Picture of Legislators Visit to CSE classroom

A delegation of Minnesota Legislators visited the University last week, touring the classrooms, research facilities, and learning about innovative teaching methods. As part of the tour, the group visited CSE professor Maria Gini’s graduate class on Intelligent Agents to learn about the teaching quality in a highly interactive, technologically advanced classroom.

The class took place in the EE/CS Building’s newly refurbished classroom, room 2-260, which includes a laptop connector, a DVD player, multiple TV monitors, an instructor microphone, projectors, and more. Gini and her students spoke to the legislators about the benefits of teaching in the highly interactive classroom and about the issues facing CSE education, such as the lack of women students enrolled.
