I’ve got a (late) Informatics course announcement that seems appropriate for the CSE undergrads:
INFO 461 – Cooperative Aspects of User-Centered Design
Instructor: Andrew J. Ko, The Information School
If you have any interest in working in the software industry (whether as a developer, tester, usability engineer, user experience designer, program manager, consultant, etc), you should be in this course. The course provides fundamental insights about how to design software in an organizational team-based setting. The course compliments a traditional software engineering course, combining theoretical background on requirements, design, version control, testing, issue tracking, and user feedback, while also providing practical experience building software as a team in a way that mimics best practices in industry. Assessments are based primarily on the delivery of a 1.0 and 2.0 product and peer evaluations of communication skills and software quality.
