| Content | In the CSE Case Studies Seminar invited speakers from ETH, from other universities as well as from industry give a talk on an applied topic. Beside of attending the scientific talks students are asked to give short presentations (10 minutes) on a published paper out of a list (containing articles from, e.g., Nature, Science, Scientific American, etc.). If the underlying paper comprises more than 15 pages, two or three consecutive case studies presentations delivered by different students can be based on it. Consistency in layout, style, and contents of those presentations is expected. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | The talks ar in presence only (no zoom)! Student talks are in parallel sessions in the two rooms, the invited talks take place in the larger lecture hall. 75% attendance and a short presentation on a published paper out of a list or on some own project are mandatory. Students have to register their presentations online until the second Wednesday of the semester on https://rw.ethz.ch/the-programme/case-studies.html The student talks will be grouped by subject, so we'll decide the actual dates of the individual talks. Students that realize that they will not fulfill this criteria have to contact the teaching staff or de-register before the end of semester from the Seminar if they want to avoid a "Fail" in their documents. Later de-registrations will not be considered. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
