Need another CSE course in spring? Want some exciting project experience? CSE 477 has space, sounds super interesting, the prereqs are somewhat flexible, and you get to work with MacArthur “Genius” Grant winner Shwetak Patel.

Subject: Re: cse 477
The aim of 477 is to work on an end to end class project that combines hardware and software (i.e., embedded systems), which will prove valuable to have in your portfolio and resume. This spring, we’ll talk about new embedded platforms, learn about software radios, PCB layout and design, 3d printing of cases, and other concepts. This year we are lucky to have a large company donate a new embedded consumer electronics device (not available to the public yet), which we will have the opportunity to hack and build new capabilities on top of. This platform is called WeMo (http://www.belkin.com/wemo/), which is a WiFi-based home automation system recently debuted at CES. Some of your projects may have a chance of making it into the final product release!
Although CSE 467 is listed as a pre-requisite for this class, a strong understanding of the concepts in CSE 466 or EE 472 is more than sufficient. Please contact the instructor if you have any questions.
