UW Information Sessions, NAE Seattle Summit and Poster Competition
Dear engineering students and faculty,
Please stop by any time during one of the information sessions listed below to learn about the National Academy of Engineers Grand Challenges Summit Series and student poster competition to be held in Seattle May 2nd and 3rd hosted by the University of Washington. Hundreds of engineers, scientists, innovators, and students from nine U.S. states and British Columbia will be attending this regional conference. Please stop by and learn more. http://www.engr.washington.edu/news/nae10/index.html
The purpose in holding these information sessions is to help engineering students learn about how to participate in the conference and how to register for the poster competition held on May 2nd. The competition would be an opportunity for students to gain national exposure for engineering research and/or designs.
The Seattle Summit is focused on two of the fourteen Grand Challenges identified by the National Academy of Engineering: “Engineer better medicines” and “Engineer the tools of scientific discovery”. As an engineering student, my goal is to increase student participation in a conference that brings engineers together – across all disciplines and universities to address the engineering challenges of our time.
Information Sessions:
Thursday, April 8th, 4:00pm to 5:00pm in the Electrical Engineering Building (EEB) 403
Monday, April 12th, 11:30am to 12:30pm, in the Deans Conference Room, Loew 355
Tuesday, April 13th, 5:30pm to 6:30pm in ABC McCarty Hall

Subject: [cs-ugrads] 2010 Engineering Open House (Discovery Days)
CSE Faculty, Staff and Students,
After a one-year hiatus, the Engineering Open House will make its 2010 return on Friday, April 23 and Saturday, April 24. The official title for this year’s event is Engineering Discovery Days 2010.
CSE faculty and student participation is a vital element to the success of this event. Specifically we are in need of faculty and graduate student volunteers for research demonstrations, and undergraduates for tours and presentations. If you can help out in any way please reply to this email as soon as possible.
This year’s events are limited to approximately 5000 attendees over both days. As in the past, there will be campus-wide exhibits and activities over the course of the two days. We plan to confine our CSE activities to the atrium.
We are in need of volunteers for the following Engineering Discovery Days events within the CSE building:
Friday, April 23: 10:00 am to 1:00 pm (for grades 4-8). Friday’s greatest need is research demos that can be repeated over the course of the three hours.
Saturday, April 24: 10 am to 2 pm (for high school and older, potential CSE recruits). Saturday’s greatest need is undergraduate tour leaders and volunteers for a student panel.
Additional details will be forthcoming as we get closer to the event. We will look forward to your input and participation.

Gayle Laakmann
“Cracking the Technical Interview: Advice for Programmers”
Abstract:
Computer Science interviews are a different breed from other interviews and, as such, require specialized skills and techniques. Cracking the Technical Interview will teach you how to prepare for technical interviews, what top companies like Google and Microsoft really look for, and how to tackle the toughest programming and algorithm problems. This talk will include stories from the speaker’s extensive interviewing experience as well as a live “demo” of how to tackle a technical problem.
Bio
Gayle Laakmann is the founder and CEO of CareerCup.com and the author of “Cracking the Technical Interview” (http://www.careercup.com/book). Career Cup is the leading source of technical interview preparation and provides a free forum with 3000+ technical interview questions, a book, a video, and mock interviews. Gayle has worked for Google, Microsoft and Apple as a Software Engineer and has extensive interviewing experience on both sides of the table. At Google, she interviewed over 120 candidates at Google and served on its hiring committee. Gayle received her bachelors and masters in Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvalnia in 2005.
