Prerequisites (CSE 484): CSE 326 and CSE 378. CSE 303 is highly recommended.
You should have maturity in both the mathematics of computer science and in the engineering of computer systems. This means that you should: have a good understanding of data structures and algorithms; be comfortable writing programs from scratch in C and Java; be comfortable writing and debugging assembly code; and be comfortable in a command-line Unix development environment (gdb, gcc, etc). You should also have a good understanding of computer architecture, operating systems, and computer networks. Most importantly, you should be eager to challenge yourself and learn more!
Prerequisites (CSE M 584): CSE 378; one of CSE 451 or 461.
