EDI in Computing – supporting student success

-

 A post has recently been posted https://blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/engineering/edi-in-computing/ discussing the positive success in equality, diversity and inclusion in Computing at Canterbury Christ Church University 

Highlight


At Canterbury Christ Church University we have successfully begun to integrate soft skills, such as presenting to stakeholders and group collaboration alongside the technical skills that all students entering Computing and Engineering need so that we can ensure that we are educating the whole individual. By focusing on strengthening the opportunities of the individual we can make sure that each person gets the learning and the support that they need without preconceptions and stereotypes.

Earthquakes in a month (now with code)

Earthquake Start of a project to bring in information from a website with an Application Programming Interface (API). We are going to use a modified version of "Project: Fetching Current Weather Data" from "Automate the boring stuff with Python" by Al Sweigart Instead of weather data were are collecting a month's worth of earthquake data.  What is going on below? We import libraries to deal with json, request from the server and the pandas library. [1]: ​ import json , requests import pandas as pd from pandas import json_normalize In this section we creating a string made up of the URL. Requesting the information from the site with the URL we created and pass back the information. Data comes from the US Geological survey  https://www.usgs.gov/about/about-us/who-we-are  and one of their earthquake feeds. Requesting the information from the site with the URL we created and pass back the information. Then print out what was returned. [2]: ​ url = 'https:...

  Design and Implement A Hybrid WebRTC Signalling Mechanism for Unidirectional & Bi-directional Video Conferencing International Journal of Computer Science & Network Security Volume 24 Issue 9   /   Pages.186-194   /   2024   /   1738-7906(pISSN) doi:  10.22937/IJCSNS.2024.24.9.21 International Journal of Computer Science & Network Security (국제컴퓨터통신보호논문지학회) WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a technology that enables browser-to-browser communication. Therefore, a signalling mechanism must be negotiated to create a connection between peers. The main aim of this paper is to create and implement a WebRTC hybrid signalling mechanism named (WebNSM) for video conferencing based on the Socket.io (API) mechanism. WebNSM was designed over different topologies such as simplex, star and mesh. Therefore it offers several communications at the same time such as one-to-one (unidirectional/bidirectional), one-to-many (unidirectional) and many-t...

  Unveiling Pollution Peaks: Comparing Swarm Intelligence with Drone Hill Climber September 2024 DOI:  10.1109/SISY62279.2024.10737602 Conference: 2024 IEEE 22nd Jubilee International Symposium on Intelligent Systems and Informatics (SISY) Produce using ChatGPT Abstract: Climate Change has become an accelerating problem in recent years due to pollutants like greenhouse gases , with carbon dioxide being the most prominent. Similarly in time, works on the application and development of swarm intelligence using drones , along with the use of drones to monitor air pollution / source discovery, have been carried out in isolation to date. This paper presents an investigation to discover multiple pollution sources using a variety of existing swarm intelligence algorithms, through simulated drones. This paper also presents a bespoke Drone Hill Climber (DHC) algorithm that introduces the novel of multiple drones each flying on their own set paths, with the aim of finding multiple p...
