Advising for Spring Semester begins on Monday, October 26th and registration begins on Monday, November 2nd.  The CS Department is pleased to offer three new courses:

American Computer Museum

The American Computer Museum recently relocated close to the MSU campus.  The museum is operated by two long time friends of the Computer Science Department: George and Barbara Keremedjiev.  Please consider taking advantage of this fantastic resource!  Billings Gazette article.

NSF Grant

Binhai Zhu has been awarded a $107K NSF grant to carry out a project entitled Discrete Frechet Distance and Its Biological Applications.  The project utilizes discrete Frechet distance to visualize and compare protein backbone similarities.  The grant runs from September 2009 through August 2011.  Congratulations Binhai!

SMART Scholarship

Justin Krohn, a junior majoring in computer science and minoring in computer engineering, has been awarded a prestigious Defense Department SMART scholarship.  Congratulations, Justin!  MSU article.

Courses Only M.S. Option

Starting in Fall 2009, the CS Department is pleased to be able to offer Master's degree students a courses only option.  This option is similar to the project option, but requires 4 credits of approved coursework in the place of the 4 credits of CS 575.  The thesis option and project option will both continue to be offered.

Videos

Please see the videos that Sandeep Gurram made for the CS Department during Spring Semester 2009.  The videos feature current students, staff and faculty.  Eventually, these videos will make it onto the website in a more permanent manner.  Thanks, Sandeep!

NSF Career Award

Congratulations to Neil Tang who has been awarded a National Science Foundation Career Award.  The NSF Career Award is one of the most prestigious grants for an early career researcher to win and it marks the first time that someone in the CS Department has won this award.  Great job, Neil!  MSU article.

New CS Degree Options

Starting in Fall of 2008, undergraduate students will be able to pursue one of two B.S. options: the professional option or the interdisciplinary option. To learn more, see this website or speak with your advisor.  On September 30, the MSU website featured the interdisciplinary option with this article.
