Software Plumbing Workshops are a regularly scheduled series of workshops designed to facilitate the distribution of programming knowledge throughout the department. This typically takes the form of upper-year grad students presenting about a topic they have become particularly knowledgeable about, and is attended mostly by other graduate students but undergraduate students are welcome as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Workshops are typically 1-2 hours long, interactive, and coincident with free coffee and snacks for optimal brain function!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Software Plumbing runs semi-regularly (according to interests of the department, funding for snacks, and availability of speakers) throughout the academic year (September to May). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
