CSE490D (CSE477 Design Studio) – Winter 2008 (W 4:30-6:20, CSE 403)

Technology for Low-Income Regions

Part II: Design Studio (second part of a three-quarter sequence)

This seminar is the second quarter of a three quarter sequence that will form a year-long capstone design experience.

1.        Fall: an exploration phase to identify interesting problems

2.        Winter: a brainstorming phase to come up with and evaluate possible solutions

3.        Spring: an implementation phase to actually create robust prototypes

 

The theme for the course is "Technology for Low-Income Regions".  In last quarter seminar we used a set of readings to familiarize ourselves with several interesting problem domains.  By the end of the quarter, we had determined some possible project ideas.  This quarter, we’ll be developing and refining those ideas into detailed implementation plans for the spring quarter (the CSE477 CompE capstone design course).

 

See our reading list and notes from last quarter.
