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 the fall
quarter’s 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. The past quarter, we developed and refined
those ideas into detailed implementation plans for the spring quarter (the
CSE477 CompE capstone design course). This quarter it is time to turn these ideas
into working prototypes.
See our reading list
and notes
from fall quarter and our winter quarter schedule.
