Timeline

Merging of classes approved last winter

Joint offerings starting Autumn 2014

Renumbering, other cleanup during 2014-2015 school year


Joint classes with different numbers (for now)

Mix of old-style and new-style 2nd digital logic class

Some add codes needed in places
Bottom line: new options to current students, but old structure still
available.

Student plan


If you know your concentration is embedded

Do curriculum as normal. However, you can pick whether to take 332 or 371 (or
just take both).

If a concentration course isn’t in EE in a quarter, see if there is a CSE equivalent
that quarter.
If you know your concentration is digital VLSI



Either take 476-477 next year (2014-2015), or take 371 next year.
If you are considering embedded or digital VLSI

Like 271 and CSE 142 -> try embedded, take 472 to figure out for sure.

Like 271 and 331/circuits -> try digital VLSI, take 476 in Autumn.
If you aren’t considering embedded or digital VLSI

Take 271 – important class for most tracks. Plus, it might entice you…

If interested in computation (DSP?), try CSE 373, CSE 374, CSE 351
Questions?

Advising – they know all the details.
