Professor Sweeney Student Project Fair

You are invited to Professor Sweeney's Student Project Fair. Sixty six students will show their own works at saving the world through insights about today's technology. Please join us Wednesday, May 6, 2015, from 10a-noon, in the CGIS Knafel Cafe (1737 Cambridge St) first floor. Below is the project line-up. Its amazing what 2 weeks of student effort can reveal about today's technology. These students are in the Gov 1430 and Gov 2430 courses. Their research approach is a cross-disciplinary experimental design drawing on some combination of social science, political science, economics, policy, law, statistics and computer science.
