What is ITEC 5001?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ITEC 5001 is a series of seminars and lectures given by students, faculty and visitors. On occasion, the seminar series will also feature speakers from Carleton or from the Information Technology community at large, both academic and industrial, exposing students to the latest topics in research. All masters and PhD students must satisfy the Attendance and Presentation requirements to complete ITEC 5001, which is a graduate program requirement at the School of Information Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminar series is managed by the Seminar Coordinator (CSIT-Seminars@cunet.carleton.ca<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing the Attendance Requirement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Earning Attendance Credits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To complete the attendance requirement, students must attend at least eight seminars. At the seminar, students must sign an attendance sheet to record their ITEC seminar attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The schedule for ITEC 5001 seminars<\/a> lists upcoming sessions and is updated regularly. Check on Saturday for any news about a talk on the following Monday. If no talks are scheduled by then, the seminar session for that Monday is automatically cancelled (no seminar session will be held on that day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a maximum of two presentations per seminar session. Each seminar session (whether there are 1 or 2 presentations) counts as 1 attendance credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

External Events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students may earn up to three attendance credits through attending external events. Before attending an external event for Attendance credit, please inquire in advance with the Seminar Coordinator if the event can count towards ITEC seminar attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some events are pre-approved for external event credit. These will be shared to the graduate students mailing list. They will also be listed on the schedule spreadsheet under \u201cPre-Approved External Events\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For external event attendance to count for attendance credits, students must submit a proof of attendance via an external attendance form<\/a> signed by the event organizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checking Attendance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To check your attendance, email the Seminar Coordinator with the word “attendance” in the subject line (the message body can be left blank). An automated message will be sent back to you with your attendance record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing the Presentation Requirement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earning Presentation Credit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To complete the attendance requirement, students must satisfactorily present at least once at a seminar. If you would like to present in an ITEC seminar, please email the seminar coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentation Expectations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each presentation slot is 30 minutes long (~20-25 mins long presentation, with ~5-10 mins for Q&A). Presentations that go on for too long may be subject to being cut off during the seminar session and not receiving presentation credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentations can be on any academic topic. Acceptable presentation types include but are not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
