7th ad CE@NWU 求问EECS分家信息，有价值回复加米！

求关于EECS分家之后，CE选CS课程的情况，有价值回复加米

恭喜楼主！我目前可能也想去NWU的CE项目。说下我的了解吧，虽说ECE和CS分家了，大家都说对转CS不友好了，但是情况其实是这样的。

首先在美国找CS工作的时候，据一些已经在大公司工作的学长学姐所说，CS和ECE基本是一起招的，所以重要的是知识结构而不是CS还是ECE；

其次，NWU要求12门课毕业，6门选在CE division下，6门可以选EECS其他的课。CE division下的课已经包括了很多比如OS/network/database/computer vision/computer graphics等CS的课，所以6门CE已经能学到不少，剩下6门可以选CS的课，补一补CE没有的。（具体参考下面的链接）

所以我觉得即便分家了，对找工作的影响并不大，只是转CS比较困难。然而就像上面说的，只要是EECS，其实都很好找CS的工作。

楼主可以参考一下这个链接。

学校你的回复，现在我关心的就是，那6门CS课还能否选的上，选课优先级是否有降低，会不会出现选不上想上 ...

把这个事儿给忘了😂现在补上吧，给大家一个参考。前段时间我发邮件问了一下CE的负责人，回复如下（）

I'm XXX and I've recently received admission to M.S. in CE (2019 fall) at Northwestern. I have a few questions about EECS courses and graduation requirements that I hope you can help me with. Thanks very much for your time!
（If you enter the program in fall 2019, then the new rules will apply to you, as stated in the manual that will be released before the end of the summer. The rules in the new manual, when it is released, will override anything I say in this email (that is, if there is a conflict between information in this email and the new manual, the new manual prevails). We are in the process of drafting and approving sections of the new manual and separating it from the CS and EE program manuals to avoid confusion. This is a long process, so please bear with us.）

1. I've noticed that ECE and CS are split this year. Does this mean it will be harder for ECE students to choose CS courses?
（No, it will be the same. CE is a joint program between the CS and the ECE departments, and CE-approved courses are a mix of all three programs.）

2. Last year's graduate manual said that we need 12 units to graduate, 6 of which must be CE courses. I've noticed that many courses I like, which were originally counted for 6 CE courses, now have ELEC_ENG title. Do EE courses count for 6 units of CE courses?
（The requirements remain mostly the same. There are some small changes, though. The authoritative list of courses that count towards the 6 CE credits will be published in the new guide when it is ready. To help you out with your decision, I include below the list that will be brought to the faculty for approval. While the list below is not final and may change before the end of the summer, it will give you an idea of what are the ballpark expectations. Subject to approval at the next CE faculty meetings, the courses that may count for the 6 CE credits are:

A.     Any course from the categories below:

. ΧEECS 332  Introduction to Computer Vision
EECS 336  Design and Analysis of Algorithms
EECS 390  Introduction to Robotics
EECS 356  Introduction to Formal Verification
EECS 459  VLSI Algorithmics
EECS 375/475      Machine Learning: Foundations, Applications, and Algorithms

B.      Any non-zero-credit 300-level or above taught by faculty with a primary appointment in CE:
Simone Campanoni
Alok Choudhary
Peter Dinda
Jie Gu
Nikos Hardavellas
Larry Henschen
Josiah Hester
Russ Joseph

EECS 396/496 Programming Languages Seminar
EECS 397/497 Advanced Topics in Compilers
EECS 397/497 Internet of Things Networks Seminar
EECS 397/497 Wireless and Mobile Health

These courses above will officially receive a COMP_SCI, COMP_ENG or ELEC_ENG designation starting fall 2019.）

3. Since many changes took place this year in the EECS department and its courses, do the rules in last year's graduate manual still stand? Is there a new manual this year? Are the requirements for graduation changed?
（There will be a new manual to be published before the end of the summer. The rules in that manual will apply to you. The requirements for graduation are again mostly the same, with some minor tweaks.）

I'm really concerned that the regulations for choosing courses from divisions are tightened, which may result in choosing courses I like more difficult. That's why I am asking so many questions. I hope you can understand.（Of course, not a problem. I think, however, that the requirements have hardly changed – they are mostly the same.）

Thanks again for your help and have a great day!

我觉得LZ可以发帖问一下小mi相关情况，看看有没有新的选课手册。

我看到课号前缀已经分成EE CE 和CS三种了，说实话我感到很愤怒，有本事在DDL之前公布这个事情啊，三月份才说明摆着就是坑人，我打算写封表达自己愤怒的邮件给NWU,并且表明如果不能选CS课了，就利用所有可能的方法broadcast这种行为，discourage之后的人申请他们学校！

官网上的选课手册还没变

如果duke选课还是特别友好的话还是去他家吧
