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 2018 (A term) through Spring 2019. Our Summer courses, Story for Animation, Facial Expressions for Animation, and Character Design for Animation, are 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.

Contact the instructor Barbara Mones (mones@cs.washington.edu) or Erin Caswell (emc29@cs.washington.edu) with any questions.

To All CSE students:

We have a few registration updates for everyone:

*CSE 484, 421, and 351 will likely not be able to add any more room. You are still welcome to attend the first week if you are trying to enroll (and you should attend if you want to enroll).  We have opened all possible space so we will not be giving out any overloads, but, if someone drops and you get the space, you need to have been attending and keeping up with assignments.

*CSE 473: We hope to open around 15 more spaces  tomorrow or Monday – so be watching for those

*CSE 452: We will accommodate everyone who wants to take the course. We’ll be opening a new section to balance the sections a bit more and will likely add a few more spaces as well.

*We added a LOT of space to CSE 455, there is still room for those interested.

*CSE 351 will be taught this summer and 484 will very likely be taught in fall, so you should consider those two options as back ups if you can’t get in this spring.

*If you do not have an internship and wish to take summer courses, we strongly encourage you to consider that option. We plan to offer: 142, 143, 331, 332 (maybe), 333, 344, and 351

*People will be dropping courses and space will be opening in several courses as next week starts, so stay tuned for that as the quarter gets rolling.

*If you are going to be graduating in fall or winter, you should apply for graduation sometime after the first two weeks of the quarter and before May 2nd so you can get graduating senior priority and register first for your last two quarters.    Everyone who had GSP status was able to get the courses they needed to graduate.

*If you’re hoping to graduate in spring and have not filed for graduation (you can check your MyCSE portal to see if you have filed) then you need to file by the 3rd Friday of Spring break.

*If you were unable to get *any* CSE course or need a course to graduate this spring, you should reach out to the advising office at ugrad-advisor@cs.washington.edu  We don’t want anyone being forced to delay graduation due to availability of courses.

~We will continue to update you all as we have more information

Just a friendly reminder that if you are a senior and you’re registered for CSE courses that you don’t plan on taking, you’re really stressing out your junior level friends in CSE.  They are seeing a bunch of 400 courses that are filled and we know for a fact that there is some hoarding going on….

So, if you registered for a bunch of courses and don’t plan to actually take them all, please drop them soon so your comrades can register.

We have secured a bigger room for CSE 452, so we’ll be adding space to that by early next week.   We’re still monitoring the Notify lists to see if the other courses that need adjusting.  At this point, it looks like CSE 484 will not be able to accommodate all students (there are no larger lecture halls at the time it is offered), so if you are going to be around next year, you should plan to take it then.

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

Thank you

~CSE Advising

Please remember that the only way for the advising team to know if there is more demand than we have available for a particular course is if you sign up on the UW’s Notify system.   Please make sure to do that if you’re trying to get into full courses. We will not be doing overloads for any courses at the undergraduate level.

If we have space in the capstones remaining this Friday afternoon, we will release the rest of that space. You may have originally told we would wait until period II, but we will open the space on Friday afternoon.  If you were given an add code, you have until noon on Friday to use it or lose it (or contact me and tell me why you can’t register for your capstone yet).

Thank you everyone for your patience. We are attempting to adjust space for CSE 371 and 455 and 452 at this point in time, and will look at other course demand as the data becomes available.

Additionally, we plan to offer these courses this summer:

142, 143, 331, 332 (maybe), 333, 344, and 351

CSE 452: Distributed Systems has one of the longest pre-requisite chains of
any course offered by the department, which has caused some issues
for students in the past since it is also offered only once per year.
Most specifically, 452 has required 451 (operating systems), which in turn
required 333 (systems programming) and 332 (data structures), and so forth.

Starting with this spring’s offering of 452, we have re-designed the course
project to allow us to restate its pre-requisite as requiring 332 and 333,
with 451 strongly recommended. There are additional logisticss needed to make
this permanent, so for now it will apply experimentally to this spring’s offering.
That is, students may take 452 without first taking 451, but you are
still encouraged to take 451 then 452 if you can.

Related, we have moved the time slot for 452 this spring so it will not
collide with 451. Taking 451 and 452 at the same time is fine, subject to the
warning that both courses have a higher than average workload, even among
CSE courses.

If you wish to enroll in 452 this spring without having completed 451, there will be a google form linked in the UW Time Schedule and sent out to this blog so you can sign up on that to request an add code.

If you have further questions, you can reach out to the advisors at ugrad-advisor@cs.uw.edu

Thank you,

CSE Advising

Here is the overload request form for the first week of courses. This is for current CSE Majors trying to enroll in a CSE Major’s level course that is currently full or add code protected.

If you are wishing to get into a full CSE course, you must fill this out by 5pm tomorrow to be considered for a space.  You should also plan to attend the lecture of any course you are petitioning to overload into.

https://goo.gl/forms/L7dG4a9RYfJzucZ72

We will try to have final decisions out by Thursday evening.  If you previously petitioned for a course and were not admitted during the overload requests we did a few weeks ago, you should fill this new request form out to express that you are still interested in the course.

Thank you,

CSE Advising

CSE482 Course Goals and Objectives

In this course we consider the complex relationship between people and technology. Your capstone project will likely challenge you to examine the ways in which technology can be both assistive and a potential barrier to individuals.

This course fulfills ABET requirements for the CSE major as well as the Diversity requirement. You will be asked to follow good engineering and documentation practices. Additionally, given the topic of the course and the participation of project Need Experts in your groups, you will be asked to follow participatory design principles in your design activities. This includes not only paying close attention to your stakeholder’s needs, but collaborating with the Need Experts in the full design process.

CSE482 provides students:

Exposure to the engineering, design, economic and social challenges facing designers, engineers, researchers, entrepreneurs, clinicians, older adults, and individuals with disabilities in the design, development, and use of accessible technology

Engagement in a team-based project experience that exercises collaborative working skills and applies an engineering design process to tackle difficulties experienced by individuals with disabilities and older adults

Participation and Interaction with users of accessibility features and assistive technology in the local community along with health care professionals, coaches, and caregivers.

Registration is open: CSE 482 SLN 3121
