  <Title>Google Summer of Code AND FOSS Outreach Program for Women</Title>
  <Tagline>Deadline is March 21 for Googe and March 19 for FOSS.</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is software that gives the user the
     freedom to use, copy, study, change, and improve it. FOSS contributors 
    believe that this is the best way to develop software because it 
    benefits society, creates a fun collaborative community around a 
    project, and allows anyone to make innovative changes that reach many 
    people.<br>
    
    <br>
    Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers students stipends 
    to write code for FOSS projects. Participants work remotely from home, 
    while getting guidance from an assigned mentor and collaborating within 
    their project's community. The application deadline for Google Summer of
     Code is <span><span>March 21</span></span> and the program dates are <span><span>May 19 to August 18</span></span>. The stipend for the program is $5,500 (USD).<br>
    
    <br>
    <a href="http://code.google.com/soc" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://code.google.com/soc</a><br>
    <br>
    In an effort to improve the gender diversity in FOSS, a number of 
    organizations are offering Outreach Program for Women internships 
    through a program organized by the GNOME Foundation. These internships 
    are open to women (cis and trans) and genderqueer. The internships have 
    the same structure, the same stipend and similar program dates. The 
    application deadline for the Outreach Program for Women is <span><span>March 19</span></span> and the program dates are <span><span>May 19 to August 18</span></span>.
     Unlike in Google Summer of Code, participants do not need to be 
    students and non-coding projects are available. In addition to coding, 
    projects include such tasks as graphic design, user experience design, 
    documentation, bug triage and community engagement.<br>
    
    <br>
    <a href="http://gnome.org/opw" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://gnome.org/opw</a><br>
    <br>
    To apply for either program, you need to connect with a participating 
    organization early, select a project you want to work on, create a 
    project plan, and make a few relevant contributions.<br>
    <br>
    The mentorship opportunities are also available throughout the year for 
    anyone interested in getting started contributing to FOSS outside of the
     formal internship program. In addition to the organizations 
    participating in the Outreach Program for Women, more organizations that
     offer informal mentorship to all newcomers are listed here:<br>
    
    <br>
    <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/Mentors" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/Mentors</a><br>
    <br>
    Please consider applying for Google Summer of Code or FOSS Outreach 
    Program for Women, encourage someone else to apply, or help spread the 
    word by forwarding this message to any interested university and 
    community groups.</div>

    <Title>CWIT Spring Into Leadership Planning Committee</Title>
    <Tagline>Help plan this event, celebrating women in IT &amp; engineering!</Tagline>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">The annual CWIT Spring Into Leadership event is just over a 
          month away and we could use the help of a few Affiliates in the rest of 
          the planning.  <strong>We will have a planning committee meeting from 12-12:50pm on Wednesday, March 12 (one week from today) in ITE 456.</strong> 
          <br>
          <br><strong>We will also have a planning committee on Wednesday, March 26, from 12-12:50pm in ITE 456.  </strong>If we need one more meeting after that, we will schedule it later.<br><br>In
           these meetings, we will decide on how the networking piece of the event
           should work, whether you think we should have a theme to the event this
           year, what kinds of topics you think our keynote speaker should address
           in her talk, ideas for an interactive piece we could work with the 
          speaker to incorporate in her talk, etc.<br>
          <br>Even if you can only make one of the two scheduled dates, we 
          encourage you to attend the one you can make; everyone's input will be 
          valuable in making these decisions for the event.<br><br>Spring Into Leadership will be held on Tuesday, April 8, from 6:30-8 p.m. in the UC Ballroom.  You may RSVP at the website attached to this post to attend this event.  For the planning committee meetings, no RSVP is necessary.  <br><br><br>

  <Title>Researcher of the Week: Stephen DiBenedetto</Title>
  <Tagline>Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Meet Stephen. He is a Computer Engineering and a current URA (Undergraduate Research Award) Scholar. His research will study the development of a unique underwater signal reflection-enabled, acoustic-based localization scheme that employs both a line-of-sight and surface-reflected non-line-of-sight ranging information to locate undefined reference points.<br><br><strong>How did you find your mentor for your research, scholarship, or artistic project?</strong><br>Dr. Younis taught my introductory Computer Engineering class where he spoke of his own research. I toured his lab the following semester and quickly began to involve myself in his lab. <br><br><strong>How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?</strong><br>Honestly, I didn’t know this was a project that I wanted to do, yet after speaking with my mentor I felt that this would be a perfect field to begin working in based on the classes I had taken and what I hadn’t taken yet. <br><br><strong>Is this your first independent research project?</strong><br>No, I previously worked on 2 different research projects. The first was at Montana State University during the summer following my sophomore year. This research dealt with radio beam-form transmissions and the automation of radio equipment. My second research project was conducted at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, where I was working with robotics. <br><br><strong>How much time do you put into it?</strong><br>I work roughly 10hrs/week during the school semester, and I worked 40hrs/week over the summer.<br><br><strong>How did you hear about the Undergraduate Research Award (URA) program?</strong><br>I had seen numerous student profiles listing participation with the URA program and I felt that the URA was just what I needed to help fund my research. <br><br><strong>What academic background did you have before you applied for the URA?</strong><br>I applied as a junior, so I had already had all my basic computer engineering classes, as well as most of the electrical engineering classes needed for this type of research.<br><br><strong>Was the application difficult to do?</strong><br>The application was not difficult at all. As long as you have some background within your research area, the application is very straightforward. <br><br><strong>How much did your mentor help you with the application?</strong><br>My mentor answered questions that I wasn’t able to, and also provided me with draft fixes so that my answers were as accurate as possible.<br><br><strong>What has been the hardest part about your research?</strong> <br>Starting the code development of the MATLAB test bed. After hearing how complicated the simulation has to be, along with the amount of mathematics involved, I felt somewhat intimidated with what we would have to create. So far the simulation has been going well, and is already providing great results <br><br><strong>What was the most unexpected thing?</strong> <br>The most unexpected thing has been the amount of time required to accomplish the tasks at hand. I have spent a lot more time in lab then I had originally thought I would be spending.<br><br><strong>How does your research relate to your work in other classes?</strong><br>My research entails underwater localization, which by itself is something I have never had a class on. The math involved however, along with the circuitry, programing, and paper writing all relates back to classes I have had within the Computer Engineering department. <br><br><strong>What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?</strong> <br>First, make sure you have the time to dedicate to working in a lab. When you are not in the lab collecting data, you will be conducting background research, writing papers and logs, emailing data back and forth, and keeping a constant communication with your mentor(s). Also, make sure the subject you are working within is something that you can see yourself working in further into your future. I have spoken with multiple researchers and companies that I may have opportunities to work with after I attain my degree, and it is all thanks to the research involvement I have now.<br><br><strong>What are your career goals?</strong><br>After I obtain my Bachelor of Science, I would like to attain both an electrical engineering graduate degree and an engineering license. I would like to start my career within the private energy sector as an engineer, where I hope to work with the nationwide energy grid.<br><br><strong>Did you transfer to UMBC from another institution? Where?</strong><br><p>No, I have been with UMBC since my freshman year.</p>

  <Title>Hands-on Raspberry Pi workshop, 2-4 Friday March 7, ITE240</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><img alt="" src="http://www.csee.umbc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/modela.png" width="700" height="308" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>The UMBC Council of Computing Majors will hold its first hands-on Raspberry Pi workshop from 2:00-4:00 this Friday, March 7, in ITE240.</p>
    <p>The <a href="http://raspberrypi.org/)" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Raspberry Pi</a> is a $35 credit-card-sized, single-board computer that runs a version of Unix. Originally developed for teaching computer programming to children, it is now being used in many useful and exciting applications, from near-space weather balloons to baby monitors to media servers. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.</p>
    <p>The initial workshop will cover the Raspberry Pi, its Raspbian Unix OS, and how to program it using Python for real-world applications. There will be 20 Pi computers for participants to use. The workshop is designed so freshman and non-computer science majors can attend and participate. If you know anyone who would be interested in attending, please send them the link and information!</p>
    <p>Space is limited, so <a href="http://bit.ly/UMBCpi" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">sign up</a> to reserve a seat.  Intermediate and advanced workshops will follow later in the semester. See the <a href="http://raspberrypi.org/faqs" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Pi FAQ</a> for general information on the Pi and <a href="http://raspbian.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Raspbian</a> for information on its operating system.</p>

    <p>The UMBC Council of Computing Majors will hold its first hands-on Raspberry Pi workshop from 2:00-4:00 this Friday, March 7, in ITE240.</p>
    <p>The <a href="http://raspberrypi.org/)" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Raspberry Pi</a> is a $35 credit-card-sized, single-board computer that runs a version of Unix. Originally developed for teaching computer programming to children, it is now being used in many useful and exciting applications, from near-space weather balloons to baby monitors to media servers. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.</p>
    <p>The initial workshop will cover the Raspberry Pi, its Raspbian Unix OS, and how to program it using Python for real-world applications. There will be 20 Pi computers for participants to use. The workshop is designed so freshman and non-computer science majors can attend and participate. If you know anyone who would be interested in attending, please send them the link and information!</p>
    <p>Space is limited, so <a href="http://bit.ly/UMBCpi" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">sign up</a> to reserve a seat.  Intermediate and advanced workshops will follow later in the semester. See the <a href="http://raspberrypi.org/faqs" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Pi FAQ</a> for general information on the Pi and <a href="http://raspbian.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Raspbian</a> for information on its operating system.</p>

          <h2>Learning and Optimization for Complex Dynamic Networks: The<br>
          Cases of Future Power Systems and Cognitive Wireless Networks</h2>
          <h2>Dr. Seung-Jun Kim, University of Minnesota</h2>
          <h3>11:45-12:45 Tuesday, 11 March 2014, ITE325b, UMBC</h3>
          <p>With enormous growth in sensing and communication capabilities as well as processing power to analyze collected data, we are witnessing exciting opportunities in diverse disciplines to study complex interactions of networked entities. The overarching theme is to explore cutting-edge computational intelligence tools from signal processing, machine learning, optimization, and control to make sense of amassed data and exploit complex interactions to make significant real-world impacts. In this talk, I will make cases for two prime examples, namely, future power systems and cognitive wireless networks. The role of contemporary tools including online learning, sparse and low-dimensional models, distributed and robust algorithms, will be emphasized.</p>
