CMPM 15: Research Explorations is a 1-unit course where students of all backgrounds (first-year students, 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
• 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.
  Keep this course in mind when enrolling for next quarter!
