1. SLO Hacks 2020
SLO Hacks 2020, Cal Poly's
largest student-run hackathon, is happening on February 28-March 1! If you’ve
ever wanted to create an app, design your dream game, or practice your pitching
skills, this is the event for you. We'll also have a lot of opportunities to
network and even find an internship/full-time job with our corporate sponsors.
We accept all majors and skill levels, and hope that you’re excited for 36
hours of making your ideas come to life.
Applications close TODAY, February 7th.

2. 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.

3. CPE 316 for Spring 2020
New this Spring, CPE 316!
CPE 316 is an approved substitution for CPE 329 and provides an early
opportunity for CPE students to obtain experience with embedded systems earlier
in the curriculum. This class is similar in content as CPE 329 but with
additional focus on good practices in embedded systems programming.
For Spring 2020, Dr.
Oliver will be teaching two sections: MWF 10-noon and MWF 2-4pm. The catalog
description is:
CPE 316: Microcontrollers and Embedded
Applications.4 units
Term Typically Offered: F,
SP
Prerequisite: CPE 357.
Corequisite: EE 211.
Introduction to
microcontrollers and their applications as embedded devices. Hardware/software
tradeoffs, microcontroller selection, use of on-chip and off-chip peripherals,
interrupt driven real-time operation, A/D conversion, serial and parallel
communications, watch-dog timers, and low power operation. Not open to students

4. CENG CPx Dialog Sessions
The College of Engineering
invites you to attend a dialog session about the results of the CPx survey
conducted last spring.
CENG Dialogue #2 –
Creating Community and Tracking Progress
Friday, 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.
