Hello!

The Capital Area IT Council has planned the next Tech Tour to take place 
on Friday, January 23 from 12-6 p.m. The Tech Tour is an event that 
allows students to tour IT companies in the greater Lansing area and 
learn more about how they can work, live and play in Lansing. The Tech 
Tour is of no cost to the student and transportation to the companies is 
included. This is a great opportunity for students to network with 
companies and learn about internship and job opportunities.

I?m attaching a powerpoint slide that has information about the Tech 
Tour to share with students.

Thank you!

Andrea Kerbuski

Assistant Communications Officer

-------- Original Message --------


I'm writing to let you know about a course we are offering this term  
that may be of interest to your students, as it deals with technology  
entrepreneurship.  It's a one credit special topics course called "The  
Art of the Start", and takes students with a innovative idea through  
the process of developing a sound business plan and pitching their  
idea to venture capitalists.  There are several seats available, and  
it is open to students from across the university.  The course takes  
place over one weekend - February 7 and 8 - and is taught by three MSU  
alums.  Dick Bush leads the effort - he was been a California-based  
high tech entrepreneur for a number of years, and helped to launch  
many successful Silicon Valley start-ups.

They taught this course last year and we had lots of positive  
feedback, and so invited them to do it again.  Dick teaches an  
entrepreneurship course for MA and PhD students at Stanford.  This  
version is directed at undergraduates, although open to graduate  
students.  A web page with more details is available:  https://www.msu.edu/course/tc/491/artstart/

Any students with interest in this course should contact Rachel Iseler  
at tcma at msu.edu.

New IBM applications development center at MSU promises job growth in 
Michigan

Michigan State University is announcing this morning that IBM  will 
invest in a Global Delivery Center for Application Services on the East 
Lansing campus.

It's a joint effort - and the first is the U.S. for IBM - among the 
state's economic development team, the university and the global 
computer giant.

"The center will provide innovative application development and support 
services to modernize older and less efficient IT systems for state and 
local government agencies and universities," according to MSU officials.

 Science & Engr of Energy Sustainability]
Message-ID: <4976219B.301@cse.msu.edu>





Dear Engineering Students:

Three openings are available for MSU Engineering undergraduates to 
support GET City <http://getcity.org/Home.html>,  an NSF-sponsored, 
year-round program for youth at the Boys and Girls Club of Lansing 
<http://www.bgclansing.org/>, focused on the science and engineering of 
energy sustainability. GET City is a collaboration between BGCL and the 
Colleges of Engineering and Education at MSU.  We use advanced 
Information Technologies [IT] to provide youth with:

    * Experiences with advanced IT skills (GIS, data management and
      analysis, and communication tools);
    * Opportunities to develop scientific research skills understanding
      related to energy technology, production and sustainability;
    * Job skills development for the IT market and an awareness of STEM
      careers;
    * A curriculum for informal science and IT education that can be
      adapted for other urban communities.


This spring, we are offering modules on "Solar Power" (photovoltaics, 
electrochemical solar cells, solar heating) "Fuel Cells" (hydrogen 
energy, fuel cell cars) and are beginning to develop a module on 
biofuels.  Undergraduates will be asked to work 10 hours per week during 
the semester, both on campus and at the Club, at a pay rate of $10/hour. 
Transportation to the club will be provided and/or reimbursed.

All engineering-track undergraduates are eligible to apply.  If 
interested, please submit a resume by email to Dr. Scott Calabrese 
Barton <scb at egr.msu.edu <mailto:scb at egr.msu.edu>> by Friday, January 23. 
 In the message, please indicate any available work study 
funding, describe how you would like to contribute to the program. 
 Additional questions are also welcome.

Spartasoft

What can you do in 48 hours? How about create a video game?
Spartasoft is hosting another game jam this weekend.
Beginning on Friday January 30th at 6:30 p.m. in 161 CAS with 
registration, theme choices and team formation, and ending on Sunday 
February 1st at 7:00 p.m. at a location to be announced on Friday, with 
game presentations. 

The game jams are a great way for students of all ages and majors to

  *Practical Attack Graph Generation for Network Defense*


    Spring 2009 CSE Colloquium Series <http://www.cse.msu.edu/?Pg=143&Col=2>

*Kyle Ingols*

Technical Staff Member
Information Systems Technology Group
MIT Lincoln Laboratory

Friday, February 6
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
3105 Engineering Building 
<http://www.maps.msu.edu/interactive/index.php?location=eb>

Host: Alex Liu <http://www.cse.msu.edu/%7Ealexliu/>


      Abstract

Attack graphs, a valuable tool for network defenders, illustrate paths 
an attacker can use to gain access to a targeted network. Defenders can 
then focus their efforts on patching the vulnerabilities and 
configuration errors that allow the attackers the greatest amount of 
access. MIT Lincoln Laboratory has created a new type of attack graph, 
the multiple-prerequisite graph, that scales nearly linearly as the size 
of a typical network increases. The Laboratory has built a prototype 
system using this graph type. The prototype uses readily available 
source data to automatically compute network reachability, classify 
vulnerabilities, build the graph, and recommend actions to improve 
network security. The prototype has been tested on an operational 
network with over 250 hosts, where it helped to discover a previously 
unknown configuration error. It can evaluate large, enterprise networks 
using commodity hardware in seconds and has processed complex simulated 
networks with over 50,000 hosts in under four minutes.
