  A second team of CSE master's students including Ari Fogel and Praneeta Prakash is working with Buffalo-based Applied Sciences Group (ASG) to develop a speech-generating software system that will enable nonverbal veterans to communicate with each other and caregivers; e-mail; text message; call friends via Skype; and complete tasks such as controlling the lights or TV via their computer.

  Both teams worked under the aegis of the Center for Socially Relevant Computing (CSRC), co-founded by CSE teaching assistant professors Michael F. Buckley and Kris Schindler. An interview with Buckley about how students design technologies to solve real-world problems can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zNLzarzxWc.

• December 5-11 is Computer Science Education Week

  Computing has moved on from super-computers to the more ubiquitous devices such as smartphones and cars. In our increasingly information-reliant world, computing plays a part from acquisition of data (e.g. data from volcanoes and vitals signs from humans) to analysis of data (e.g. figuring out objects of interest in images or videos and retrieving webpages of interest from the Internet) to reliable storage of data (e.g. storing data in the "cloud"). In addition to these direct applications, computing is increasingly playing a key role in other areas such as assistive technology for the handicapped and elder populations and technology for people in underdeveloped areas.

  The ubiquity of computing is reflected in the excellent career opportunities in this field. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that the jobs related to computing will be among the fastest-growing and highest-paying over the next decade. The Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Department at the University at Buffalo is training its students to meet this ever-growing demand through its undergraduate degrees in Computer Science and Computer Engineering and its graduate degrees in Computer Science and Engineering.

  The CSE department trains its students and provides exposure to cutting-edge research in diverse areas of computing such as building computing devices and writing software to run them; enabling effective communication between computing agents; making devices more intelligent; storing and protecting data; using technology to improve the lives of the handicapped; and answering fundamental questions about computing itself.
