Presentation Transcript

  1. Opportunities: About to Graduate? • Consider graduate studies in the Department of Computer Science • Many, many research areas: AI, graphics, machine learning, theory, empirical algorithms, bioinformatics, robotics, computer vision, natural language, networks, security, software engineering, databases, verification, scientific computing, ... • M.Sc. takes 16-24 months, including 8-12 months of coursework and 4-16 months of research • You get paid! • Apply ASAP (accepted until at least end of February) Ian M. Mitchell — UBC Computer Science

  2. Opportunities: Not about to Graduate? • Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRAs) • See what academic research really looks like • Many research areas: ... • Google “ubccsusra” for full list of projects seeking students • I have several project proposals: • Automated parameter discovery for my verification software • Control synthesis from nonsmoothinterpolants under uncertainty • Collaborative control scheme testing for a smart wheelchair • Serious games for wheelchair training • 16 weeks, flexible schedule • You get paid! • Email potential sponsor ASAP (full applications due by Feb 14) Ian M. Mitchell — UBC Computer Science

  3. Opportunities: Special Courses • Get credit for learning about something that is not part of our regular course offerings • CPSC 448, Directed Studies in Computer Science: Supervised reading, participation in a seminar, or programming projects. • CPSC 449, Honours Thesis: Under supervision of a faculty member, students investigate a research topic and prepare a thesis. • CPSC 490, Student Directed Seminars: Self-directed, collaborative studies, in a group-learning environment, initiated and coordinated by senior undergraduate students with the supervision of a faculty advisor. • Align with a regular teaching term (including summer) • Talk to CS advisor or potential supervisor before the term Ian M. Mitchell — UBC Computer Science

  4. Beyond CPSC 302 / 303 • More ways to learn more about numerical analysis in regular courses: • CPSC 402 / 406 are taught in alternating years • Math, EOAS and Physics have a few numerical courses as well • Graduate courses in numerical analysis are taught every year (and undergraduates can take them with instructor permission) • If you have further questions about these opportunities contact Ian Mitchell (mitchell@cs.ubc.ca), your instructors or a CS advisor Ian M. Mitchell — UBC Computer Science
