About Computing@Carnegie Mellon
Formerly known as Computing Skills Workshop (CSW), C@CM is a graduation requirement for
all undergraduate students. This 3-unit course is primarily comprised of Carnegie Mellonspecific information and is intended to help students understand what resources are available as
well as their responsibilities as users in our computing community. The course runs for half of
the semester and meets twice a week for 50 minutes. Little work is required outside the
classroom, so attendance is mandatory.
Students are expected to complete C@CM in their first semester and will put the skills learned to
use in their academic coursework and extracurricular activities.
