CETA Co-Hosting Computer Conference

On Friday, April 16, and Saturday, April 17, Computer Engineering in CETA and the Computer Science Department in the College of Arts & Sciences are hosting the 15th Annual Northeast Computing Conference of the Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges. The conference brings together faculty, staff, and students from academic institutions throughout the northeastern region of the United States for discussions and presentations about undergraduate computing curricula. Various vendors, including booksellers, will also attend this event.
Of particular note are an undergraduate student poster presentation session and a programming contest for students. It is expected that more than 100 students will attend.

The chairs of the conference are Dr. Hisham Alnajjar, Professor of Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering and associate dean of CETA, and Dr. Ingrid Russell, professor of computer science.

The Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges focuses on promoting high-quality computer curricula and the effective use of computing in smaller post-secondary institutions that are generally oriented toward teaching. It supports activities that help faculty decide about computing resources and educational applications of computer technology. Because departments in smaller colleges and universities are typically small, the Consortium also encourages sharing of expertise, effective curricula, and efficient technology applications. The goal is to promote the betterment of computer-oriented curricula in both two- and four-year colleges, to improve the use of computing as a resource for all disciplines, and to promote a national discussion among various organizations working toward the same purpose.
