Update on CETI Software Engineering Capstone and Applied Research Colloquium

by Rajiv Ramnath — last modified 2007-10-09 19:46

This note is firstly to let you know that the Software Engineering Capstone Project course is being offered again this quarter, and you will be receiving notifications regarding and invitations to the midterm, final and poster presentations as they get arrange. Students complained of the predominance of web-development projects (incidentally these skills are now being considered commodity skills by our students, believe it or not!), and hence this quarter I was lucky to acquire 3 very different projects:

  • Grange Insurance has given us (under NDA) an installation of their entire claims processing systems, and students are attempting to locate and repair areas of extreme performance slowdown, as well as to identify ways the system may be usefully re-architected.
  • The Science and Engineering Library is creating a Digital Union that will encompass the entire 3rd floor of the library (approximately 20000 sq. ft.), where students can seamlessly encounter, use, program and learn about advanced digital technologies. Our Capstone students are devising ways to physically and electronically secure this area, allow for easy asset inventories and so on.
  • The Special Education and Literacy department at OSU is working with us on a project to develop an electronic reading environment for elementary school children. Students will be working with voice recognition and playback toolkits to develop a usable system for these children.
Also wanted to let you know about another of our activities. It has always been part of the CETI mission to connect small-to-medium information technology companies with OSU - so that they may take advantage of the expertise at OSU and connect with our excellent students. In return, they make us aware of their technological advances and concerns, and serve as a potential source of internships and sponsorships for applied research and theses projects. To that end, we have several small companies making in-depth presentations in our CETI Applied Research Colloquium. The program for this quarter is on the link below:
Please do take a look at the companies and the topics. If any of you folks would like to attend a session or more, let me know. Folks like Brad run small companies themselves - it would be great if you would like to take part in this. Also, some of you on this mailing list already participate in this colloquium. Hence this would be a repeat message, for which I apologize.

Finally, profiles of our current cohort of MS and PhD graduate students is on this link:
Regards,

Rajiv
