How about choosing CS 493 during course selection?

By
Want the chance to invent something and receive course credit?
Want to refine your ideas for your start-up before you graduate?
Want to win prizes?

CS 493/494 are the courses for you! Beginning in Fall 2018, CS majors will be able to take a two-course sequence that will take you from project ideation and selection to implementation and demonstration, to testing and a final “demo day”. Projects may range from new software systems, to contribute to existing open-source projects, to research projects. This will all be completed with a team of 3-5 members.

The first prize of $15K has been generously donated by CS alumnus, Sam Pasupalak, and the second prize of $10K has been provided by Microsoft. Prizes will be awarded as part of Demo Day at the end of CS 494.

CS 493
  • Offered for the first time in Fall 2018. You can select it during the Fall course selection period from May 23-28, 2018.
  • Prerequisites: CS 246, CS 341, CS 350
  • The plan is to offer it in every Fall term.
CS 494
  • Offered for the first time in Winter 2019.
  • You must have taken CS 493 in Fall 2018 to be eligible to take this course in Winter 2019.
  • The plan is to offer the course in every Winter term and all students must have completed the first course (CS 493) before enrolling in the second course.
