CSE Undergrad News

As a previous post mentioned, CSE 477 the embedded systems capstone will be renamed CSE/EE 475.  The prerequisites will be: Either EE 271 or CSE 369; either CSE 466, EE 472, CSE 474, or EE 474.

CSE Advising

All CE and CS students, please note we’re changing some CSE and EE courses. These changes are especially significant to CE majors, but are important for everyone to understand.

*CSE 466 will become CSE/EE 474. The prerequisite will be listed as CSE 143, BUT CSE students should also take CSE 351 prior to 474. By taking 351 in advance of 474, CSE majors will be exempted from some of the 474 coursework.    Also note that EE 474 is offered this summer and open to CS or CE majors.

Hey folks,

CSE 440 is now open for registration, sorry for the glitch. There are 24 slots for CSE majors now, and we’ll add another 24 early next week.

Happy Friday!

What:

Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) and the Animation Research Labs invite you to an information session on the Animation Production undergraduate course sequence at UW Seattle. This sequence runs from Summer 2015 (A term) through Spring 2016. The Summer course, Story Design for Computer Animation, is highly recommended but optional.

The Animation Capstone culminates in a very professional and exciting collaboratively produced digital short film, similar in process to Disney/Pixar and Dreamworks productions. Examples of previous award winning films produced in the dept will be shown and questions regarding applications and admission, etc. will be addressed. We look forward to seeing you there. Light refreshments will be served.

Hi, DXARTS is offering the Fundamentals of Digital Sound this summer to all non-DXARTS undergraduates and graduates – no add code is required.   This course does not presume knowledge of computer programing of entering students.

Students will learn:

•       Digital sound for digital art applications
•       Project-based course focused on creating experimental sound compositions
•       Overview of the history of electronic music and analysis of important works from its cannon
•       Acoustics
•       Psychoacoustics
•       Digital sound theory
•       Digital signal processing
•       Recording techniques
•       24-hour access to DXARTS sound computer labs and equipment
•       Multi-tracking, recording, editing, mixing and mastering using Digital Audio
Workstations (DAW)

In DXARTS 460 you will create your own experimental sound compositions, while learning basic techniques of sound editing, such as time-segmentation, pitch shifting, time stretching, filtering, etc.

Just a heads up, this summer we will offer CSE 332, 333,  and 456 (likely during a term).  456 is a storyboarding animation course, it is not a ‘core’ CSE course, but does count towards CSE Senior Electives. You can look at past offerings for more information.

We do NOT expect to offer 421 or 444 this summer.

Subject: CSE 501: Spring 15 edition
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2015 16:47:48 -0700
From: Alvin Cheung <akcheung@cs.washington.edu>
To: cs-grads@cs.washington.edu

What do catching phone malware, designing compiler optimizations,
generating test cases, and pushing code to new hardware have in common?
They all require analyzing programs! In the spring 15 edition of CSE
501, we will study techniques that are used to understand programs
automatically, and build tools that make use of semantic information for
various purposes. Intrigued? Surprised? Confused? Come check us out!

Class meetings: Tues/Thurs 11am-12:20pm starting 3/31

We still have several openings in CSE 441, the HCI capstone.

We have posted an overview of the planned course, including a simple calendar:

http://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse441/15sp/

As my first time teaching this capstone course, you will note that I
have modeled the course along the lines of CSE 477 or CSE 481. This is
a departure from prior offerings of CSE 441 by James Landay, which
included significant lecture material. We have decided to focus on
working with you in your project.

If you are interested in joining the course, please complete this survey:

http://tiny.cc/uwcse441

Note this course does have a pre-req of CSE 440 or instructor
permission. We are not teaching basic HCI methods, but rather working
with you to effectively apply those methods in the context of your
project.

We have several openings, but things will move very quickly after the
class starts on Tuesday.

Looking forward to it,

James A. Fogarty, Associate Professor
Computer Science & Engineering, University of Washington

Capstone design experience. Prototype a substantial software project involving mobile systems and computer networks.  The projects may optionally develop hardware prototypes as well. The projects can range from augmented reality, online distributed gaming, crowd sourced applications to health monitoring on smart phones.

Hey there everyone,

We hope finals week is going well for all of you. A few notes about spring and summer.

First, all computer engineering majors specifically, should note that CSE 352 will likely be offered for the last time this spring. If you plan to graduate from CE and have not taken the 2 credit CSE 390C and the EE 371 course, then you should take 352 this spring.  All other CE’s should plan to take the 7 credits of CSE 390 and EE 371 before they graduate.

Second, we are still finalizing plans for summer (the time schedule is not accurate), but at this point there does not appear to be ANY 400 level course. The only possibility might be that CSE 464, the animation storyboard course, might still be added. 421 and 444 will NOT be offered. The summer courses will be CSE 142, 143, 332 and 333.  We may also add 154, but that is tentative.

We hope this helps you all with your planning for spring quarter.  Let us know if you have questions.
