Important announcements about registration:
First, ALL CE students and any CS wanting to take hardware courses, please note that CSE 369 will not be offered this *fall* quarter, so you should plan to take it by spring if you need EE 371 or other hardware courses before next spring.
Second, here is the proposed lineup for summer quarter:
142
143
373
331
332
333
344
And finally, we’re going to hope to have the fall proposed ugrad course schedule out by the time spring quarter starts, but for now, you can just look at past years and make your best guess as to what will be offered since we try to keep things similar year to year.

CSE majors who are looking for a full-time job or internship this year should consider participating in our CSE Mock Technical Interviews the evening of Wednesday, February 1st. Several outstanding companies will be participating to run CSE students through a single half-hour simulated technical interview. The sessions will place students one-on-one with a hiring manager or engineer who regularly conducts technical interviews. Interview questions will include puzzles, logic, data structures, coding and more with a ten minute feedback session following. Mock interviews will take place in the CSE building.
Registration is open now for all CSE students. RSVP here!
Registration will close at 9:00am on Friday, January 27th. Students will be informed of their interview time by the end of the day Friday. I will inform all students who were not able to get interviews via email on Friday as well.
Students can choose one of three offered interview times from the linked sign-up form: 6:00-6:45 pm, 6:45-7:30 pm or 7:30-8:15 pm. Space is limited. Slots will be assigned in order of sign up and by considering both departmental seniority and who has completed internships in the past. If we do not have enough room for all interested students, we will put some students on a wait list.
If you have any questions, please contact Maggie: maggiem@cs.washington.edu

Hi-
CSE is proud to take part in the celebration of Jacob Lawrence- for the next month, CSE’s Jacob Lawrence pieces will be on display at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery, also known as *The Jake*. We’ll miss having the work in the building , but it won’t be too far away, or gone for too long.
The “Legend of John Brown”, Man on a Scaffold, and The Builder’s Suite are in the process of being removed today. The work will be returned to the building on March 6.

Dear CSE majors,
Earlier today, you received an email from Dan Grossman, our Acting Chair, introducing our department’s new Inclusiveness Statement. Your advisors are proud to have helped write this and to support it.
Our Diversity Committee is particularly happy that the statement was finalized and announced this week — the week of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and a time when many of us are thinking about and concerned about societal and political changes that could affect members of our community. CSE does not promote any political position — our diverse department doesn’t universally agree on political issues, and it’s not allowed as a government organization. We can, however, state our values, and this feels like an important time to make those values clear.
We work hard to be a supportive community. Each of you was invited to join CSE based on your own individual ability to succeed and contribute here. You come from all kinds of backgrounds, but you were all carefully chosen through a very selective admissions process. It’s important to us that you are able to fulfill your potential here, without barriers of bias or exclusion. It’s also important that you each uphold CSE’s values of inclusiveness: supporting your peers, helping us make progress in our ongoing efforts to be diverse and inclusive, and representing CSE well by carrying these positive values into your future work.
As our president Ana Mari Cauce reminded us in August, “Our University’s motto is ‘lux sit’ — let there be light. Let us strive to create light.”
Best,
CSE Undergraduate Advisors
Crystal, Raven, Jenifer, Maggie, and Elise

Subject: new CSE inclusiveness statement
To: cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu, vgrads@cs.washington.edu, cs-grads – Mailing List <cs-grads@cs.washington.edu>, postdocs@cs.washington.edu
I’d like to thank the students, faculty, and staff on our CSE Diversity Committee for creating a department inclusiveness statement that was approved by the CSE Executive Committee earlier this week.
This short document does an excellent job of summarizing important long-standing norms of our community. We have much work to do and statements are not the same as actions, but it’s nonetheless really great to have this resource as a written reminder of values we care deeply about and insist upon.
Dan Grossman
Acting Chair, Computer Science & Engineering

Research opportunity in the database group
Our recently-released PipeGen tool is designed to improve the performance of data transfer between Java-based database systems. We are looking for a talented, strongly-motivated individual to extend this tool to support databases written in C and C++. This is a low-level project that involves applying our existing techniques (e.g., static analysis and instrumentation) in this new runtime environment. It is an excellent opportunity to gain experience with applying state of the art technologies to a real-world, practical problem.
The right candidate will be experienced with lower-level C/C++ constructs and ISAs such as x86, comfortable working with (and potentially hacking on) compiler tools such as LLVM and Clang, be familiar with AST manipulation and code rewriting, and have strong software engineering skills. Strong performance in several of the following courses is preferred: 331, 333, 401, 344/444, 351/451.
Potential tasks include:
* Creating a framework that automatically executes and instruments selected C/C++ unit tests
* Developing a framework for C/C++ programs to identify and rewrite pattern-matched C/C++ idioms
* Writing rules to support targeted PipeGen modifications (e.g., find all export file open invocations)
Interested candidates should forward the following details to bhaynes@cs.washington.edu:
* CV or resume
* a current transcript
* any other relevant details (e.g., a personal website, GitHub/StackOverflow profile, direct links to a relevant projects)
* a one-paragraph summary of your understanding of the SoCC paper listed on our project website
We will contact selected students in a few weeks for interviews. We currently offer this opportunity as independent study credit, with the possibility of extending this to a 5th year M.S. project if there is mutual interest.
