The Industry Forum is designed to expose students to topics that are not discussed in depth as part of the normal curriculum, but that are likely to be important after they graduate. Each week one or more guest speakers, typically local and national business leaders, will give a talk and answer questions on a topic of interest to them. Topics will run the gamut from the highly career oriented (e.g., how to write a resume and interview or how to decide if graduate school is right for you) to the highly technical (e.g., how video special effects are generated or how software development organizations manage complex system development). The objective of the course is for students to understand what kinds of careers are available after graduation and how students should be preparing beyond their coursework.
Schedule (subject to change)
Assignments and GradingFor each class meeting, each student should submit a talk evaluation as described here. Students must hand in (at least) ten written evaluations. Assignments are due at the start of the following week's class. Turn them in via email to the organizer. In addition, each student must write a 5-page final report on a topic related to the course, e.g., an overview of what you learned/liked/disliked, a more detailed study of a subject that one of the speakers raised, etc. The 5-page final report is due on the last day of classes. Mailing ListOnce you are enrolled in the course, signup for the class email list (cs3011@list.eng.utah.edu) ASAP. You may do so via https://sympa.eng.utah.edu/sympa/info/cs3011.
Applying CS 3011 Towards Your CS ElectivesEAE students will not be able to count CS 3011 (or any one- or two-credit courses) as an elective.For regular CS students, CS 3011 can be applied towards a CS elective course requirement, and you can retake CS 3011 for credit up to three times. Seven CS electives, 3+ credits each, 3000-level or higher are required for the regular CS track. Six (6) full CS courses (3-4 cr) must be taken. The 7th course may be any combination of Senior Capstone Design, CS 3011, CS 3020, CS 4010, CS 4190 or CS 5040 (up to three credits). Four-credit classes cannot be combined with one or two-credit courses to equal the final elective.
