IMPORTANT: If you are an undergraduate or 5th year MS student, or a non-EECS graduate student, please fill out this form to apply for enrollment into the Fall 2022 version of the course. Do not email the course instructors about enrollment -- all students who fill out the form will be reviewed. We will enroll off of this form during the first week of class. We will not be using the official CalCentral wait list, just this form.
