Welcome, prospective CSE students! ** Have questions and need answers? Check out our Frequently Asked Questions! First, take a look at our "Why Choose CSE?,"alumni profiles, Capstone Course, and Animation Course videos, plus our new brochure. Then, for more information and an opportunity to talk with an advisor, we would love to see you at one of our information sessions. Do you wonder what your class schedule would look like if choose a major in the CSE department or do you want to know how to sequence your classes within the department? Take a look at our planning resources. CSE attracts incredibly bright and innovative students at the University of Washington, and we make sure these extraordinary students get the education they deserve. An affirmation of our success is the UW Brotman Award for Instructional Excellence -- essentially a departmental distinguished teaching award – we received in 1999. Our students and faculty have also won prestigious university and national awards. The first UW Rhodes Scholar in 20 years was CSE alumna Emma Brunskill (now an EECS graduate student at MIT). That’s not all! See the other impressive awards CSE students have received over the years. Capstone Design Courses are a hallmark of CSE. In these classes, teams of students tackle complex hardware, software, and embedded system design and implementation projects of their own invention. Our students tend to define the "flavor" of their CSE education more in terms of the Capstone Design Courses they take than whether the degree says "Computer Science" or "Computer Engineering." Be sure to watch our videos of these courses showcasing capstone projects! Computer Science and Computer Engineering overlap with many other fields of study: Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Science, Information, Business, Technical Communication, and Electrical Engineering, to name a few. Differentiation can seem daunting, but in a phrase, CSE students design and build sophisticated hardware, software, and embedded systems that can make significant impacts on our world! . If you would like more information on our program, please feel free to contact our advising staff. Just have a quick question or two? Feel free to chat with an advisor (by clicking on the button below) when you see they are online.
