ChooSe SoUthamPton:inVestigate Your future the World Wide Web changed human life as we know it. its impact and scale of adoption has gone beyond all expectations and expanded at an unparalleled rate. Web Science has an ambitious agenda to understand and explain the Web.
researchers from across a range of diverse disciplines such as mathematics, sociology, economics, psychology, law and computer science are joining forces to analyse the social and organisational behaviour as well as the underpinning technology of the Web. this multidisciplinary team of academics at the University of Southampton are at the forefront of the development of Web Science.
a Web and internet Science research group (WaiS) has been set up within eCS that is carrying out research to better understand the origin, evolution and growth of the World Wide Web and how it is transforming society. WaiS includes some of the most influential people in forming the web as it is today– Professor dame Wendy hall, Professor Sir tim berners-Lee and Professor Sir nigel Shadbolt.
the team is analysing the Web in order to track its development, understand its use as an organic human-driven entity, and engineer its future by developing new tools, languages and standards to ensure its continuing creative use.
educational programmes are available in Web Science at undergraduate level (see page 38), taught masters level and Phd.

ChooSe SoUthamPton:CYBer rhino Comes to lifeeCs staff and students collaborated with colleagues from the university’s school of art in Winchester (Wsa) to design a six-foot long cyber rhino as part of marwell Wildlife’s go! rhinos campaign.
erica the rhino can move her ears and eyes, change her mood and even tweet. Small low powered computers (the raspberry Pi) allow her to respond to people nearby and she has her own Wifi network so that the public can interact with her via smart phones.
She was built and programmed by eCS staff and students and her colourful bodywork was designed and decorated by a student from WSa.
erica will be appearing at the marlands Shopping Centre over the summer and is one of a number of rhino sculptures being unveiled in the city to celebrate marwell’s 40th anniversary.
She has already been engaging with the local community before she hits the streets. Scores of schoolchildren have been having a sneak preview of erica and getting the chance to find out more about the technology behind her creation.
“ The visits to Erica have been very exciting for local schoolchildren. They have been able to have a go at using Raspberry PIs to make their own rhino noises. We hope that interactive events like these will help inspire more young people to take up science as a future career. ”reena paueCS outreach Coordinator

ChooSe SoUthamPton:the effeCts of high-Voltage disCharge
electrical engineering students are investigating the effect of bright sparks and arcs that are generated by electric field to try to extend the lifespan of modern electrical equipment.
the students are building sophisticated electrical circuits to generate electric discharges in the sample. they examine the results under optical and Pockels cell microscopes to discover if there are any visual changes appearing in the material and to measure any residual charge – both of these can reduce the life of modern electrical equipment and researchers hope their investigations will identify new materials that can be used in future applications without needing any maintenance.
their research is carried out in our world leading tony davies high voltage Laboratory. the lab is an active centre for research into dielectric materials, insulation systems, high voltage and related phenomena and can be used by electrical, electromechanical and electrical and electronic engineering undergraduate students in their projects.
“ The faculty is passionate about their work while teaching the next generation of engineers and a structured curriculum that covers a range of areas in electrical engineering while being flexible at the same time. The University also has a great reputation in industry, which always helps when looking for work experience or applying for a job after graduation. ”naved syedmeng electrical engineering

Creating football players with a difference.
a football game with a difference took place between teams of electronic engineering students in Southampton. instead of stretching their own legs on the pitch, the students built teams of football playing robots to compete in the crucial match.
the robots were the result of their second year system design project that challenges them to work together to design, build, test and demonstrate a complete electronic system in just three weeks. Previous projects have seen a portable video game vsystem being developed.
the boards – il matto, il bagatto, La Papessa and L’imperatrice – are built by the students and can be kept to use throughout their programme and for personal projects.
in recent years the system design project has been sponsored by bae Systems detica and the teams of students end their project by pitching their designs to judges from industry who award prizes to the most impressive team.
“ The students apply all of the skills, knowledge and understanding they have learnt in their studies to the system design exercise. They are free to select any combination of electronic components including our Micro Arcana family of four processing boards that offer similar capabilities to the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. ”dr rob maunderLecturer and Senior admissions tutor for electronic engineering

many of our female students are also accomplishing great things in the field. Syrian-born ghaithaa manla is just one of our success stories. She came over to the UK to study her mSc in electronic engineering and enjoyed her time at Southampton so much she has stayed. Since then she has completed her Phd, helped other international students settle into Southampton, been Coordinator of women’s networking group theano and is now a research fellow in eCS.
in eCS we actively promote diversity across our courses. a diversity Committee supports training and career coaching for women, while eCS Women was started by our students to support women across all levels. the group takes an active part in conferences promoting females in science, engineering, and mathematics (Stem) subjects, and organises events to improve employability such as self-confidence building, Cv and interview workshops, and network meetings.
eCS was also instrumental in instigating the formation of the University’s theano networking group that aims to promote the advancement of women in science, engineering and technology in higher education. it also regularly takes part in outreach initiatives in schools and colleges such as think it with ibm.
