Wed, 1:00-:50pm, EGR 2112 (This may change-
watch for announcements!)
1) To learn about a variety of advanced
topics in compilers and computer architecture for microprocessors and embedded
systems
2) To learn to research and present
technical information.
The computer engineering seminar is a
1-credit course. It is not a free credit, as some students believe. Rather, you
can expect to do about one third the amount of work as compared to a 3-credit
course.
Each student will have the following
tasks:
To accomplish the above, each student
will be required to select one topic to research and present, from the list
provided. One student will then be assigned to present that topic in a class
presentation.
10 days prior to leading a topic, the
students presenting it must send me the names of at least two papers (one main
paper, plus another) that will be the focus of discussion (Look at instructions
on the class homepage). Copies of these papers will be distributed in class one week
before the topic is covered, or if an online version is available, the students
should print out the paper from the web. During the seminar period, the
students will spend about 15 minutes on an overview, 15 minutes on the technical
details, and 20 minutes for questions and answers.
Before each seminar, every student
(including those presenting) will submit a half-page (approx
30-lines in ASCII) pre-seminar report that answers a few key questions about one
of the main papers that will be presented. The presenters must write on
their own main paper in this report.
