Hi all, I don't know if I've made mention in this space, but I'll be moving institutions this summer. I'll be leaving Allegheny College and starting at Berea College in the fall. In traditional terms, I'll be a joint hire between the Technology and Applied Design program and Computer Science... but, since Berea has divisions (and not departments), I'm simply a divisional hire.
I'm very excited about this move, and will be working with Mel, Sebastian, and anyone else who wants to join in on the design of a new (open, of course) introductory curriculum in electricity and electronics. Our goal is to provide a hands-on, or "craft-first," experience that helps students ground themselves in the practice of electronics before being buried in the math and theory. You can follow along here: http://craftofelectronics.org/ are welcome to join our mailing list here: http://groups.google.com/group/craftofelectronics and can track our Tweets @craftoe: https://twitter.com/#!/craftoe Sebastian Dziallas will be one of the core "on site" team members, lending his experience and expertise as an open-source practitioner and student of engineering. I would appreciate the opportunity to use some (most) of my POSSE 2011 funds to support his travel, as he will be spending 1.5 months working very much on this project. Hanover -> Boston $907.19 Boston -> Cincinnati $471.10 There are complexities involving other flights that I am not responsible for, which somehow equate to Sebastian being in Kentucky for half of June and most of July. I can provide more information to anyone who needs it (off-list), as there are details in the itinerary that perhaps should not be posted publicly. My hope is that this is enough information to begin a reimbursement process. More can be provided as needed. Many thanks, Matt _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
