Mark your calendars! Our "Computer Science and Engineering New Student Orientation", will be held on Tuesday, September 23, 2008, from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. in CSE Building (EBU3B) room 1202. CSE faculty and staff will be on hand to talk with you about the following:

  • Our Major Programs in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Bioinformatics

  • Combined Bachelor's Degree and Masters of Science Degree
  • Undergraduate Research in the CSE Department and how to prepare for employment and Graduate School

What type of computer do I need to buy?
One question we get quite a bit is "What type of computer do I need to buy?". Dr. Paul Kube has put together an excellent web page that will answer this question.

    General
    A word to the wise: We are very busy during the first two weeks of the quarter (add/drop period), therefore, please plan accordingly. One more point: DO NOT believe every rumor you hear, always check with us first. This will save you a lot of headaches! Believe it or not, the department is a better source of information than your roommates(s) and/or friend(s).

    We are here to guide you and make your experience at UCSD a great one! We look forward to seeing you in the fall. In the meantime, enjoy your summer.

    Respectfully yours,

    Viera Kair and Patricia M. Raczka, (CSE Undergradaute Student Affairs Staff)
