was a labor-intensive, very slow process.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, it\u2019s so advanced that the same program can be run in minutes or less,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Greg said he grew up in a blue-collar household in Hixson and was the first college-educated person in his family. Most of his family members were tradesmen, and \u201cMy dad used to try to teach me mechanics and all that kind of stuff.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day he told me, \u2018You need to go to talk to your mom about college because you\u2019re not getting this mechanic stuff,\u2019\u201d Greg said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started as a math major, then I took a computer class and really got into it. The rest is history. As my dad says, I became an intellectual mechanic instead of a physical mechanic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell took a different route to UTC. He was home-schooled before enrolling in a program at Chattanooga State Community College that offered two years of free tuition.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut my goal was to get a bachelor\u2019s degree in computer science, and I wanted to go to UTC,\u201d he said. \u201cKnowing my dad went there and knowing it was a good school, there wasn\u2019t anywhere else where I wanted to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell is interning at Coyote Logistics while he completes his studies. He has already accepted an offer from the global logistics provider to begin working for the company full-time after he graduates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of Mitchell for finishing his degree because technology is hard. I mean, all degrees are hard, but I would always tell my kids: Get a degree in something you can make a living at,\u201d Greg said. \u201cAnd what I found out during my career is that the computer science path was in high demand then, and 40 years later, it\u2019s still in high demand. So that says Mitchell is going to have a lifelong career of employment opportunity and a decent lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n
