1. NEW CLUB: Computing for Developing Countries and Marginalized
People
New Group! Computing for
Developing Countries and Marginalized People
80% of the world population and
99% of global growth is in developing countries. Common challenges facing these communities
include poverty, nutrition, health, education, economic vulnerability, violence
against women, water/sanitation, energy, pollution, climate change. There are many existing groups doing great
work on addressing these problems. However, most of these groups are not
focused on utilizing computing and emerging technologies, including many of the
recent advances in computing. We are
forming a new interdisciplinary group at Cal Poly to address this gap.
We are looking for excited
students to become the founding members of the club. Anyone, including freshman
and sophomores, is invited to join and become a club officer. This club is
primarily addressing the lack of EE/CPE/CSC major-related project-based groups
but ALL majors are welcome and encouraged to join. Not only is this a great
resume builder, but it’s also a great outlet to use your academic skill set to
participate in real projects helping real people.

CENG Dialogue #2 –
Creating Community and Tracking Progress
TODAY, February 14,
1:00pm-3:00pm in ATL (building 007)
These workshop-style
events intend to help us collectively process the results from the CPx survey
and generate ideas on how we can take action to foster a more just, equitable,
diverse and inclusive college community. The ideas generated as part of these listening
sessions will be incorporated into the College of Engineering Justice, Equity,
Diversity, and Inclusion Action Plan and will hold us accountable to each
other. The session is open to all members of the college community. While we
encourage you to attend both sessions, we understand that some may only be able
to attend one.
