CSE 301 Course Syllabus Garrett Yoshitomi ggy2@cs.washington.edu

Course Description

The CSE Internship Program offers students the opportunity to explore and develop their careers through professional practice. The structured plan of education impacts student work-readiness through a number of professional development skill-building activities. These activities include goal setting; analysis and reflection; feedback from employer; and sharing about the experience with other students upon return to campus. After completing the program, undergraduate students earn credit applicable toward their degree with CSE 301 listed on their permanent transcript. After accepting a qualified internship, students fill out the online registration and receive a confirmation email with an add code to register.

Course Objectives

CSE internships are intended to provide students with an opportunity to apply theoretical concepts from the classroom to the realities of the field.

Students are expected to increase proficiency in the following areas as a result of cooperative education: • An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. • An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed

judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.

• An ability to recognize the ongoing need for additional knowledge and locate, evaluate, integrate, and apply this knowledge appropriately.

• An ability to function effectively on teams that establish goals, plan tasks, meet deadlines, and analyze risk and uncertainty.

• Ability to manage change • Understanding office dynamics Some students will increase proficiency if the assigned duties provide the appropriate opportunities in the following areas: • Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data • Ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams • Knowledge of contemporary issues • Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems

Course Registration

CSE program staff will either register students for CSE 301 or provide add codes.

Other

Financial Aid Students who have financial aid or scholarships are responsible to inform Program staff of their status to ensure the required communication with Student Fiscal Services takes place. This communication is usually a letter emailed to sfshelp@uw.edu before the start of the internship. Students will also receive a copy of this letter and should use it if questions arise during their work period regarding their full-time student status. This does not pertain to students working part-time and registered in only 1 credit in CSE 301.

Campus Housing In most cases, students can return to campus housing without losing priority status after completing their work experience if they contact Housing & Food Services office immediately after accepting the internship or co-op job. Students are responsible for requesting a letter from the Program staff in a timely manner to retain housing priority. Priority retention for Stevens Court and Nordheim Court is not available.

Student Health Insurance Students are advised to have health insurance at all times. International students are required to maintain health insurance (see last page of Syllabus, “Special Note for International Students”). U-Pass Because students are not paying tuition, they are not automatically charged for a U-Pass. Students working locally who would like to purchase a U-PASS can do so in person from Commuter Services, located in the University Transportation Center (3745 15th Ave NE) Monday-Friday from 7:30am-5:00pm by cash, check, Husky Debit or credit card. Students must have a valid Husky Card to purchase a U-PASS. IMA Membership Students not paying tuition are also not charged for the IMA membership which is funded through the Student

Activities Fee as part of tuition.
