- If you are on the registrar wait list, you must have room in your schedule to be added to CME211.
- If you experience any technical issues while registering, you must submit a HelpSU request. Feel free to ask questions on Canvas. Keep in mind that the teaching staff has no control over registration.
The prerequisite for CME 211 in the bulletin is stated as "introductory programming course equivalent to CS 106A or instructor consent". CME 211 is a fast paced course for computing skill useful in scientific and engineering applications. It is not a good first course in computing or programming. We assume that students have learned and practiced with basic programming concepts and structures such as variables, functions, loops, data structures, file input/output, encapsulation, and modularity (in some programming language). We review these concepts for both Python and C++. However, we have found that students without at least one formal undergraduate computing course quickly become overwhelmed with the pace of CME 211. A background of using MATLAB and/or Python as a part of (non-programming focused) science and engineering coursework is typically not sufficient for success in CME 211.
