9. 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.

15. 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. For more information, visit the Cal Poly News website.

11. IME 457 - RFID System Design - Offered in Spring 2016 – Valid Tech Elective
This class is a valid Tech Elective for CPE students
Tali Freed will offer the RFID System Design class again next quarter. This is truly an interdisciplinary class. Although it's a 400-level class, it isn't limited to seniors. Students can take it if they are passionate about the topic and are willing to work. I have had freshmen and graduate students on teams together, doing a fantastic job designing systems, as well as enriching each other. Since the students design and build working RFID systems, the class has 6 hours of lab. However, I offer students some flexibility w.r.t. lab time. One option is to attend lab on both Monday and Wednesday. If, however, one of the lab times conflicts with their other classes, they are allowed to attend lab at other times. I offer about 20 hours of open lab, where either I or one of my assistants is present and can help the students with their projects. We keep track of attendance.

12. EE544 & EE431: VLSI and VLSI lab
Those doing EE307 right now or that plan on taking it next quarter (or those that are past EE307) and are interested in integrated circuit design, EE544 might be something to think about. EE544 was scheduled in Spring so that the people that taped out (fabricated) a chip for Fall 2015's EE431 could test their chips. This year the fabrication schedule was tough to meet and there were no chips taped out. So there went the reason to hold this class.... The result is Tina Smilkstein am changing the content of EE544 a bit to make it useful to those interested in possibly pursuing integrated circuits. Smilkstein will support two groups:
1. People that are interested in taking EE431 in the Fall. I'll get you started on the software and have you design a chip that is "testable". Getting a head start on the software means you'll get 3 extra weeks to spend on the EE431 project in the Fall.
2. People that have already taken EE431 can work on a more in-depth project.
If you have a third idea, Smilkstein am happy to listen.
Smilkstein would still take everyone through the labs and equipment for testing as they would have done if the EE431 people actual did have a chip to test.
A note to CPEs: EE431 is more of a design class and the "EE" part of the name shouldn't deter you if you want to try your hand at design. We do talk about some R, L and C details but much of the class is about algorithms that the software uses, how to use the software, ways to make a chip testable and design approaches. The lab is all about learning the software and doing a design of your choice.

13. CPE 436-Mobile Application Development
The Computer Science Department has just added a new course to the Spring schedule CPE 436-Mobile Application Development. There are two sections and they are both available now on PASS. The Mobile Application focus for both sections will be Android.

14. NRC Research Associateship Programs
The NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) promote excellence in scientific and technological research conducted by the U.S. government through the administration of programs offering graduate, postdoctoral, and senior level research opportunities at sponsoring federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. In the NRC Research Associateship Programs, prospective applicants select a research project or projects from among a large group of Research Opportunities available through the website.

15. 2016 Charles P. Lake/Rain for Rent Scholarship Program
Rain for Rent is pleased to announce its 2016 Scholarship Program. The Charles P. Lake/Rain for Rent Scholarship was established in honor of the company’s founder who passed away in August of 1988 at the age of 94. Mr. Lake started Western Oilfields Supply Company in 1934 to supply used equipment to the local oilfields. Mr. Lake was well-traveled, well-read and involved in community activities — president of the Kern County Board of Trade and Bakersfield Rotary. He believed in education and supported the construction of the Kern County Beale Library. In his memory, the Charles P. Lake/Rain for Rent Scholarship was established in 1988. Over the years the scholarship has grown to providing thirty-five scholarships in the amount of $1,500.00 each annually to qualified students to help them pursue a career in agriculture, engineering or construction management.

We make power design fun! With our innovative proprietary technology processes, we thrive on re-imagining and re-defining the possibilities of high-performance power solutions in industrial applications, telecom infrastructures, cloud computing, automotive, and consumer applications.
Where we come from:
It started with a vision. Michael Hsing, pioneering engineer and CEO, founded Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. in 1997 with the belief that an entire power system could be integrated onto a single chip. Under his leadership, MPS has succeeded not only in developing a monolithic power module that truly integrates an entire power system in a single package, but also it continues to defy industry expectations with its patented groundbreaking technologies.

11. IME 457 - RFID System Design - Offered in Spring 2016 – Valid Tech Elective
This class is a valid Tech Elective for CPE students
Tali Freed will offer the RFID System Design class again next quarter. This is truly an interdisciplinary class. Although it's a 400-level class, it isn't limited to seniors. Students can take it if they are passionate about the topic and are willing to work. I have had freshmen and graduate students on teams together, doing a fantastic job designing systems, as well as enriching each other. Since the students design and build working RFID systems, the class has 6 hours of lab. However, I offer students some flexibility w.r.t. lab time. One option is to attend lab on both Monday and Wednesday. If, however, one of the lab times conflicts with their other classes, they are allowed to attend lab at other times. I offer about 20 hours of open lab, where either I or one of my assistants is present and can help the students with their projects. We keep track of attendance.

12. EE544 & EE431: VLSI and VLSI lab
Those doing EE307 right now or that plan on taking it next quarter (or those that are past EE307) and are interested in integrated circuit design, EE544 might be something to think about. EE544 was scheduled in Spring so that the people that taped out (fabricated) a chip for Fall 2015's EE431 could test their chips. This year the fabrication schedule was tough to meet and there were no chips taped out. So there went the reason to hold this class.... The result is Tina Smilkstein am changing the content of EE544 a bit to make it useful to those interested in possibly pursuing integrated circuits. Smilkstein will support two groups:
1. People that are interested in taking EE431 in the Fall. I'll get you started on the software and have you design a chip that is "testable". Getting a head start on the software means you'll get 3 extra weeks to spend on the EE431 project in the Fall.
2. People that have already taken EE431 can work on a more in-depth project.
If you have a third idea, Smilkstein am happy to listen.
Smilkstein would still take everyone through the labs and equipment for testing as they would have done if the EE431 people actual did have a chip to test.
A note to CPEs: EE431 is more of a design class and the "EE" part of the name shouldn't deter you if you want to try your hand at design. We do talk about some R, L and C details but much of the class is about algorithms that the software uses, how to use the software, ways to make a chip testable and design approaches. The lab is all about learning the software and doing a design of your choice.

15. 2016 Charles P. Lake/Rain for Rent Scholarship Program
Rain for Rent is pleased to announce its 2016 Scholarship Program. The Charles P. Lake/Rain for Rent Scholarship was established in honor of the company’s founder who passed away in August of 1988 at the age of 94. Mr. Lake started Western Oilfields Supply Company in 1934 to supply used equipment to the local oilfields. Mr. Lake was well-traveled, well-read and involved in community activities — president of the Kern County Board of Trade and Bakersfield Rotary. He believed in education and supported the construction of the Kern County Beale Library. In his memory, the Charles P. Lake/Rain for Rent Scholarship was established in 1988. Over the years the scholarship has grown to providing thirty-five scholarships in the amount of $1,500.00 each annually to qualified students to help them pursue a career in agriculture, engineering or construction management.
