Engineering Student Council Applications Open

The time has come again for some new Engineering Student Council board representatives! ESC is the bridge between students and the dean’s office, making sure that no voices are left unheard. Our council also works with engineering clubs to create a closer-knit club community within CENG. Additionally, ESC holds on a week-long celebration called eWeek to promote STEM fields and much more! Joining ESC is a great way to earn valuable leadership experience. If you are interested in applying for a board position (which I highly encourage!) please fill out this interest form.

Upcoming talk: Predictive Policing and the Demands of Justice

 

Dr. Duncan Purves, University of Florida

Thursday, May 3, 11:10 AM – 12 PM in Baker 180–114

 

Predictive algorithms are increasingly used by police departments in the United States to anticipate and deter criminal activity by identifying geographic regions that are at high risk for crime. The use of so-called place-based predictive algorithms in policing has faced negative public attention but very little academic scrutiny. Dr. Purves offers a qualified defense of the moral permissibility of using predictive algorithms in policing. He argues that the use of so-called place-based predictive policing algorithms is compatible in principle with the demands of justice. However, when predictive policing algorithms go beyond prediction, to establish reasonable suspicion for search and seizure, they violate the principle of equality before the law by exposing innocent members of geographically disadvantaged groups to greater risk of mistaken conviction.

Sponsors: College of Liberal Arts, with additional support by CSSE

12:30pm-4:30pm Static Timing Analysis FPGA Workshop: This workshop consists of a two hour lecture/exercise session followed by a two hour lab training the fundamentals of timing analysis for digital electronics. The student will learn the foundation of timing constraints and how to calculate timing “slack” through a number of paper and pencil exercises to understand how timing margin is calculated. The second portion of this workshop will focus on Intel’s Quartus Timing Analysis tools to give the student hands on knowledge of writing timing constraints, analyzing timing slack, and working on corrective methods to improve timing margin of digital designs implemented in FPGAs.
