UCD’s Introduction to Computer Science and Programming (ICSP) module celebrated its second anniversary with an event in Google HQ Barrow Street, Dublin 4 on 15th May 2010 facilitated by Eoghan Nolan from Google. In the absence of any formal Computer Science curriculum at second level in Ireland, the ICSP module is designed to develop an interest in computer science among senior cycle students”, says the module’s creator Dr. Michael O’Neill from the UCD School of Computer Science & Informatics and UCD CASL.

The School of Computer Science and Informatics is pleased to announce the Workshop on ICT for Energy-Efficiency in Buildings. Spearheaded by Dr. Antonio Ruzzelli of CSI, the workshop is a networking event to facilitate synergy and harmonization between  the  EnPROVE, Energy Warden and FIEMSER projects funded by the European commission during the FP7 call 4.

The first UCD-EPITA Android workshop was held in EPITA – a French Engineering school focused on software engineering – from April 14-16. The purpose of the workshop was to enable the participants to obtain some experience working with the platform by engaging in an intense short term project of their choosing.  The participants included UCD students – mostly final year students – and some EPITA second year students. The joint workshop provided an opportunity for students to understand a little about the differences between the Irish and French education systems and the skillsets they teach.
