Colloquia
The Colloquium series presents talks from a variety of experts in Computer Science and related disciplines. All full-time graduate students are expected to attend. Colloquia are usually held on Fridays at 11 a.m. during the term. The start of the Fall Semester is reserved for Research Bytes. For a list of all upcoming dates, see the department's planning calendar.

KinickiLauer: An Open Discussion on Issues Related to Teaching Computer Science Topics to Non-Majors at WPI
Friday, 5/16/2008 11:00 AM-12:00 PM
Washburn Shops & Stoddard Laboratories, WB 229
In this colloquium we hope to openly discuss the current course structure in the introductory Computer Science courses designed to provide non-majors (with some emphasis on engineering majors) with the proper background that will enable engineering graduates to be prepared for their careers where they face a technical world that increasingly includes both using computers as tools and the ability to program using modern programming languages and interfaces. After a few introductory comments by Professors Lauer and Kinicki, the colloquium will proceed as an open discussion on how the CS Department curriculum might be adjusted to better serve WPI engineering students.
