Subject: [cs-ugrads] FW: transient in the building
Hey…just a heads up as our building is connected to EE….
(btw, we are a public building, but panhandling is against the law on campus. If you encounter somebody in the building who is asking for money, please contact me, or UWPD. While most of us like to be nice, we don’t want to create an environment in the building that is welcoming to panhandlers).

Hi everyone,
There was a report that there was a transient roaming the building and panhandling. Please be sure that your doors are not propped open and sensitive items are properly secured. If you encounter this transient, please notify UW police.
Officer described the individual as a dark skinned color male with a baseball cap carrying a backpack of some sort. Backpack was not a typical book bag.
Again, if you see the person, contact UWPD.
Thanks,
John Young

Attention CSE Majors!
The University of Washington Academic Support Program is offering a service-learning seminar titled “EDUC 401: Tutoring and Mentorship in Higher Education” for Winter Quarter 2011. This weekly seminar will introduce junior and senior CSE students to a diverse range of tutoring, mentoring, and teaching methodologies. Students will have an opportunity to apply what they learn in class through tutoring and mentoring new transfer, freshman, and sophomore students who are transitioning socially, culturally, and academically to the University of Washington. This is a great opportunity for seasoned students to give back to the University by sharing their knowledge and experience with new students who are working to become independent learners.
• Seminar begins 2nd week of Winter Quarter, January 10, 2011 in MGH 288
• Seminar will meet on Mondays from 4-5 PM (section H) or from 5:30-6:30PM (section I)
• Tutoring will take place on campus
• Receive 2 credits for working with one student
• Receive 3 credits for working with two students
• A letter of recommendation will be available upon request after completion of the seminar
For more registration information, please contact Anne Browning at:

We are re-designing our outreach webpage to send out to prospective high school students and we’d like to include a “top ten” list from our students on why they should consider UW CSE. We’re on a short timeline, so please try to respond by this weekend if at all possible. Thank you!
You don’t need to come up with ten, just give us as many as you can think of and we’ll pick the best ten submitted.

Engineering Networking Night
November 17, 2010, 6-8pm
Vista Cafe, S Foege – Genome Sciences
Engineering Networking Night is an opportunity for engineering juniors and seniors to interact with engineering alumni working in industry. The event is an opportunity to interact with industry professionals, build your professional network, and get your questions answered about “life after graduation.” This is not a recruiting event. Please complete this registration form to attend the event – space is limited.
We would like for students to RSVP here: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/krhoward/113071
Here are some further details.
The format of the event is similar to “speed dating.” Students will rotate to different tables 3 times throughout the evening.
Here’s the timeline for the evening:
6pm – Eve Riskin Welcomes
6:10pm – 7:10pm Discussion – 3 rotations of 15 minutes and 5 minutes to alternate groups
7:10pm – Buffet opens
7:10pm – 8pm – Dinner and conversation
8pm – Departure
Our donors and alumni really enjoy this opportunity to interact with students.
Take care,
Karen
Drop-ins have been very busy this week, so plan accordingly. Mornings are generally less busy. You can also use email or set up individual appointments if you have longer questions.
Please note that although we have been trying to keep drop-in advising consistent to M, T, W, Th from 2-3PM and T, W, F 10-11AM, this week we need to make a change. There will be no Friday morning hours, but we will have 2-3PM hours on Friday instead.
There will only be one advisor available this Tuesday and Friday afternoon for current students, so line-ups may be a little longer. We appreciate your patience.
Hey undergrads,
There was a mistake in the last post. Research Night starts at 4:30, not 5:30. Sorry! Here’s the rest, for context.
“It’s coming up! This Wednesday is Research Night. Come check out the research our department has been working on, and maybe find a project you’d be interesting in working on. Undergraduate research looks great to grad schools and employers alike, and it’s really never too early to start.
The event kicks off at 4:30 PM with a short talk and a Q&A panel in EE 125. Afterwards, we’ll move to a poster session in the Atrium.
Hope to see you there!”

Please note that even though the times are listed for 930PM the course, will in fact, be at 930, AM.
Here are the sln’s:
12365 CSE 490 H SPECIAL TOPICS C M W F 0930-1020
19751 CSE 490 HA SPECIAL TOPICS C TH 0830-0920
19752 CSE 490 HB SPECIAL TOPICS C TH 0930-1020
Please note, this winter we are going to allow this course to count as one of the four 400-level required CSE courses for Computer Science majors and for Computer Engineering majors, as a software track course in the one of three required courses section that includes: 401, 421, 444, 466, 471, 484.
Once registration calms down, email an advisor if you want this to count in your degree audit in one of the two ways listed above and we’ll fix it for you.

CSE 490h: Distributed Systems
Distributed systems have become central to many aspects of how computers are used, from web applications to e-commerce to content distribution. This senior-level course will cover abstractions and implementation techniques for the construction of distributed systems, including client server computing, the web, cloud computing, peer-to-peer systems, and distributed storage systems. Topics will include remote procedure call, consistency of distributed state, fault tolerance, and security. We will also cover several case studies of distributed systems. A substantial programming project is involved. A graduate version of the course will be offered to fifth year masters students.
PREREQUISITES: (CSE 351 OR CSE 378) AND (CSE 326 OR CSE 332;) RECOMMENDED: CSE 451 CSE Majors only
