Summer Paid Tutoring jobs, EECS Womens Technology Program – Posted 3/20/06

Do you enjoy teaching, or want to explore whether teaching is for 
you?  Want to get more high school girls interested in engineering or 
computers?  Work (for pay!) as a Residential Tutor for the MIT Women's 
Technology Program (WTP) in EECS this summer.

You'll work in the EE, CS, or Math classroom and also live in the dorm 
doing fun evening/weekend activities with the high school girls (like 
exploring Boston or cooking projects or movies).   We need one more female 
MIT student Tutor for each class; preference will be given to applicants 
who are juniors, to balance the current team members.

CS Tutors should know Java and have taken 6.001 minimum, more advanced CS 
classes preferred.  EE Tutors should have taken 6.002, additional EE 
classes preferred.  Math Tutors should have taken 6.042 and be solid in 
discrete math topics such as probability, logic, algorithms, matrices, 
recursion, .

The time commitment is June 12th through July 26th.  Compensation is 
$600/week for 7 weeks, plus housing with the WTP students in McCormick and 
food.

Many WTP alumnae are now MIT students, others are studying engineering and

Silicon Laboratories – Software design to facilitate first-silicon 
laboratory characterization – Posted 3/22/06

Silicon Laboratories is offering a summer internship position at our
East Coast Development Center in Nashua, NH (about 40 minutes from MIT).
We're looking for a bright MIT student to design software to facilitate
first-silicon laboratory characterization of our mixed-signal
microcontroller family of parts. You'll be working closely with our chip
designers (4 of whom are MIT alums) to evaluate our latest mixed-signal
microcontroller designs, as soon as they come back from fabrication in
Taiwan. You'll manage and lead the software development side of the
project, and play a critical role in moving the project from the design
phase to the full mass-production phase. Depending on project timing,
you may also be exposed to products in our high-speed networking line of
parts.

The intern candidate should have excellent software engineering skills,
and in particular, knowledge of object-oriented design. Since our
microcontrollers have a huge amount of analog circuit content on them---
oscillators, data converters, amplifiers, temperature sensors,
regulators, bandgaps, comparators, etc.--- basic knowledge of analog
circuits is also necessary (6.002 will probably suffice at minimum, but
more is better). Prior experience with microcontrollers, C, assembly,
and Visual Basic is also a plus. We'd like to find a candidate with a
future career interest in analog/digital chip design--- as this position
can be a stepping stone to an internship designing chips at SiLabs  next
summer.

Travel to Africa this Summer with MISTI and iLab Africa project – Posted 
3/22/06

The iLab-Africa project is an ongoing collaboration between MIT and
universities in Nigeria, Uganda and Tanzania. The goals of the project
include the deployment of current MIT iLabs throughout the curriculum
in African universities, the development of new labs within the iLabs
architecture, creating opportunities for internships for MIT and
African students and staff and the creation of a scalable iLabs
research network in Africa.

In collaboration with MISTI, the projects listed below provide an
exciting opportunity to use your software and hardware skills in
enhancing this collaboration while experiencing the higher education
system and culture in Africa. The positions involve an extended stay
at the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ife, Nigeria, or the University
of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) in Tanzania over the summer ('06), with the
possibility of developing into a Masters Thesis over the following
year if applicable. The exact dates and length of engagement for the
summer trips are very flexible.

We have openings in projects in:
- - - Developing new pedagogical content to be added to the iLabs shared
architecture and used by students in Africa
- - Developing a low-cost ($20-$40) hardware platform for implementing iLabs.
There is some hardware work remaining, although  the bulk of the work is
software (including microcontroller, server, and client code)
- - Designing and implementing server and client software that maximizes the
reuse of existing
iLabs components and that takes into account the usage of iLabs in an
African context, in Collaboration with developers in Africa. The software
developed
will primarily be used to bring the National Instrument ELVIS work station
online
under the iLabs shared Architecture.

Useful skills:
- - - Most of the current software is implemented using .Net web
services. Therefore, a solid understanding of Web application
development using the .Net framework is helpful.
- - - Experience in building UIs using Java.
- - - An electrical engineering and computer science background.
- - - Interest in traveling to and helping developing countries.

In addition to the above skills, We are interested in hiring students
who have experience with independent electronics projects, and can
therefore help African students build up electronics clubs. At OAU for
example,laboratory stations are often shared by 8 students, and for
introductory classes, do not even include an oscilloscope. The school
has close to 30,000 students, but the electronics department has only
13 instructors, of whom only 3 are professors. As a result, there is
an extreme shortage of mentorship. By bringing the sorts of projects
that MIT students do (Solar Car, MASLab, amateur radio, etc.)  to OAU,
students can overcome both limitations, first by pooling personal
resources, and second by having older students mentor younger
students, especially across disciplines. The students at OAU were very
interested in pursuing projects like this, but need some help getting
started. This can have a very large impact on the education of a large
number of people.

If you are interested, please contact 
<mailto:gikandi at mit.edu>gikandi at mit.edu or
<mailto:pmitros at mit.edu>pmitros at mit.edu.  Please highlight any applicable 
experiences that may
help you stand out as a candidate.  The positions are open to both
undergraduate and graduate students.
