Computer Science for Engineers

This site collects Computer Science education resources for Engineers who's main field of study in not Computer Science.

Project goal:

identify suitable education resources for MSc level students outside "core-CSE" but still interested in broadening or deepening their Computer Science competence
sketch syllabi for new courses or parts of courses to complement what is already available
(possibly) suggest changes in the current curriculum to make it easier to enter into the CSE field from outside

Terminology:

The "core CSE" programmes include
- "IT" (Software Engineering)
- "D" (Computer Science and Engineering)
- The CSE MSc programmes: MPIDE (ID = Interaction Design), MPSEN (SET = Software Engineering and Technology), MPALG (CSALL = Computer Science: Algorithms, Languages and Logic), MPDCS (SDCS = Secure and Dependable Computer Systems), MPNET (NDS = Networks and Distributed Systems), MPIES (IESD = Integrated Electronic System Design)
Some "near CSE" programmes are
- "E" (Electrical Engineering)
- "Z" (Automation and Mechatronics)
- "I" (Industrial Engineering and Management)
- A number of MSc programmes (TODO: fill in)
The other programmes
- 5y: TM, F, Kf, K, Bt, M, TD, V, At, A
- Many MSc programmes

Resources:

Student Add Course The general MSc student questionnaire, Spring 2009, has free-text comments about courses lacking
Votes from Directors of MSc programmes:
- Result summary: http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~patrikj/papers/MP_quest_20091101.pdf
- (original survey)
The student portal
- Searching for kewords like computing, programming, computation, computer, software, algorithm, information,
- Resulting course list
- The list of existing CSE-courses (taught in English), (all)
LADOK - should be possible to collect information on what courses non-CSE students take in the CSE area
Programme syllabi for non-CSE programmes: some may have CSE-related tracks
- The BSc programme "I" has an "IT-track": Object-Oriented Programming 2, Algorithms and Datastructures, Databases, Software Engineering Fundamentals
other universities - survey what they offer in the area (TODO)
the CSE course dependency graph
