The optional theme for the Winter 2009 Informatics Capstone Experience is environmental sustainability. With community clients and stakeholders, students will identify information problems and develop solutions. We expect that projects will address important topics including (but not limited to):
- Domestic energy use;
- Office/workplace environmental impacts;
- Neighborhood environmental health.
Students will apply a variety of research methods and technologies in their projects. Projects are defined in the Autumn quarter and completed in the Winter quarter. Students give public presentations of their work in the Spring 2009.
