Today was the first day of registration for winter 2011. Graduating seniors had priority today and security is already full.
Please note that we will be running overloads the same way we did fall quarter. That means, you should keep watching for space to open for any full CSE course that you want to get into and plan to attend the first week of the quarter.
Instructors/advisors will begin to coordinate add codes on that Friday after the first week is completed.
I know a lot of people are disappointed about security. Unfortunately there isn’t much we can do, however stay tuned to info coming soon on distributed computing, a 490 course this winter that will also count as one of the four required 400 level CSE courses for CS majors, and as a software track option for CE majors.

Hi all,
The CSE departmental scholarship application for 2010-2011 is now online. The deadline to submit your application is 9am on Monday, November 8th.
We have multiple awards available, some with specific criteria, and you will be considered for all scholarships that you are eligible. We have a set of awards specifically for new transfer students and freshmen with demonstrated financial need, so I encourage you to apply if you meet those requirements.
Scholarship decisions are based on academic record, the essay you submit, and, in many cases, financial need. Please note that you will need to submit a copy of your transcript in the drop box linked to the application. We will also request financial need information for all applicants from the UW Office of Financial Aid.
Students will be notified of scholarship decisions early in winter quarter, and the money will be disbursed in time to use in winter.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions about the application or the scholarship process.

Subject: [cs-ugrads] Intel Lab Open House today!
To: cs-grads@cs.washington.edu, cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu
Just a reminder that the Intel research lab has an open house today. It’s located on the 6th floor of the building at the corner of 45th and 11th, just a short walk through the rain. You’ll be able to see some very cool demos showing work that’s been done by many of your fellow grad and undergrad students. Among others, we’ll show a robot playing chess, an interactive Lego playing system, interactive 3D mapping, and 3D Avatar-like virtual flythroughs of the lab.
And, there’ll be food!! So please stop by any time between 3pm and 6pm.
Cheers,Dieter
| Open House at Intel Labs Seattle on Monday, November 1, 2010 |
| |
| – Monday, November 1, 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. |
|

The lab is located on the 6th floor of 1100 NE 45th St, Seattle, three blocks from the main University of Washington campus. The open house will include posters and demonstrations of key research projects, opportunities to meet researchers, students and faculty, and refreshments.
Founded in 2001, Intel Labs Seattle is an exploratory research lab that is part of the Academic Programs and Research arm of Intel Labs. We are a center of excellence in Context-Aware Sensor-Driven Systems. Our researchers develop techniques that enable computer systems to be fully aware of their environments and to interact seamlessly with their users. We drive this agenda from a user-centered viewpoint, forming interdisciplinary projects, creating prototypes of novel devices and systems, and evaluating use in realistic settings. Our lab is based on an innovative model of industry-university research that includes a deep collaborative relationship with the nearby University of Washington, as well as Intel product groups. Our research staff is recognized as leaders in sensing and wireless devices, robotics, mobile networks and systems, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction.
During the last year, ILS researchers have worked on topics that include: sensing, vision and perception for context awareness; depth-cameras for 3D modeling and interaction; sensor systems that preserve user privacy; game playing robot manipulators; and wirelessly powered devices. This year’s open house will display these projects and more. |
| We look forward to welcoming you in November!

In the FWIW department….
In the midst of Halloween weekend, midterms, hang-overs from affiliates week, SIGMOD deadlines, and more, there’s an election on Tuesday and ballots have to be mailed by then. We’re going to live with the results of this one for years, so it would be worth digging out the ballot from the bills and other junk that’s shown up in the mailbox over the last couple of weeks and sending it in.
And while you’re at it, be sure to vote yes on Propo@#$#$%^$@

Subject: THANKS for Affiliates!!
To: Cs-Grads <cs-grads@cs.washington.edu>
Cc: Ed Lazowska <lazowska@cs.washington.edu>, Kay Beck-Benton <kbeck@cs.washington.edu>
Thanks to all of you for the phenomenal turnout for Affiliates — the
talks on Wednesday afternoon, the posters/demos on Wednesday evening,
and the job fair on Thursday.
We had more than 200 local alums join our affiliates for the
posters/demos on Wednesday evening — students from all degree
programs (bachelors, masters, professional masters, and doctorate) and
all years (I saw folks from as early as 1971 and as recent as last
year). It was a home run evening.
Today, just about EVERY recruiter said this was the best job fair they
had attended this year — far better than Berkeley’s or Stanford’s,
for example. Two reasons: First, it’s just CSE (these companies want
computer scientists and computer engineers); second, UW CSE students
really knocked their socks off.
Thanks again!!

Environmental Innovation Practicum: SmartGrid – Is it “Smart enough”?
Peter Christensen (Battelle’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory)
Tuesday, November 2
Johnson Hall 175, 4:30-5:50 p.m.
“Smart Grid” adds substantial IT “smarts” to bring digital intelligence, real-time communications, and control throughout the power system to operate the electricity-supply grid as never before. This is interdisciplinary work at its best–a cutting edge discussion of how clean-tech, engineering, policy, and business models are intertwined and why it’s important to understand the implications of each.
Open to all…
This event is part of EntrepreneurWeek, which is sponsored by the UW Foster School of Business Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, the Science and Engineering Business Association, and UW Center for Commercialization.

To all graduating seniors (or those who want to graduate Winter, Spring or Summer).
If you file your graduation paperwork by November 3rd and are graduating in winter or spring, you’ll receive graduating senior priority for the next two quarters. Ideally we’d like to two days in advance if you are planning to come in since many of you are transition students and it’s helpful if we can prep your paperwork before you get here.
You can check the main calendar on the current student site: http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/ugrad/current/
to find out when dropins are going to be held. We will also try to add some additional hours just for graduation appointments.
Go to this link to tell us what day you hope to come in. https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/cseadv/114482
If you don’t remember whether or not you’ve been in yet to file, you can go to your MyUW and check the projected graduation date on the front page. If that isn’t there but you’re still pretty sure you came in, just email us and we’ll look it up for you.
Thanks Everyone,
CSE Advising

Generally we only forward CSE relevant events, but this one you folks could have some good input on, so I’m forwarding this too.
