Welcome to the EL/R (Section B - Research). Through a series of up to three courses (CSE 302/303/402), you may select and contribute to a research project from a wide range of topics and areas and work closely with one of our faculty members who is an expert in those areas as your project mentor. You will also receive practical technical and soft skills training and guidance for research, and guidance of how to get into a research career as a computer scientist.
In this series of courses, you are expected to work with the same team throughout the three consecutive semesters. To continue in a project in subsequent courses, you are expected to demonstrate good performance through the project, including participating in regular meetings and lectures, responding to communications, making reasonable research progress and producing research artifacts (e.g., software/hardware prototypes or proofs and analysis, technical reports/publication and/or presentation).
As part of your degree program:
To join one of the available projects, you need to both be officially enrolled in Section B of one of CSE 302/303/402 and fill out this project preference survey. You do not have to be enrolled first to submit a project preference survey. If the course is at capacity, you have not been enrolled and you are already assigned to a project, please submit email the course instructor and submit a force registration request. Please feel free to make a new submission of the survey if you need to update your information in a previous submission.
You should complete the survey as soon as possible because the project mentors of your preferred projects will need the information to make recommendations for assignment. In any case, please make sure to complete the survey no later than the first day of the semester so we can complete your project assignment on time.
