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 Mellon-specific
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.
