Printed circuit boards anyone?

We would like to extend our appreciation to the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto and Cadence Design Systems since they have made available to us a handful of licenses for industry-quality printed circuit board (PCB) computer-aided design (CAD) software.

The software will be available to UofT students working with SCYP at the ATRC and will be most useful in the completion of our current alternative input projects. Special thanks to Jaro Pristupa for helping us provide the best available resources to our students!

SCYP welcomes more students

The begining of the Fall term is near and we are very happy to realize that many eager students wasted no time to express their interest in joining the SCYP team through the work-study program. Even more exciting is the fact that these students come with impressive resumes and loads of motivation. So we would like to welcome them in the hopes that their involvement with SCYP will be exactly what they expect and tons more!

So here is the breakdown of new SCYPers:

Student	Project
Susahosh Rahman	Tactile Feedback for Practical Outdoor Navigation
Yura Zenevich	WiFi Indoor Positioning System

We will also count with the volunteer advice of Raghunath Ramachandra, a Master of Business Administration student at the Rotman School of Management, recently unpacked from India, who has lots of telecom development experience and will be collaborating with us on the Vivid Campus project.

But don't worry, we still have some work-study positions available so, apply now!

Work-study positions available

We have at least nine work-study positions available for the upcoming 2008-2009 academic year. The work-study program is an excellent way to turn your course work into a money-making venture while contributing to research and development at UofT. You can review the advertised positions in the SCYP Career Opportunities page.

So, if you want to be part of SCYP, send us your resume and cover letter, and remember, even if the posted job descriptions aren't exactly what you are looking for, we may still have a place for you!
