Higher Education Outreach
- Our
Professional
Masters Program, geared for fully employed professionals in the
state's burgeoning information technology industry, enrolls
roughly 120 students and graduates roughly 40 students annually.
Internet-based distance learning is used extensively.
- We are active in various aspects of the
UW-Bothell
Computing & Software Systems Program -- a
"four-year completion program" closely articulated with
the region's community colleges.
- More recently, we have been involved in the creation of
UW-Tacoma's
Computing & Software Systems Program
- Working with UW Educational Outreach, we offer multi-course
Certificate
Programs in C Programming, C++ Programming, Client/Server
Management, Data Communications,
Managing Network Operations,
Microcomputers and Networks, Multimedia, Software Engineering,
Software Product Management, and other specializations.
These programs generated more than 3,500 course
enrollments in 1998-99.
- 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 have designed 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 Computing & Communications, the
state Department of Information Services, the state Information
Services Board, and our colleagues throughout the education
sector, we are playing 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.
