Your Hand Outs
You have each been given a packet of information
pertaining to Computing and Software Engineering. This
packet includes:
• Curriculum Sheets
• What to register for today
• Scheduling worksheet to help you build your schedule
• Waitlist information
• Differences between computing majors
• Advisor and Coordinator information
• New Computing Student Tips
• Student Groups and Involvement in CSE
• 2 Year Plans and DegreeWorks information
9
Curriculum Sheets
• Each major has a curriculum sheet that
includes general education requirements
(Areas A-E), major courses, other supporting
courses and electives
• These curriculum sheets ARE your graduation
requirements – FOLLOW THEM
10
Freshmen Registration
Look at the curriculum sheet for your major.
What to register for today (regardless of CSE major):
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Take KSU First Year Seminar OR classes in a learning
community
Take a math class
Take an English class
Take CS/CSE 1301
CGDD majors: also take CGDD 2002 (Fundamentals of Game
Design)
Don’t take all core first, think about pre-requisite
chains
11
Mathematical!
You should have taken the Math Advisory Placement
Test (MAPT) before today to help you determine the
best math class for you to begin with. The math
classes which you can register for without the MAPT
result are:
• Math 1111 – College Algebra
• Math 1112 – College Trigonometry
• Math 1113 – PreCalculus
MATH 1190 Calculus I registration requires a MAPT
result placing you in it, as well as a prerequisite
bypass given by the Math department.
12
Your First Programming Class
• We have 3 versions of the first programming class:
– CS 1301 – Java based (traditional). CS Majors MUST take
this. It is recommended that IT and SWE majors take
this version.
– CSE 1301 – Gaming based (C#). It is recommended that
CGDD majors take this version (but it counts for SWE
and IT too).
– CSE 1311 – For College of Engineering students ONLY.

“R” is Thursday
Some classes have lectures AND labs…you
must register for both
– Chemistry (CHEM 1211 and CHEM 1211L)
– Biology (BIOL 1107 and BIOL 1107L)
– Physics (PHYS 1111 and PHYS 1111L)
• PHYS lecture also includes a “recitation” time which is a
time set aside to review what was done in the lab
