Want to explore research at Baskin Engineering, meet new peers, and discover
lab opportunities?

CMPM 15: Research Explorations is a 1-unit course where students of all backgrounds (first-years too!) explore various themes in computing and design through low-commitment, student-run reading groups.

  • Join two 4-week reading groups based on your interests
  • Read and discuss research papers in weekly 1-hour meetings
  • Present two papers (one per group)
  • Learn about faculty research & potential opportunities—professors occasionally drop in to share more about their labs!
    At the end of the quarter, students can apply to join research labs! This course is a great way to explore research topics and build connections that could lead to future opportunities.

Enroll for next Fall quarter!
If you want to learn more about the course or dive deeper into the themes, visit this website or DM @explore.computing on Instagram.
