Pathways in Computer Science, 2007 mp4- High mp4- Low Youtube
This video illustrates the diverse pathways that students pursue after receiving Bachelors degrees in computer science or computer engineering. Its goals are:
  1. To demonstrate that a computer science or computer engineering degree is terrific preparation for almost any imaginable future!
  2. To profile several career options that a student may not connect with this industry.
    • Research scientist in computational biology
    • Graduate student working on technology to improve forest firefighting techniques
    • Neurobotics -- making better prosthetic devices for people with disabilities
    • Graduate student working to make textbook graphics readable to blind students
    • Undergraduate student working in India to connect rural communities through technology
Urban Sim Capstone, CSE 481e, Spring 2007 Windows Media

This capstone featured a set of team projects based on UrbanSim (www.urbansim.org), a system for simulating the development of urban areas over periods of 20-30 years. UrbanSim's purpose is to help inform public decision-making about major transportation and land use decisions, such as expanding a light rail system or a freeway, or rezoning to encourage the redevelopment of part of the city. Many of the projects were done by teams consisting of both CSE undergraduates, and graduate students in a companion class in urban modeling.
