Our office assists UMass undergraduates with enrollment in courses at Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges. Registration for a Five College course is easy, but it is different than registering for a UMass course. Each semester there are TWO registration periods for Five College classes.
Intermediate Algebra MATH-108 develops skills necessary for success in algebra-based, college-level math courses.
Additional Information: MATH 110 is equivalent to MATH 100, 102, 104, 180, and 184 but is taught over two terms rather than one. MATH 110 will act as a prerequisite for MATH 101, 103, or 105. UBC Admissions receives and assesses high school transcripts for incoming students.

Prerequisite: grade of C or better in E&C-ENG 212, 222 or 232.
This course introduces students to entrepreneurship, life in startup companies, and how to turn their ideas into companies. Topics include: Understanding the traits of an entrepreneur, Tools of the Lean Launchpad, Pitching, Finding Customers, Financing, and Startup culture. Students will plan and pitch an idea to the class. Guest speakers will give their "startup stories" as well.
The course requires students to work in small design teams to solve a significant engineering problem. Students develop, design, and implement a solution to the engineering problem in conjunction with a faculty advisor. The course reinforces principles of the engineering design process and serves as a capstone for electrical and computer engineering knowledge obtained in the ECE curriculum. The consideration of the ethical and social implications of technology and the basic concepts of business are also aspects of the course. Each student design team is expected to present information related to their project in both written and oral formats. Preliminary paper design is followed by implementation in the lab using digital and analog hardware design techniques and through software engineering. It is expected that a complete or partially working system will be demonstrated at the end of the course. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-CSE and BS-EE majors. Prerequisite: E&C-ENG 324 or 354.
Prerequisite: E&C-ENG 212 w/ C or better and either MATH 235 or MATH 331.
The theory of digital circuits and computer systems stressing general techniques for the analysis and synthesis of combinational and sequential logic systems. Limited to ENGIN, EE, and CompE majors.
This is a stand-alone independent study designed by the student and faculty sponsor that involves frequent interaction between instructor and student. Qualitative and quantitative enrichment must be evident on the proposed contract before consent is given to undertake the study.
This course will combine learning about the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender minoritized individuals (LGBTQ +) with the design and construction of computer programmable electronic light displays that reflect the students? course learning or personal experience. Particular attention will be given to examining the lives of LGBTQ+ people of color and LGBTQ+ people in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. The course will provide an introduction to computer programming and electronics for students without requiring any prior background in these topics. (Gen. Ed. SI, DU)
Prerequisite: grade of C or better in E&C-ENG 212, 222 or 232.
The theory of digital circuits and computer systems stressing general techniques for the analysis and synthesis of combinational and sequential logic systems. Limited to ENGIN, EE, and CSE majors.
This course explores the principles of computer networking and how the theoretical principles are implemented in practice. Introduction to concepts, principles, and practice of computer communication networks and the Internet with examples from existing architectures, protocols and standards. Emphasis on physical layer communication, data link layer protocols, routing protocols, transport layer protocols, application layer programming, network management, network security and wireless networks. Prerequisites: E&C-ENG 122 (or CMPSCI 121) & E&C-ENG 242 (or CMPSCI 187)
This course will cover the fundamentals of some functional materials and emerging electronic devices for Post-CMOS information technology. The electronic devices include logic, memory, storage, sensor, display and so on. Recent progress, current challenges and future directions will also be reviewed and discussed. The course is self-contained, however it will be helpful to have a basic understanding of materials science and semiconductor devices.
Electromagnetic fields in dielectric and lossy media, transmission lines, antennas and resonators treated with the concepts of duality, image theory, reciprocity, integral equations and other techniques. Boundary and initial value problems solved for several frequently encountered symmetries.
Contact instructor for details. This course is open to graduate students in Electrical and Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering only.
The degree requires 11 computer science courses, three math courses, and a four-course concentration.
The BA in CS requires four concentration courses as part of the required curriculum. The intent is to provide BA students with an opportunity to build relationships between computing and another discipline by including courses with content that is not available in our CS curriculum. To be eligible for the concentration, courses must be 200-level or above and acceptable for program requirements of the major in the other discipline. Courses from more than one discipline can be acceptable with permission from the Undergraduate Program Director (UPD). One of the four can be the fourth 200-level CS core course or a sixth 300-level elective in computer science. No junior-year writing courses are eligible for use in the concentration.
Every BS-CS major must satisfy a laboratory science requirement by taking two majors-level science courses in the College of Natural Sciences that include a lab component (minimum of 8 total credits). Currently accepted courses are: CHEM 111 or 121, 112 or 122; GEOLOGY 101 or 103/131 or 105/131; PHYSICS 151 or 181, 152 or 182. For CS majors that will have taken BIOLOGY 151/152/153, all three courses satisfy both majors-level science courses (contact [email protected]).
Double majors for whom Computer Science is the secondary major may use the Junior Year Writing requirement course from their primary major to fulfill this requirement. Computer Science primary majors also must fulfill the Integrative Experience requirement of General Education.
The Bachelor of Arts program in Computer Science will graduate computing professionals who have the necessary depth of expertise in computer science to have lifelong careers in the field , and who, at the same time, have sufficient exposure to a second discipline to be able to interact with professionals in that field in a knowledgeable manner, so as to apply advanced computer science techniques to problems in that second area. This degree is particularly appropriate for students who are interested in combining Computer Science with another discipline as a double major.
No course taken on a Pass/Fail basis may be used for any major requirements, including computer science, mathematics, science courses, outside electives, and four-course outside concentration courses. Students must achieve a grade point average of at least 2.00 in all courses used for major requirements. Courses with grades below C may not be used as prerequisites and should be repeated for a new grade.
