Announcing a one-time course offering this fall...... Title: Mobile/Cloud Applications for Emerging Regions
Description: A project course aimed at creating modules for Open Data Kit (http://code.google.com/p/open-data-kit) for immediate application in projects around the world ranging from public health to deforestation monitoring. Undergraduate students should view the course as a way to learn about programming on Android and AppEngine platforms while having the ability to quickly field test their work. Graduate students will find quals project candidates that could lead to longer-term research projects in HCI, networking, vision, embedded systems, software engineering, etc. Credits: 4 credits for undergraduate students as CSE490Y(SLN 20583), 3 credits for graduate students as CSE599Y(SLN 20584). Pre-requisites: CSE326 or extensive experience with Java programming. Caveats: 5th year Masters students can choose either 490Y or 599Y but must keep in mind that the course will not count toward their 5 course requirement at the 500-level. The course does not count as a "capstone" course for undergraduate CompE majors. It can be used to meet the CSE Senior Elective requirement for undergraduates. Syllabus/Schedule: MW 5:00-6:20 (note time schedule may say 6:00, it is 6:20) in CSE403. Week 1: Goals, Objectives, Projects, Intro to ICTD Week 2: Android overview - tutorial assignment with extension Week 3: AppEngine overview - tutorial assignment with extension Week 4: Tying mobile and cloud together - challenging assignment to demonstrate how the clients/cloud communicate Week 5: Project selection Weeks 6-10: Project meetings with instructors, get feedback from collaborators, design documentation - project group size up to 2, possibly 3, not 4 Week 11: Final demos Grading: based on Week 2-4 assignments and project (including documentation, design rationale, interaction in group meetings, and demonstration) Instructors: Yaw Anokwa and Carl Hartung, CSE graduate students and ODK developers (supervised by Gaetano Borriello) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
