Hello everyone!
ACM-W hopes the quarter is treating you well.
Are you interested in pursuing a PhD in computer science? Please join us today for a discussion with CSE alum and current UCSD PhD student Alex Sanchez-Stern! In comparison to our previous PhD info sessions, this will provide additional/deeper information and will be a more informal conversation. We hope to see you there! Snacks will be provided.
Monday Nov. 13th, 3:30 – 4:30pm
CSE 305
Alex Sanchez-Stern graduated from University of Washington in 2015 with his Bachelors of Computer Science and in 2016 with his Masters of Computer Science, and is currently pursuing a PhD at UCSD in San Diego. At the University of Washington he worked on research in numerical software, and he is currently researching numerical program debugging and proof synthesis. He’ll be talking about his two current projects, Herbgrind, a tool for identifying root causes of floating point error, and Proverbot9001, a system for generating program correctness proofs using machine learning. Both projects are in collaboration with UW researchers. He’ll also talk about the process of pursuing a PhD, and the benefits of graduate school.
ACM-W is hosting a Study Hall in CSE 403 today from 10:30am – 2:30pm. Join us for tea, bagels, and a focused work environment as we finish up the quarter and prepare for finals. Work independently or bring study buddies. All are welcome!

Hello everybody!
Thank you to those who RSVPed already! The Computer Science & Engineering Student Advisory Council (CSE SAC) is excited to start hearing what you have to say and we hope you’re excited (for free burritos and) to share your stories. It’s not too late if you still want to attend our first Discussion Forum of the year!
The event will take place in the Gates Commons (this is a location change from our previous advertisements). Doors open at 5:00 PM and we plan on finishing around 6:00 PM. Hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Geoffrey Wukelic (Vice Chair)
CSE 390P (Problem Solving with Programming) is a one credit course designed to explore applications of programming to problem solving. Each week students will be given a problem (or problems) that should be solved using a combination of critical thinking, problem solving, and skills learned in other CSE courses. There will occasionally be lectures on topics relevant to solving these problems. CSE 390P is about applying your programming skills to solving novel, interesting problems. We will go through the SICP book (https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html) together to get a sense of interpretation, languages, more functional programming, and fun!
Prerequisites: CSE 143
Instructor: Adam Blank

Enjoy!
We would like to invite you to the first ever CSE Student Advisory Council Discussion Forum. This is an opportunity for the CSE community to come together, share their experiences, and brainstorm ideas to make our community better. We hope this discussion forum will create a space for constructive conversations and lead to actionable resolutions.
If that wasn’t enough, we are providing free Chipotle burritos (while supplies last! Come fast!). The meeting is in CSE 403 on Tuesday, November 7th. Doors open at 5:00 pm, event starts at 5:15 pm. The theme for this meeting is: Share Your Fall Quarter Experience. Topics will range from navigating the new school year, managing stress, and seeking internships.
Please RSVP here so we know how much food to order!
Who are we?
The Computer Science and Engineering Student Advisory Council is the collective voice of undergraduate and masters’ students. This advisory council aims to use research-based methods to assess and understand students’ needs and collaborate with faculty and advisers on key issues such as diversity, social responsibility, and student wellness.
If you have any questions, feel free to email Kaitlyn Zhou and Geoffrey Wukelic.
Reminder: If you are planning to graduate this Dec., you need to file to graduate by Friday.
Graduation is not automatic. Generally, you should file for graduation two or three quarters before you plan to graduate (for example, file during autumn quarter if you plan to graduate at the end of spring quarter). If you are pursuing a double major or double degree, you will need to make an appointment with your other department, as well. If you have a minor, we will check your minor requirements at your CSE graduation appointment.
The last day to file your graduation application is the third Friday of the quarter you plan to graduate. You must see an advisor before then.
There are also instructions on how to check to see if you have filed previously, if you can’t remember whether you have or have not.
