EECS 124 is a new course, being offered on a pilot basis in Spring 2008, intended to introduce students to the design and analysis of computational systems that interact with physical processes. Applications of such systems include medical devices and systems, consumer electronics, toys and games, assisted living, traffic control and safety, automotive systems, process control, energy management and conservation, environmental control, aircraft control systems, communications systems, instrumentation, critical infrastructure control (electric power, water resources, and communications systems for example), robotics and distributed robotics (telepresence, telemedicine), defense systems, manufacturing, and smart structures.
A major theme of this course will be on the interplay of practical design with formal models of systems, including both software components and physical dynamics. A major emphasis will be on building high confidence systems with real-time and concurrent behaviors.
The first offering of this course, in Spring 2008, will have limited enrollment, and students will be expected to participate in development in the course, including the lab content. This first offering is advised only for advanced and adventurous undergraduates.

My name is Christi Leong, and I am a recent Cal Alum.
I am currently a Race Director for the Cal Triathlon Team, and we will be hosting an Olympic Distance Triathlon at Treasure Island, CA, in April of 2008. We are interested in getting a website up for the event as soon as possible (the sooner the better), and we were wondering if there is anyone in the EECS major who would be interested? We mostly want an informative website with a few pictures and links--and we can pay $15 an hour. For someone who understands how to create websites, I don't think it will be too difficult, we just need someone who can work in a timely manner.
Please contact me with questions.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Christi Leong
