Computer Science department has been conducting Pathway to Internship series of hands-on workshops during the first 2 months of every term. Our goal is to teach you hands-on coding skills to enable you to get (better) internships and (better) jobs. As we approach the mid-terms, attendance tends to go down - we close them out once a lower threshold is reached. We have made them completely FREE - just show up on-time with a laptop! Typically, we run CodeWarmers sessions (introduction to programming contest problems - tests your problem solving and coding skills) Friday afternoons. Since we will have Internship fair this Friday, we have postponed it to next week, but we will start the weekend workshops right away. We will start OFF with 3 workshops on Saturdays and 3 workshops on Sundays - typically, one introductory level workshop, another advanced level workshop & one Computer Engineering workshop. All of them will run 1-6pm and we hope to give a snack around 3:30pm. I encourage you to check the latest information @ utd.edu/k12/utd before coming to each workshop (consider future weeks schedule as tentative - it will be firmed up as we get closer). Here is the copy of workshop for this week: Saturday, Jan 24 Introduction to Programming in Java (ECSS 2.415) Introduction to Eclipse IDE and Java language, Programming concepts related to Sequence, Selection & Loops, arrays & related operations, possibly Recursion? Saturday, Jan 24 Coding Questions for Interviews (ECSS 2.412) Several companies use coding on white-board as part of the technical interviews. Work on a few sample problems and learn from your seniors on how to tackle them. Saturday, Jan 24 Hardware Simulation using FPGA (ECSS 2.410) Sunday, Jan 25 Introduction to Programming in C++ (ECSS 2.415) Introduction to C++ language and IDE, Programming concepts related to Sequence, Selection & Loops, arrays & related operations, possibly Recursion? Sunday, Jan 25 Object Oriented Programming in Java (ECSS 2.412) Basics of Object Oriented Programming, Composition, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Interfaces, ??? Sunday, Jan 25 Embedded C programming with Arduino (ECSS 2.410) We will work on 2 hands-on projects in this workshop: 1. Motor Drive Control: PWM (Effective Battery Management), Applications of analog pins, Motor drive circuits using Darlington pair topology of Transistors 2. Serial Communication: Communication between two Arduino modules, Wired and Wireless communication protocols Let me know if there are any questions. I do plan to send weekly emails, but only to CS students, I request all others to check the website utd.edu/k12/utd or like fb/UTDCSDept to get the regular updates.
