Hi friends!

Next Wednesday, December 6th, 5pm-6:30pm, we will have a workshop on Feminism and Technology with Professor Cricket Keating of the Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies department (GWSS) at UW. The workshop will be a fun, interactive introduction to feminist principles for engineering students, faculty, and staff of all genders.

We will explore the relationship between feminist ideas and technological practice, as well as our own experiences with gender in engineering disciplines.

There will be food, so please RSVP so we can get a headcount!

Location: Gates Commons (CSE 691)

Date: Wednesday, December 6, 5-6:30pm

Hi all,

We hope your week is going well. This is a reminder that Research Night is tomorrow night! Please come to the lightning talks session in EEB 125, starting at 4:30pm. Then after that, there will be open lab time for you to walk around and talk to the representatives from the different labs. Almost every lab is looking for undergraduates, so if you’re interested in getting involved in research, this is your event! If that doesn’t convince you, there will be cookies!

Sincerely,

ACM

Hey folks,

Dropins tomorrow will be shortened to 2-315pm (instead of the usual 4pm) due to staffing shortages.

CSE482 Course Goals and Objectives

In this course we consider the complex relationship between people and technology. Your capstone project will likely challenge you to examine the ways in which technology can be both assistive and a potential barrier to individuals.

This course fulfills ABET requirements for the CSE major as well as the Diversity requirement. You will be asked to follow good engineering and documentation practices. Additionally, given the topic of the course and the participation of project Need Experts in your groups, you will be asked to follow participatory design principles in your design activities. This includes not only paying close attention to your stakeholder’s needs, but collaborating with the Need Experts in the full design process.

CSE482 provides students:

Exposure to the engineering, design, economic and social challenges facing designers, engineers, researchers, entrepreneurs, clinicians, older adults, and individuals with disabilities in the design, development, and use of accessible technology

Engagement in a team-based project experience that exercises collaborative working skills and applies an engineering design process to tackle difficulties experienced by individuals with disabilities and older adults

Participation and Interaction with users of accessibility features and assistive technology in the local community along with health care professionals, coaches, and caregivers.

Registration is open: CSE 482 SLN 3121

Hello all,

Hello!

The Student Advisory Council would like to invite you to an event on Creating Space for the Deaf Community. Our two featured speakers will be current UW CSE student Sophie Tian and Professor of Emeritus Richard Ladner. They will be sharing their experiences as well as the incredible work they have done in the deaf community. This is an opportunity for CSE students to come together, learn to see from another’s perspective, and brainstorm ideas on how to make our community a better place. We hope this discussion forum will lead to constructive conversations and actionable resolutions.

The meeting is in CSE 305 on Wednesday, November 29th. Doors open at 5:00 pm, event starts at 5:15 pm. Please RSVP here so we know how much food to order!

CSE study abroad info session
Thursday 11/30, 11:30am – 12:30pm
CSE 691

Speakers include past exchange participants and current visiting students from abroad
Who should attend: Anyone considering study abroad generally, or a CSE direct exchange specifically

This info session will present basic info on CSE exchanges, and allow lots of time for questions. Topics will include info on our exchange partner schools, the benefits and challenges of going on an exchange, cultural differences, rough expenses, and how to prepare for an exchange

You can read this page with LOTS of details on CSE exchanges. Here are some details on CSE exchanges:

• Courses are taught in English. No foreign language skill is required, though it may be useful.
• Exchanges are designed to last a full year, or one semester (two quarters).
• CSE majors pay regular UW tuition while abroad, plus expenses like airfare and insurance. Financial aid and scholarships apply normally. Some exchange schools offer a stipend, offseting your extra expenses.
• Students are selected based on their academic and personal preparation for an exchange.
• CSE students typically go abroad after completing 300-level CSE courses, and take CSE senior electives abroad.
• All/most of your exchange courses can fulfill CSE requirements, assuming you select courses carefully.
