| ACM Swag |
As everybody is probably aware, there is no way
for CSE u-grads to buy swag. We are therefore going to start making our own hoodies and t-shirts, with blackjack and hookers.
Well, unless you guys send in some better designs……
So, we’ll be accepting designs from now to 10th of Jan.
We’ll then shortlist the submissions and put them to vote.
Your only restriction is that it cannot have the UW or the CSE logo.
Email acm-officers@cs.washington.edu for
any questions or with your proposed design by January 10th. |

FYI, just one more update on the new Software Quality course, it will count as a CSE Core Course. Once registration settles in for winter, the advisors will manually move it into the core requirement for anyone who asks us to via email. Just make sure to provide your full name and student number.
New class: CSE 490 E1: Software quality: techniques and tools
This course will be allowed to count as a CSE Core Course.
http://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse490e1/17wi/
This class will help you understand and achieve software quality. You will learn specific approaches that will help you to find bugs, or to avoid writing them in the first place. You will also learn the theoretical underpinnings behind these approaches.
If you want to get a job doing software development or testing, this class will help you to do so. If you want to do great in that job, this class will help you even more! You will also do a fun group project. Some students in previous incarnations have published their work at scientific conferences
If you have questions, feel free to contact the instructor:

Just a quick note to remind everyone that CSE 332, Data Structures, will NOT be offered spring quarter, so if you have 311 completed, you should plan to take CSE 332 this winter. We will likely offer 332 in the summer, but please note that summer is only a 9 week quarter and it’s a lot of information to pack in, so if you can take it winter, it may be in your best interests.
Additionally, there is a lot of room left in CSE 341. 341 is a great first year CSE course. If you can’t get into 312, 341 is a nice option for you. While not required, it still counts as a CSE Core Course.
As always, let CSE advising know if you have questions and/or concerns. We won’t have dropin advising over break, but we’re available for special appointments and email or gmail chat.
