This intensive two-week program will bring together an equal number of students from the Pacific Northwest and from Asia to learn about global software development in a cross-cultural classroom setting. Hosted on the campus of Peking University, the Summer School emerged from the ideas developed in the previous CPATHi18n workshops, by our Pacific Rim partners.
Highlights
- Six credits in computer science over 2 weeks. Intensive lab-based class in which students are organized into small global software teams; lecture-based classes on cross-cultural communication, international computer ethics, and topics in computer science. All instruction in English. Click here for course syllabi.
- Faculty team from University of Oregon and guest lecturers from Peking University, CPATHi18n Pacific Rim universities, and industry partners Intel and Microsoft. Click here for faculty list.
- Students and faculty will study and live together on the campus of Peking University, and participate in team-building and cultural activities around Beijing. Click here for travel & housing information.
- Housing and 2 meals/day for two weeks will be provided for students from outside Beijing. A partial stipend is provided for students from the U.S. and Canada.
Students
Junior, senior, and first year graduate students from the U.S., China, Korea, and Japan (invited from the CPATHi18n Pacific Rim Partner Institutions). This year's program is limited to 50 students, 25 from the Pacific Northwest, and 25 from Asia. Acceptance will be on a competitive basis.
Students must fulfill the following minimum criteria:
- Completion of Introduction to Software Engineering class (such as CIS 422/522) or equivalent. Work-related experience on a team software project may suffice.
- Enrollment in an undergraduate or graduate degree program in computer science at one of the invited CPATHi18n.org partner university (see list below). Students who graduate Spring 2010 are also eligible.
If you do not fulfill these criteria, please contact Ginnie Lo after April 18 for information on admission on a space available basis.

CPATHi18n Mission Statement: to create and sustain a community committed the internationalization of computer science education, through creative strategies that will prepare our students to work and to lead in a global community of computing professionals.
The Pacific Rim Summer School 2010 is one such strategy. The Summer School will provide an intensive hands-on class in which teams of students will work on a software development project while dealing with the challenges of language, cultural, and (simulated) time zone differences.
