Introduction

My name is Vijeta and I am your computer science and software engineering representative. I am here to answer your questions about the ECA, the curriculum, and the CSE department. I can help you get involved, address your complaints, or anything really. You can reach me at cse@ecaconcordia.ca

Office Hours

I will be available in the ECA Office (H-838) every Monday from 11:30 to 13:00.

IBM Info Session

There will be an IBM info session on September 24th, from 17:00 to 19:00 in EV 3.309. This session is geared towards students who will be graduating soon. That means people in their last year only. This is not an info session for coop students. Once again: NO INTERNS.

Iron Ring

You can now fill out the official registration form for the Fall 2009 Iron Ring Ceremony. They must be submitted to the ECA Office in the Hall Building (H-838) by September 18, 2009 Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM – 5:00PM.

The official registration form is available at http://ecaconcordia.ca/files/ironring/RegistrationForm.doc

E-mail Harley Cooper, VP Academic at academic@ecaconcordia.ca for further details, but first take a look at the Iron Ring information pages.

CSE Seminar

A couple years ago, the CSE department used to have a half-day seminar where some selected professors would talk about their research. Dr. Mudur, the chair of the department, and I think it might be a good idea to bring it back. This event, if it occurs, will take place in the winter semester. If you have any suggestions (i.e. professor or area of research you may be interested in) please let me know.

MSDNAA – Free Microsoft Software

As an ENCS student, you can get free Microsoft software (legitimately) from the MSDNAA (including Windows 7 Pro). Just check out the AITS MSDNAA website.

Random Thoughts

Note: This was not part of the e-mail.
ECA frosh week is pretty much over. Orientation, corn roast, pub crawl, end everything else went pretty well. If you missed out on these events, there is still DUSTED happening this Friday. See you there!
SCS will be having a teacher meet-and-greet scheduled for next Thursday. The details are not finalized yet but I’ll keep you updated.
