Field theory in computer science course:

• The course consists of specifically positioned students who are all at different stages in their degree (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) and also all have different computer skills, interests or experience.
• It also consists of an instructor who is adjunct, tenure-track or tenured with different racial and gendered characteristics.
• The students and instructor are interacting within a social field that is a part of the larger field of the university’s computer science department.
• The departmental field consists of faculty members and undergraduate and graduate students who are enrolled in computer science degree programs.
• The departmental field is a part of the institutions larger STEM field, which is a part of the university field.
• The university field consists of all the other departments that the university offers, so schools, administrative divisions and the institution's students faculty and staff (the information above is all shown in figure 1).
• Another way of looking at the computer science departmental field is that it is a part of a wider field environment consisting of more cultural and media representations of computer science, causing it to have more cultural representations of STEM culture. (figure 2)
