CSE 490c, Information and Communication Technology for Development, Autumn 2018

This is an engineering course teaching the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to address specific needs of 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. The goal of this course is provide background to develop and deploy technologies in a global setting that address development challenges. Specific topics will 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 and mobile financial services. The course will consider a wide range of application domains including health, education, agriculture, finance, and livelihood.

The class sessions will be a lecture / discussion format with readings and assignments. There will be a series of small group implementation projects to gain familiarity different technologies and software systems and to explore the design space for various applications.

There are still 6 spaces left in the Virtual Reality Capstone this fall quarter. It’s going to be a great course.  There is a glitch with the registration system only allowing up to 25 students to enroll but we can take up to 28. Class meets this Thursday. Attend in person on Thursday to learn more if you’re interested.  SLN 23473 CSE 481V

Hello everyone! Hope you had a great summer and are looking forward to starting a new year of school. 🙂

We are launching a CSE Big/Littles program and are looking for volunteers to act as mentors for our fall 2018 admits!

Why be a big?

As our program begins to expand, the amount of students who are new to our program (and, in some cases, to UW) is increasing drastically. We want to make sure that CSE continues to be a supportive environment for all students despite this growth in student numbers. Being a big is a great way to connect with new CSE students. As a big you will have the opportunity to change the experience of being a new admit into our amazing CSE community! Additionally, you will get access to a community of fellow bigs. Students who have volunteered to act as bigs will be invited to a Slack channel that will allow bigs to ask questions that they may not be best equipped to answer, allow for easier communication throughout the events and big meet ups, and keep bigs accountable.

Big Details:

If you are an upper class CSE major (Sophomore, Junior, Senior) who is excited to meet and guide new CSE majors, this is the perfect role for you! You will have a group of 1 – 5 littles (this number may change based on the number of volunteers).

• Your littles will meet you for the first time during a mandatory one hour session on the second week of school (@ 4:30, on a single day between the 8th – 11th of Oct). More details to come!
• After the initial meeting, you will be responsible for scheduling short meeting sessions once every 2 weeks to follow up with your littles and see how they are doing.

The total commitment is about one hour/two weeks for three quarters plus the one hour session (@ 4:30, on a single day between the 8th – 11th of Oct) by the end of the second week of school. We are hoping to get as many volunteers as possible to allow for smaller groups which would help build more personal relationships.

To volunteer, please submit this volunteer form by Wednesday, Sept 26th at 11:59PM.

Thanks for all your help!

• Before we get to that, just a quick note that this week on Tuesday we will be very short staffed, so please note there will be a longer than normal wait at Quick Questions (QQ’s) on that day.  We’ll have the same QQ schedule this year of Monday mornings, Tues-Wed-Thurs afternoons and Friday mornings. Check the advising calendar for dates and times.
• We will have a new process for graduation appointments this year, please stay tuned for more information on that process in the next few days.  Please do NOT come to QQ’s for graduation appointments this week.
• Overload process is the same as previous quarters:  sign up on UW’s notify tool and watch for open space. Contact advising if you are in need of a course to graduate or something else extraordinary.
