[IST] COMPUWEB --- Computing over the Web

Industrial companies need Computer Engineers for tasks these engineers may underestimate.  The Internet is the easy connection, both institutional and physical.  To this end, a Proposal is schematically presented for a study on computing over the Internet (essential feature), suggesting to:

a) Include heterogeneous parallelization;  and

b) Solve applied problems.

Public presentation of this Proposal, in more detail, can be made. A more detailed Description is at http://web.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/mcasquilho/active/activities.php (1.st line, "Project").

We intend to:

i) Try, in the short term, to publish (in congresses, scientific journals) the results;  and

ii)  Consolidate the use, over the Internet, of high quality programs, already tested, needing important steps in the informatics (or “information technology”) chain:  optimized installation, security, combination of programming languages, resolution of industrial problem

We also wish to:  give the candidate [see i)] a new (or first) expressive mention in his CV;  support the computing over the Internet [see ii)];  and get acquainted with some problem in industry.

Ideally, a participation at CISTI'2017 is envisaged to accomplish "i)".

[ESN Lisbon] Activities colaborator @ ESN Lisboa

ESN Lisboa receives between 3000 to 5000 Erasmus students every semester. We organize social and cultural events, parties, trips, and many other kinds of activities, for them. In short, your job as a "ESN Lisboa Colaborator" is to help the members preparing and executing said activities.  

Our goal is to support and promote the exchange of students and an intercultural environment and our principle is «Students helping students». With that in mind, candidates are demanded to attend an interview so we can evaluate their thoughts and their commitment with the cause. In the interview, they will be asked to pick the three departments where they would most like to perform their activities but with a catch: they may be appointed to 1, 2 or none. The tasks vary by department and type of work that is necessary to perform there. However, enjoying the team spirit and since it is an organization that is governed by the rules of volunteering, any member can assist in the preparation, promotion and / or communication of an event belonging to another department than their own.

[INOV] Entrepreneurship @ Técnico

In this activity the students will (try to) understand why the entrepreneurship intentions are so low amongst the Técnico students, in particular the MEIC students. For example, less than 2% of the MEIC students take the (optional) Entrepreneurship course and probably even less found a startup during the last year or just after graduating. This problem is very well-known amongst the investors who complain that they don't have enough startups from Técnico students in which to invest their money!

The main objective of this activity is to collect the opinion of the majority of the MEIC students in both campus using personal interviews based on a predefined questionnaire that was developed in the context of a master thesis. After that, a focus group will be organized with the students participating in this activity to agree on a joint conclusion. The master student will then write and submit a scientific paper to a conference with a summary of the results.

[MUSEU VIRTUAL]

IST-ENTRAJUDA-SABER COM LÓGICA

[MUSEU VIRTUAL] We Computers - Nós Computadores - Museu Virtual

O Museu do Banco de Equipamentos da ENTRAJUDA reúne peças eléctricas e electrónicas recuperadas e ilustra a evolução tecnológica nos últimos anos. 

O Departamento de Engenharia Informática (DEI) do IST e a sua comunidade (antigos alunos, parceiros, professores) possui também um conjunto de artefactos representativos da História dos Computadores e das Tecnologias de Informação.

Os mecanismos que nós Humanos inventamos, descritos tecnicamente em "Saber com Lógica",  permitem-nos a NÓS "computadores" delegar funções, mecânicas ou repetitivas, libertando-nos para tarefas mais nobres.   

Aparelhos diversos, com proveniências variadas, tais como, calculadoras electromecânicas ou modelos antigos de computadores, tendo como características comum o facto de terem sido doados ou recuperados, permitem uma viagem no tempo e demonstram a rapidez da inovação tecnológica e dos materiais, numa curiosa coleção de peças muitas das quais ainda em funcionamento. 

A Actividade proposta pretende dar continuidade, assim como adicionar funcionalidades, à construção do Museu Virtual "We Computers", associando a identificação histórica, técnica, e de localização para visita dos artefactos recuperados, com a sua descrição funcional, e das tecnologias constituintes. Nalgumas situações pretende-se também recuperar para "estado funcional" alguns desses artefactos (tais como computadores ou consolas de jogos).

[IST-DEI] Programming for Youngsters

We intend to create a set of programming exercises to be offered by DEI to young students that visit us. During their visit they will participate in programming activities that, besides being fun, should have a computer science context. The set of programming exercises is open and may be of different levels of complexity, from small challenges, to be solved in a visual language like Scratch, to the creation of a game in Unity of Phyton. You are encouraged to use and adapt material from the diverse existing sources, like https://hourofcode.com/pt or https://www.codecademy.com/

The main objective is to write a script that defines the requires steps to set a programming activity. Therefore, it is necessary to characterise the activity, in term of the target age, duration, location of the resources, number of kids that can participate, number of requires tutors, pedagogical and scientific goals, time for preparation, etc. Additionally, you have to guarantee a couple of executions of the activity during the semestre.

[TECNOLOGICA] Tecnologias Sonoras

O Restauro é uma das actividades que a Tecnológica desenvolve, tendo como finalidade o restauro e a preservação de Rádios, Fonógrafos, Colunas e aparelhagens de som antigas. Nesta área existe o objectivo de garantir o design, a traça original e a patine dos aparelhos, remontando-os à sua época e até ao seu estado funcional. Da imensidade de equipamentos e produtos para reprodução sonora (dos primeiros rádios e fonógrafos até aos sistemas de muito Alta-Fidelidade “Vintage” ou mais actuais) que passam nos nossos Serviços, ou que possuímos no nosso acervo, há história e informação que merece ser pesquisada, organizada e relatada.

Os objectivos da actividade dependem da área de trabalho. Por exemplo:

  • inventariação de equipamentos e aparelhagens em termos de identificação de origem e especificações, 
  • pesquisa de informação histórica e técnica sobre as marcas e modelos,
  • organização de exposição de equipamentos e aparelhagens (por exemplo, Museu de Rádios e Fonógrafos) 
  • apoio na colocação online de informação sobre os equipamentos e as actividades e serviços (de reparação, restauro, transformações, etc.)

The main purpose of this activity is for students to help us, in the various presentations that our branch has to do in this semester, in order to introduce the course for the secondary school students. Also, and besides that, we need help in other kind of activities that our branch will organize along the semester and we would like to count with them for that too.

The main goals we intend with the type of activities we are proposing are to get the students which are not part of our branch to know the type of work we do, and at the same time, referring here a little to the part of the divulgation, create conditions for all doubts about our course that may come from the secondary schools' students that come to visit us, to get clarified.
