CSE <strong>2004</strong>CEINTCenter for Embedded <strong>and</strong>Inter-Networking TechnologiesConsortium aids research, education in embedded systems.Sijin Karayil is part <strong>of</strong> the Linux Systems Diagnostics team at Motorola.The team writesdiagnostics to test Motorola’s various boards before they go to the consumer.Through his workKarayil has strengthened his skills in Linux <strong>and</strong> programming in C, <strong>and</strong> has been exposed toextreme programming. He is able to present his ideas <strong>and</strong> feels like his contributions are valuable.“It’s like being a full time employee,” he said. But he isn’t.Karayil is actually a senior incomputer science at ASU. He worksat Motorola through the CEINTinternship program.The Consortium for Embedded <strong>and</strong>Inter-Networking Technologies, orCEINT, is a partnership between theIra A. Fulton School <strong>of</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong>,Motorola, <strong>and</strong> Intel designed t<strong>of</strong>acilitate world-class research as wellas prepare a talented <strong>and</strong> skilledworkforce. The consortium receives$1.5 million per year from itsmembers to support its variousprograms, including the CEINTInternship Program run by Pr<strong>of</strong>essorDavid Pheanis.Interns usually spend multiplesemesters with a company workingon a specific project. They have twomentors, one form the company <strong>and</strong>one from ASU. At the end <strong>of</strong> eachsemester, the intern writes a paper<strong>and</strong> makes a presentation about hisor her research.CEINT also provides financialassistance to graduate <strong>and</strong>undergraduate students interested inembedded systems. CEINT GraduateResearch Assistantships help attracttop students to ASU. Juniors <strong>and</strong>senior undergraduates can apply formerit scholarships <strong>of</strong> $1,500 persemester through the CEINTScholars program. Once selected,students receive an award eachsemester if they continue to meet theacademic qualifications.Curriculum development is alsoessential to CEINT’s mission. Eachsemester ASU pr<strong>of</strong>essors competefor grants to develop courses <strong>and</strong>laboratories focused on embeddedsystems. Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Yann-Hang Leehas received grants to develop twonew courses.The first class focuses onembedded systems that mustrespond in real time, such as those intelecommunications, medical oraerospace applications. From asystems point <strong>of</strong> view, the classexamines how to design moreefficient s<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>and</strong> architecture,meet deadlines, do scheduling, <strong>and</strong>generally make a system better. Aspart <strong>of</strong> the grant Lee set up a newlaboratory with development systemsdonated by Intel.16 COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
