4. Student Lab Admin Needed for Cisco Lab | Paid Position

Prof. Smith is looking for a student to be the lab admin for the Cisco lab.   This person will help with the planned lab equipment upgrade and maintaining the current equipment.   This is a paid position.

The minimum requirements include some linux and networking experience and the ability to work this spring quarter and all of next academic year.  It will be between 0 and 10 hours per week and is pretty flexible.

If you are interested please send an email to Prof. Smith at husmith@calpoly.edu or stop by his office hours (in 14-216) on Tuesday from 2-4 pm

5. Apple Computer is Looking for Software Developer Intern

We write factory diagnostics for all current and upcoming Mac products. Essentially, each member on the team owns a few technologies and we write tests that interface with those hardware components. When a computer is being built in the factory it will run our tests to ensure everything is working, and if not, we debug along with software and hardware teams to figure out what is going wrong (this means a couple trips to China a year). If you take your Mac into AppleCare, they will also run our tests to determine if a hardware component is failing. The code is a combination of C and Objective-C, but I really didn't have much experience in Objective-C when I started. I would say the job is about 50% Coding, 30% Looking at hardware diagrams, 10% Meetings, 10% Talking with/Going to China.

7. Talk on Global Water Crisis to be Held April 6 | Spanos Theater | 7pm

Author Seth Siegel will present “The Imminent Global Water Crisis” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 6, in Spanos Theatre. Siegel, a board member of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, is the author of “Let There Be Water,” a recently published book in which he describes the world’s water crisis and posits that Israel’s water engineering and innovative processes can provide a solution. The U.S. government predicts that 40 of its 50 states — and 60 percent of the Earth's land surface — will soon face alarming gaps between the supply and growing demand for water. Without immediate action, it is anticipated that food prices will rise, economic growth will slow, and political instability will likely result.
