The College of Engineering scholarship application for the 2013-2014 academic year will open on Monday April 1. The application will close on May 1 at 5pm.
http://www.engr.washington.edu/curr_students/scholarships.html
CSE takes scholarship applications twice per year. You should apply during this application period if:
The bulk of the 2013-2014 CSE scholarships are awarded during the summer application period (Aug 1-Aug 20). So if you don’t receive an award this round, don’t worry. You have a second chance!
Emerging Leaders in Engineering Scholarships
Additionally, the College of Engineering’s Emerging Leaders Scholarships have a separate application process (please note this is different from last year). Emerging Leaders in Engineering Scholarships are awarded to students who are selected to participate in the Emerging Leaders in Engineering Program. The Program is designed to help undergraduate engineering students develop their leadership abilities through practical experience and personal reflection.
The application for the Emerging Leaders Scholarships will also open on April 1. Both CE and CS majors are eligible! You can find more info here: http://engr.washington.edu/curr_students/studentprogs/emergingleaders.html
Hi UW CSE’ers!
Congrats on surviving another quarter!
Ok, so, why am I emailing you now?
Because Google Games is back and we want to know, if you have what it takes to be a superhero or maybe your skills lurk on the dark side, with your inner villain waiting to take stride?
Whether you are good or evil, battle it out against other teams in trivia, puzzles, coding, word association and Lego building. In addition to the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, snacks, lunch and an event shirt will be provided to all participants and prizes for top teams.
Find four friends (Computer Science background strongly recommended), come up with a team name and register individually here. Can’t find a team? Sign up as an individual and we will do our best to put you in a team with others.
Google Games Seattle
Date: Saturday, April 20th
Time: 10:00 am to approximately 4:30pm

Course Opportunity this Spring—HCDE 496/596 (Directed Research: Remotely Assessing the User Experience)
We are looking for CSE and iSchool students to help us develop an open source software toolkit (WebLabUX) that allows web designers to remotely assess the effectiveness of different website designs by measuring users’ behaviors, perceptions, and comprehension when they interact with information online. You can earn course credit while helping us develop our toolkit.
Spring 2013 activities that would be of interest to CSE and iSchool students include:
Individual students will drive the development and testing of a feature or set of features of the software, under supervision of a senior graduate student and faculty member.
Students can participate in this research group by enrolling for 2-5 credits (graded cr/no cr) in HCDE 496 (for undergraduate students) or HCDE 596 (for graduate students). Students are expected to spend, on average, three hours of effort per credit per week. We will meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-5:00. Interested students should send a short email to Professor Jan Spyridakis (jansp@uw.edu) explaining their interest in the group and suggesting what software development strengths they could contribute to the group.
Thank you,
Jan

This is a summer experience, you could ask if you could start later since our quarter won’t end before it begins.
=== THE 2013 AMALTHEA REU PROGRAM ===
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A 10-WEEK RESEARCH EXPERIENCE FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS is available in the area of Machine Learning. The program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and is offered by the Information Characterization & Exploitation (ICE) Laboratory at Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) in Melbourne, Florida. Machine Learning evolved from Artificial Intelligence and has enjoyed immense growth over the last 30 years. Gradually it has spawned important areas like Pattern Recognition and Detection, Data Mining, Bioinformatics and Computer Vision among others. Nowadays it permeates several aspects of high-tech applications, like automatic target recognition, biometric-based identification and stock market prediction, as well as everyday life applications, like voice-driven dialing, optical character recognition and others. The program currently accepts applications for participation. Minorities, women and people with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply.
ELIGIBILITY
Without exceptions, applicants must be:
=> Majoring in an Engineering or Science discipline
=> US citizens or permanent residents
=> Undergraduates in good academic standing
BENEFITS
=> Exposure to the exciting world of Machine Learning and its applications
=> Participate in a one-week crash course to familiarize yourself with Machine Learning
=> Work with experienced student mentors and experts in the field
=> Participate and contribute to cutting-edge Machine Learning research
=> Take part in visits to our local industry
=> Paid travel and accommodation expenses
=> Receive a competitive stipend for per diem expenses
=> Visit Central Florida venues such as Disney attractions and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center
=> Meet new people
=> Make new friends

DISCLAIMER
This announcement was sent in anticipation that the AMALTHEA REU Program is going to be funded via a National Science Foundation grant; the official grant is currently pending.
I finally have word on what we will offer this summer. We will definitely offer:
CSE 142, 143, 154 (web programming), 333 (systems programming) and 351 (hardware/software interface) and 390A the one credit course that goes with 351.
Additionally, there will be two animation courses, CSE 456 and 464 (one A term and the other B term) and we *might* offer CSE 421, that is still pending. I should know by a week from today (by the start of spring quarter) if we’ll offer 421 this summer.
If you don’t see the course name/number above, then we are not offering it this summer. If you see it on the time schedule and not on this list, again, then it will not be offered.
We would like to ask for your help in making students aware of an opportunity for a fully supported Ph.D. study in Health Informatics in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at The University of Texas at Arlington. For this opportunity we have Department of Education backed funding (through a Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need grant) to support U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident students for their Ph.D. studies. This opportunity is open to both M.S. and B.S. graduates, the latter through our expedited B.S. to Ph.D. program. The theme of our GAANN program is health informatics, an area in which our Department has many excellent researchers, focusing on such high tech research as bioinformatics, medical imaging, medical robotics, smart environments, smart health devices, etc.
We are lenient with our Ph.D. application deadlines and would love to talk to your qualifying students.
We appreciate your help. Please feel free to contact me with any question or any suggestions; I would love to hear from you or your academic advisors.
Best wishes,
