Communication Within CSE

Computer science involves both the theoretical and practical aspects of computation including the design of computing machines and processes, with subfields focusing on various areas like computational complexity, computer graphics, programming languages, and human-computer interaction. Each CSE student has a personal mailbox and ENIAC computer account for communication, with email being the primary means of contact between students and professors for notes, appointments, questions and more. Electronic bulletin boards have also been established for various CSE courses and student organizations to allow announcements and messages.

Computer science or computing science (abbreviated CS or CompSci) is the scientific and mathematical approach to computation, and specifically to the

design of computing machines and processes. A computer scientist is a scientist who specialises in the theory of computation and the design of computers.[1] Its subfields can be divided into practical techniques for its implementation and application in computer systems and purely theoretical areas. Some, such as computational complexity theory, which studies fundamental properties of computational problems, are highly abstract, while others, such as computer graphics, emphasize real-world applications. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to description of computations, while the study of computer programming itself investigates various aspects of the use of programming languages and complex systems, and human-computer interaction focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to humans.

Communication within CSE


Mailboxes
Each student in the School of Engineering and Applied Science has a personal mailbox. Undergraduate mailboxes for the Department of Computer Science are located across from the elevator on the second floor of the Moore Building. These mailboxes are our principal means of communicating with students, and students should get into the habit of checking their mailboxes on a regular basis.

Eniac Accounts
All CSE students automatically receive computer accounts on the ENIAC. With these accounts, students gain access to electronic mailing services and bulletin boards. Using electronic mail, students can send and receive messages to fellow students, faculty and staff across the university as well as to people at other institutions. Electronic mail is a powerful and important tool, and is probably the most effective means of communication within the CSE department! It is the best way to get in touch with a professor to set up an appointment or to ask a quick question. Professors will also frequently use it to distribute class notes and grades. Students can use it for chatting with friends from around the world, or getting answers to questions that cannot be answered locally. The ENIAC is maintained by CETS (Computing and Educational Technology Services). A seminar on how to use the ENIAC is typically offered by CETS during the first week of classes in the Fall semester. We strongly encourage

students to learn how to use the ENIAC as soon as possible. Questions concerning this seminar or any accounts should be directed to the CETS office.

Electronic Bulletin Boards


Various electronic bulletin boards have been established to allow circulation of a variety of postings, announcements and messages by subscribers. Most CSE courses have bulletin boards associated with them, as well as the Dining Philosophers, the undergraduate computer science student organization. See CETS for further details in regard to electronic bulletin boards.
