Spring capstone open: CSE 482B-Technology for Resource Constrained Environments (meets DIV general education requirement)

If you are still looking for a 400 level capstone course for spring quarter, consider taking CSE 482B.  This course meets the UW diversity general education requirement.  It’s also 5 credits and has some really interesting projects.  While 331 is a listed prereq, we can waive that course.  The preferred prereqs are CSE 332 and significant programming experience.

Students will work on a group project that uses Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to address global needs with an emphasis on developing countries. While ICTs are having an enormous impact on livelihoods worldwide, deployment environments vary dramatically based on available infrastructure and technologies accessible to people. Areas of projects could include: health information systems, data collection technologies, applications for basic mobile phones, user interface design for low literate populations, behavior change communication, voice based social networks, community cellular networks, open source projects for global good, low-cost smartphones, satellite image analysis or mobile financial services targeting domains including health, education, agriculture, finance, and livelihood.
