Back to the books

22 Sep 2008
If word hasn't reached you yet, I'm going back to university fulltime for a Masters degree in engineering science: computer science.

I was asked to put together a schedule for myself, totalling 120 points and spread over 2 years. Each year should have 60 points, each semester should have about 30 points. All in all a difficult task. To make things worse, my university doesn't have schedules per course in any usable format. Instead, the schedules are rendered in some table-style spaghetti, loaded heavily with javascript and a lot of "please wait while loading" screens.

I wrote a perlscript to convert the schedule of a certain course to iCal format, so I can load them into my Evolution calendar.



If you need help getting it to work, send me a mail.

Anyway, I've created a schedule for myself and sent it in. These are the courses I would like to follow this year:

• Informatie-overdracht en -verwerking (5)


• Modellering en simulatie (6)


• Digitale en analoge communicatie (3)


• P&O Computerwetenschappen, hoofdrichting (8)


• Software voor real-time en embedded systemen (4)


• Capita selecta computerwetenschappen: Veilige software (4)


• Systeemtheorie en regeltechniek (6)


• Thermodynamica (3)


• Digitale elektronica en processoren (6)


• Beeldverwerking en visuele inspectie (3)


• Computergrafieken II (4)

And this is for next year (Excluding the 24point thesis):

• Capita selecta in de ingenieurswetenschappen: Athens (3)


• Beeldinterpretatie (3)


• Ontwerp en analyse van softwaresystemen, deel 1 (8)


• Compilerconstructie (5)


• Capita selecta, mens machine communicatie en multimedia (4)


• Multi-Agent Systems (4)


• Internetinfrastructuur (5)


• Advanced Programming Languages for A.I. (4)
