This page gives basic information for CS courses - when offered, normal content, sequencing, etc.  You should also see the information at [[CS Programs]].
The goal of the computer science fall project contest is to showcase the types of work that ISU CS students work on. We thank all who submit a project.  This is great experience for you and helps the department show off your work to the outside world.


== CS Courses ==
Awards may be given for the following categories: 100 level coursework, 200 level coursework, 3/4/500 level coursework, 600 level coursework, games, data science, algorithms, teaching.  And if deemed appropriate we may declare a "best" project in some other categories as well.
The table below lists all currently offered CS courses, when they are normally offered, which programming languages are normally used, and links to the most recent syllabus for each faculty member who has recently taught the course.


A spreadsheet shows the normal sequencing of courses for the BS and MS degrees, and which terms the courses are normally offered in - '''[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mBt7E5r35rLXG5Ith0SjUMHiHmUtxH58v_ZOvt3bjvA/edit?usp=sharing course sequencing spreadsheet]'''.
Note that you can submit any of your work. It can be a project/assignment from a course (at ISU or otherwise), a personal project, something you have done for research, etc.

If there are no "Y" for a course, it is offered as needed. For courses listed as "even" or "odd", the course is offered only in even (or odd) numbered years.  Most CS courses are offered via distance. By default, each CS course is offered in a face to face section and a simultaneous online synchronous section (over Zoom).  A few 400 level undergraduate courses have lab sections that are taken with the course (401, 456, 457, 458); the 500 level courses do /not/ have lab sections that are taken (so undergraduates take CS 401 and 401L, while graduates would take just CS 501).

Revision as of 18:28, 22 October 2021

The goal of the computer science fall project contest is to showcase the types of work that ISU CS students work on. We thank all who submit a project. This is great experience for you and helps the department show off your work to the outside world.

Awards may be given for the following categories: 100 level coursework, 200 level coursework, 3/4/500 level coursework, 600 level coursework, games, data science, algorithms, teaching. And if deemed appropriate we may declare a "best" project in some other categories as well.

Note that you can submit any of your work. It can be a project/assignment from a course (at ISU or otherwise), a personal project, something you have done for research, etc.

Format and Submission

Each submission should be a one page slide (pdf preferred, exported/saved from powerpoint, google slides, etc.). The slide should contain the following information. You can check sample submissions to see two example slides (thanks to Zach Noble for providing these).

  • Project name
  • Category - if done as part of a course, indicate which course, and if not then you could put "personal project" or something along those lines.
  • Link to sourcecode - on github, gitlab.indstate.edu, gitlab.com, or somewhere you have posted the code that is publicly accessible.
  • Goal - what problem is trying to be solved / what is the purpose of the project.
  • Description - a few bullet points or sentences describing the project.
  • Graphic - some screenshot, chart, or some kind of figure related to the project. Include a caption if the figure is not self explanatory.

Deadline to submit is Wednesday Oct 20, 2021.

To submit send your submissions as attachments to znoble1@sycamores.indstate.edu with subject "project competition" and cc jkinne@cs.indstate.edu. Make sure to send your submission from your ISU @sycamores.indstate.edu email address.

Other Rules

  • Multiple submissions - you may submit as many different submissions as you like.
  • Posting of projects - by submitting you agree to have your submission posted on the department website/wiki. You can opt-out by asking to not have your submission posted, though this might impact your ability to be declared a winner.

Judging

  • Winners will be declared based on feedback from CS faculty and/or graduate assistants. Judging will be based on some combination of the following: functionality of the program, how interesting is the idea, how tricky or complicated is the problem, how elegant is the solution, how well-organized/documented is the code.
  • Winners will be declared in some subset/superset of the categories mentioned at the top of this page. Honorable mentions might also be declared.

Results

The following is a pdf that contains the projects selected: https://cs.indstate.edu/info/files/project_showcase_2021.pdf. Thanks to all who submitted projects! And we are certainly very proud of the excellent work being done by students at ISU!
