Hello Allen School Students,

The ACM team is excited to announce that Snack Overflow is fully restocked and ready for customers! We also added some new changes to the store/system since last year.

What is it?

As some of you may remember, Snack Overflow is ACM’s honor-based, self-serve, convenience store, located in the ACM Lounge of the Paul G. Allen Center (basement of CSE 1). It provides all kinds of snacks for purchase, from muffins and chips to cold brews and green tea! The store is a small community-focused, student-run store that the ACM team works hard to keep running.

How to use it?

We are continuing to use our Square tablet checkout system. After choosing the items you want, use the store tablet to add the corresponding items to your cart and checkout by swiping/tapping your card. Square requires a $1 minimum per transaction. Moving forward this year, we are no longer accepting Venmo or cash payments.

New Changes

To monitor and combat theft, the Allen School has installed a video camera in the lounge, surveying the checkout area. ACM will not have access to this footage, only the department will.

New prices and new items. Unfortunately, Square raised their transaction fee just as the school year started so we’ll need to adjust prices accordingly. Throughout the year we will be trying out new items and and try to provide bigger snacks to match pricing accordingly.

If you have any comments or suggestions for Snack Overflow, feel free to email us at acm-officers@cs.washington.edu

Is your schedule still missing that special project course, or are you seeking a service learning opportunity?

CSE495 AccessMap VIP: Data Science in Urban Spaces
Meeting times will be 4-5:30pm on Tuesdays and/or by special appointment

There is currently a confluence of innovation across all segments of industry fueling a lot of change in civic and government technologies. Some call it the Fourth Industrial Revolution, others call it Smart CIties. Outside the hype, city life is changing and this change is hinged on sensing technologies and data science innovations. In this special projects course we will look at novel uses of data such as (but not limited to) municipal/administrative records, municipal sensing technology, high dimensional longitudinal data and mobile/wearable devices, and examine some of the innovative methodologies used to analyze and make sense of these data. We will discuss the evolution of some of the transformative data science solutions that promise a better future for cities and citizens, and examine some of the tricky cornerstones of such innovation (for example, addressing equity, sustainability, and social justice or maintaining adequate privacy and security for all citizens). Student teams (2-3 students) will pursue data projects using current open data.

The course can be taken for 1-3 units. Students pursuing 2-3 units must commit to taking the course at least two quarters.
Students taking the course for 3 units will develop data-driven applications for community engagement. This VIP (vertically integrated project) course will provide hands-on experience with the ins and outs of creating data-driven software, with opportunities to focus on geodata analytics, mobile civic engagement, mobile app data acquisition (sensors, etc), full-stack web development, human-centered design, and educational tools for civic engagement. We will spend the quarter working with university and government partners on innovative projects that harness data for improved services, as well as more efficient and effective interventions.

Who should apply: Graduate and undergraduate students with the intent to pursue a 2-quarter project and an interest in CS, transportation, GIS, civic education, data science, architecture, urban design, disability studies, rehabilitation and statistics. We welcome students of all disciplines.

To apply, please send current transcript, whether you can commit two consecutive quarters and the reason for your interest in the course to uwtcat@uw.edu. Please use “CSE495” in the subject.

What is VIP?
These courses operate in conjunction with the University of Washington Vertically-Integrated Projects (VIP) Program, which supports hands-on, project-based, undergraduate and graduate research and exploration. The VIP Program operates in a research and development context, with teams of students and faculty working on real-world projects. Undergraduate students that participate in VIP earn academic credit for their participation in design efforts.
The teams are:
 Multidisciplinary – drawing students from all disciplines on campus;
 Vertically-integrated – maintaining a mix of sophomores through PhD students each quarter;
 Long-term – each undergraduate student may participate in a project for up to three years and each graduate student may participate for the duration of their graduate career.

The continuity, technical depth, and disciplinary breadth of these teams are intended to:
 Provide the time and context necessary for students to learn and practice many different professional skills, make substantial technical contributions to the project, and experience many different roles on a large, multidisciplinary design/discovery team.
 Support long-term interaction between the graduate and undergraduate students on the team. The graduate students mentor the undergraduates as they work on the design/discovery projects embedded in the graduate students’ research.
 Enable the completion of large-scale design/discovery projects that are of significant benefit to faculty members’ research programs.

Additional information regarding VIP at UW can be found at http://vip.uw.edu/.
The UW VIP course sequence consists of ENGR 297 and 497. ENGR 297 is intended for lower division students, and ENGR 497 is intended for upper division students, specifically students in a declared major and enrolled in upper division courses within that major. ENGR 297 and ENGR 497 students, faculty, and
supporting graduate students work collaboratively on VIP teams. ENGR 497 provides advanced project- based, design and exploration experiences for upper division students. Through this class, students will take on leadership roles and mentor participating lower division students, while engaging with faculty and graduate students.
