University of Missouri - Kansas City (UMKC)           Computer Science, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology degree

Welcome
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Seminar & PhD Colloquium
 

2007-2008 Academic year

CSEE seminar series is a forum where researchers, students, teachers, practitioners, and professionals share their contributions and research findings. This is highly useful for students to share their research ideas and to receive useful comments.  Although the seminars are organized by CSEE, it has a wide scope.  Thus, in addition to computer science and engineering, it covers other disciplines such as life science, business, finance, civil engineering, product development, marketing, and so on.

Seminar series for 2007-2008 year will be managed by Dr. Cory Beard (beardc@umkc.edu) and Dr. Vijay Kumar (kumarv@umkc.edu).  All seminars starts at 2:00PM in FH room 557.  Any change will be posted on seminar web site well in advance.

 

Winter 2008 (January 15 - May 2, 2008)

January 25, 2008 Seminar will start from 12:00 Noon.

April 4, 2008 Seminar will be in Room FH 302.
