Higher Education Outreach
- Our
Professional
Masters Program, geared for fully employed professionals in the
state's burgeoning information technology industry, enrolls
roughly 150 students and graduates roughly 50 students annually.
Internet-based distance learning is used extensively.
- We are active in various aspects of the
UW-Bothell
Computing & Software Systems Program and
UW-Tacoma's
Institute of Technology.
- Working with UW Professional and Continuing Education, we offer multi-course
Certificate
Programs in C Programming, C++ Programming, Client/Server
Management, Data Communications,
Managing Network Operations, Multimedia, Software Engineering,
Software Product Management, and other specializations.
In 2010, more than 1,000 students participated in more than 3 dozen
different certificate programs, generating more than 3,000 course
enrollments.
- We work closely with Washington's community and technical colleges and develop online course materials,
course equivalency certification, email bboards to foster
interaction, and transfer information.
- UW CSE faculty participated in the design of the computer
science curriculum for
Ashesi University
in Ghana.
Ashesi University offers four-year bachelors
degrees in computer science and business administration,
based on a liberal arts core curriculum.
The business administration curriculum was designed
by faculty from the Haas School at Berkeley;
the liberal arts core curriculum was designed by
faculty from Swarthmore College.
K-12 Outreach
- Working with UW Information Technology, the
state Department of Information Services, the state Information
Services Board, and our colleagues throughout the education
sector, we played a leading role in designing and
implementing the Washington K-20
Educational Telecommunications Network.
Our contributions to the design and implementation
of a metropolitan-area network for the Seattle Public
Schools was recognized with the 1997 "A+ Partnership
Award" from the Alliance for Education. (See a
University
Week article, and a
KOMO
TV video (0:33,
in Microsoft
Media Player format) shown at the awards ceremony.)
- We have contributed to the definition of the
UWired
Teaching, Learning, and Technology program,
a modular curriculum on educational technology
for K-12 teachers, as well as to the establishment
of the
UW
K-12 Institute for Science, Math, and Technology Education.
- We participated in the establishment of the
Smart
Tools Academy, an effort of the University of Washington and the
Technology Alliance, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
which is providing each of Washington's 2500 K-12 principals and superintendents
with a 4-day residential seminar on the use of technology to enhance
teaching and learning.
