The spring quarter course (CSE 481K) is a five-credit CSE capstone course which will implement and test solutions developed in the winter. This course will be the fifth offering of the CSE capstone where students have worked on technologies targeting low resource environments. Projects from previous courses continued on as research and deployment projects and resulted in publications and travel opportunities for the students involved.
