  14. Possible Research Areas of Focus 4. Research Real-World-Scale Computing Security Cyber physical systems Search Service science Future web platform and cloud computing

  15. Future Directions for CS Dept. 5. Vision Computer Science and Engineering will become more pervasive in all aspects of our future society

  16. Curricular Reform 5. Vision • Designing new programming courses for improving programming skills of freshmen/sophomores • Offering interdisciplinary education following the vision of pervasive computing • Developing CS-enabled interdisciplinary curricula • Collaborating with CT/knowledge service engineering/Bio/industrial engineering/information & media management/mathematics/electrical engineering • Providing fundamental Pervasive CS curriculum for other departments • Providing thread-based curriculum for undergraduate students • Various elective courses in multiple interdisciplinary areas • Sharing courses with other departments (with CS course numbers) • Sequences for 100~400 level classes • Bridge courses between core CSE and interdisciplinary areas • Collaborating with industry experts for curricula design • Globalizing educational effort • Internship with global IT companies such as MSR and Google • Dual degree programs • Undergraduate Research Program (URP) with foreign and domestic institutes

  17. Challenges & Issues (1) 5. Vision • Number of Applicants • Undergraduate • Graduate

  18. Challenges & Issues (2) 5. Vision • Instruction in English • Single Large department vs. Multiple Small department • What could be done to become “ Global Top 10”
