The College of Engineering is recruiting students to help with a new NSF-funded initiative to promote equity in engineering relationships and education, and they invite you to enroll in ENGR 498C: Leadership Development to Promote Equity in Engineering Relationships (PEERs)
This 1 credit seminar will enlist engineering students’ creativity and social conscience, to create an inclusive environment in the UW College of Engineering. Students will explore topics such as diversity in science and engineering, impact of unconscious bias, and community engagement.
Join the College of Engineering PEERs initiative. Students who successfully complete the project seminar are eligible for internship opportunities as PEERs Leaders.
Thursdays 1:30-2:20
Priority Given to Engineering Students
For an add code, please contact Professor Sapna Cheryan at scheryan@u.washington.edu
Applications for direct exchange opportunities in Australia and New Zealand starting in February of 2010 are due on May 15th.

Interested in what goes on in the world of Academic research? Have a particular interest in an area of CSE? Looking for something interesting and technical to do over the summer? Need to get started on that Honors thesis? Just have a feeling that research is a cool thing to do?
There are about about a million reasons to try out undergrad research. Whether you’re just curious or you’re already looking for a research project, you should check out RESEARCH NIGHT on TUESDAY APRIL 28th at 5PM. Magda Balazinska will give a brief talk about what it takes to get involved in undergrad research, we’ll have a Q&A panel on doing undergrad research, and finally we’ll have a poster session with CSE research groups looking to find undergrad researchers for Summer and Fall. Now’s your chance to find out everything you need to know!
See you on TUESDAY at 5PM.

University of Notre Dame is launching a new one-year master’s program that may appeal to students considering the CSE Combined BS/MS program. The Notre Dame degree is designed for science, CS, math, and engineering graduates who will not go on to a PhD, but want to utilize their undergraduate degree in a different way. There is some financial aid available. The deadline is soon, but the application is straight-forward and the GRE is not required this year. Read on for more info! (more…)
Tips for a Job Search in a Down Economy
Presentation by Christopher Milliken, Lockheed Martin
Tuesday April 28 3:30-4:30pm
Electrical Engineering Room 303
Chris Milliken, Campus Recruiting Representative from Lockheed Martin, will provide useful tips and insights for searching for a job in this economic climate. The workshop will focus on tips for your job search, how to market your existing experiences and skills, and ideas on what activities to get involved with outside the classroom that are of interest to employers. Learn how to stand out among the hundreds of other students looking for a job. Learn what employers are looking for in the ideal candidate. Learn what to do if you can’t find a co-op or an internship this summer.
We hope you can join us for this round-table discussion!

Open to CSE majors
Objective and Background
The objective of this intensive SPM workshop is to provide a truly hands-on experience (3-4 students per instruments) in a classroom laboratory setting involving a variety of SPM techniques applied to nanoscience and nanotechnology aspects related to chemistry, physics and biology.
Since the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer (Nobel Prize in Physics 1986) scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques have dazzled scientist and engineers in nearly every field from natural sciences to liberal arts, and nucleated the new discipline of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The birth of such a highly interdisciplinary field is an attest to the changing times in a world that moves from educating specialists to generalists. The true power of SPM techniques, which assisted in removing boundaries between disciplines, lays in its simplicity to provide access to nanoworld in terms of visualization and manipulation. Hence, it is only perceivable that SPM offers outstanding educational tools for schools.
