This is a wonderful opportunity for undergraduate students to get some research and work experience in the computer science area. Passionate on Parallel introduces students to parallel computing and to the research problems that can be addressed with parallel computing tools. Students will enjoy a week-long parallel computing course, pursue research with faculty members, and receive $500/week plus housing and a food allowance. Applications can be accessed at Illinois Passionate on Parallel REU and are due by February 25^th . Passionate on Parallel strongly encourages women and under-represented students to apply. This REU is co-funded by the ASSURE program of the Department of Defense in partnership with the National Science Foundation REU Site program. Please consider forwarding this email on to a student (or two) that you would recommend for this opportunity. Any other announcements you can make of this program to your students would also be greatly appreciated.

If any of you are interested in doing summer research we highly recommend that first you take this opportunity to try and do summer research in an area of your interest at another institution. This will give you more breadth and experience than what the department can offer. Students have done this in the past have told us that this was an extremely valuable and formative experience for them. For those who still desire to stay at Bryn Mawr, the summer research program your option. You should be talking to faculty in the department for projects for this summer. If you decide to apply, please be sure to do the required paperwork for the Summer Science Research program.

I am enclosing a generic description below, and also some more specifics that were sent to me. They would love to see some bright Bryn Mawr students join them this coming Fall semester. Deepak. --- Dear Students, We're writing to let you know about a new and very exciting study abroad program for students with interests in computer science and software engineering. The program is called AIT (Acquincum Institute of Technology). The campus is on a lovely part of the Danube River in Budapest, Hungary. The program is friendly and intimate, enrolling between 30-50 students per semester, primarily from U.S. colleges and universities and with some Hungarian students as well. All classes are taught in English by prominent and enthusiastic Hungarian professors. Classes are small (5-15 students is typical) and cover a breadth of topics including: * Core courses in computer science; * Elective CS courses such as computer vision for digital film post-production (taught by faculty affiliates from Colorfront, recent winner of a Technical and Scientific Oscar Award) and computational biology; * Courses in IT entrepreneurship; and * Courses in design (including a studio course taught by Erno Rubik, inventor of the Rubik's cube). The program also offers a variety of extra-curricular activities including opportunities to explore Hungary and Europe. More information on the program is available atwww.ait-budapest.com. Applications for Spring 2011 are due on October 15. We hope that you will consider this program for this spring or some future semester. In the meantime, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us (Professor Ran Libeskind-Hadas,hadas@cs.hmc.edu and Professor Michael Orrison,orrison@hmc.edu ) or the AIT North America office atinfo@ait-budapest.com . ---other info sent to me--- --- > The faculty of AIT is first-rate, including professors like > Erno Rubik (inventor of the Rubik's Cube and recent recipient of the > U.S. Outstanding Contributions to Science Education Award) and Peter > Szeredi, one of the original developers of Prolog.

Summer Research Opportunity EXPLORING OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE - DEVELOPMENT AND EFFICACY OF ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE (NSF Award Number 0851569). The enormous growth of open source software presents both challenges and opportunities for computer science research and education. Preparation for careers in computing will require new ways of thinking about software design that meet the needs of the open source community. The overarching theme of this REU site is the improvement of computer science instruction through the development of more effective open source online learning systems that address the unique requirements of Computer Science. The JHAVE algorithm visualization project, based at the REU site, is a highly interactive approach to online learning in computer science and will provide the foundation for the open source exploration. Within that context, two research threads will allow participants to create a project aligned with their interests: 1) Design and development focused on new features for JHAVE and its integration with other open source projects such as Connexions (http://cnx.org) and 2) Experiments that evaluate the efficacy of these development efforts on instruction in computer science. Projects will incorporate interdisciplinary perspectives from computer science, software engineering, and education. Students from the computing disciplines are encouraged to apply, but our research projects also offer opportunities for educational psychology and education majors with strong computing backgrounds, specifically at least two semesters of object-oriented programming in Java. This summer's program will start on June 1, 2011 and run through July 27, 2011. Participants will receive stipends of at least $4000 for the eight-week period, travel expenses, and complete support for on-campus lodging and food. Additional funds will be provided for those participants who extend their research project by submitting it to one of several possible external venues. Application materials are due no later than February 28. Applicants will be notified of acceptance decisions no later than March 28.

LeAnn Erickson *Venue:* Bryn Mawr Film Institute, 824 West Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr, PA *Date/Time:* Wednesday, March 2, 2011 at 7:30p *Admission:* Free and open to public Q&A with /Rosies/ director *LeAnn Erickson* will follow the screening. * * *Synopsis:* In 1942 a secret US military program was launched to recruit women to the war effort. But unlike the efforts to recruit Rosie to the factory, this search targeted female mathematicians who would become human 'computers' for the US Army. From the bombing of Axis Europe to the assaults on Japanese strongholds, women worked six days a week, around-the-clock creating ballistics tables that proved crucial to Allied success. Rosie made the weapons, but the female computers made them accurate. When the first electronic computer (ENIAC) was developed to aid the Army's calculation efforts, six of these women were tapped to become its first programmers. Top Secret Rosies incorporates the stories of four very different women who worked as human computers at the University of Pennsylvania from 1942-1946, but does more than simply document the factual lives of a literally 'dying breed'- the participants of the WWII era. Using the 16x9 HD screen as a canvas, the project attempts to capture the opportunities and exhilaration of the times but also the moral dilemma inherent in their work as these human 'computers' labored night and day to create the mathematical computations that made every Allied bomb and bullet more deadly. In 1942 when computers were human and women were underestimated, a group of female mathematicians helped win a war and usher in the modern computer age. *RSVP on Facebook:* http://on.fb.me/ik2mQ9 *Film web site:* http://www.topsecretrosies.com/Top_Secret_Rosies/Home.html This is a FLICS (Fantastic Lectures in Computer Science) Event. -- Deepak Kumar Professor of Computer Science Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 dkumar@cs.brynmawr.edu, dkumar@acm.org http://www.cs.brynmawr.edu/~dkumar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
