POMI 2020 Diversity Strategy Have an attractive project to get the best and the brightest –Broad spectrum of research to address diverse interests Example: HCI/dSchool research Killer applications from the Education School –Team with Paul Kim’s research focus Deploy research in diverse environments –Target underserved populations –Year 3-5 in plan

Stanford School of Engineering Objectives To create and enhance an educationally diverse environment which presents opportunities for all students for academic, personal, and professional growth and achievement. The objectives are to: –sustain and increase the number of students who bring diversity to the School’s educational program, and who graduate with an engineering degree. –improve the quality of the learning environment for students who bring diversity; –implement effective methods to educate these talented students, especially those seeking the Ph.D. degree.

Stanford SoE Diversity Highlights SoE is ranked best URM retention in the country at undergraduate level 99% of MS and Ph.D. URM-underrepresented minority students earn their degrees Annually 250 BS, MS, and Ph.D. women earn their engineering degrees at Stanford Ranked one of the top producers of Ph.D. URMs and Women Annually Stanford produces over 100 engineering B.S, MS, and Ph.D. URM graduates; Enrolls over 400, and admits about 100 new engineering URM students. The majority of URM and women engineering students at Stanford have a “B” average or higher at Stanford: Over 98% of our URM graduate students have a 3.5 GPA or higher.

Curriculum Impact POMI Research Courses –Develop ideas –Recruit graduate students Project courses using POMI technology –Get user experience –Develop applications POMI material in core courses –Expose broad student population to POMI research

Research Courses EE384p – Projects: The Programmable Open Mobile Internet A new Stanford research program in EE and CS to define the next generation of mobile computing: from the handheld device and its operating system to the network, radios, and cloud computing that supports the user. Small student teams prototype part of the next Internet architecture. Emphasis is on how the Internet can support billions of mobile users. CS294s - Mobile and Social Computing Infrastructure Topics vary. Focus is on emerging research themes such as programmable open mobile Internet that spans multiple system topics such as human-computer interaction, programming systems, operating systems, networking, and security.

Project Courses using POMI EE368 - Digital Image Processing (Girod) –Image processing on mobile devices CS147 - Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction Design (Klemmer) –Mobile user interface design

Courses with POMI material EE492M Space-Time Wireless Communications (Paulraj) CS321 – Information Processing for Sensor Networks (Guibas) CS142 - Web Programming and Security (Boneh) CS255 - Introduction to Cryptography (Boneh) MS&E Game Theory with Engineering Applications (Johari) MS&E Topics in Game Theory with Engineering Applications (Johari) EDUC308 - Mobile Empowerment Design for the Underserved (Kim)

New department service course CS303 - Designing Computer Science Experiments (Klemmer/Levis/Manning) –Train graduate students in empirical research How to design, perform, and interpret the results of experiments

Future Plans POMI Kits - Package POMI technology for deployment –Software, documentation, tutorials, workshops Targeting underserved populations –Paul Kim talk More active role with School’s diversity programs

Future Initiatives with the Engineering Diversity Programs Engineering Diversity Program fellowships. Leadership Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow- SURF and CURIS Stanford Summer Engineering Academy Use School program to get TAs their courses Host URMs and Women students lab visit Lunches with diversity students Ph.Ds. Students in the POMI labs will do STEM outreach via the Pre-College initiatives.
