This course is the first in the 2-course Computer Science Capstone sequence. Student teams learn about modern software design and engineering techniques and work together to use them and their past educational experiences at UCSB to analyze, specify, design, and prototype innovative solutions to complex, real world problems using computers.

CollegeI really enjoyed the class. It is one of the few CS classes at UCSB that feel like they actually would matter in industry. The midterm was hard, and the slides are long making it harder to review. The labs take time to finish, but with enough effort and reading anyone can get an A on them. The quarter long project was really interesting.
Prof. Krintz's 190B class was genuinely one of my favorite classes at UCSB. The class was extremely hard and pulled a lot of information from every other CS class (Databases, Comp Architecture, Networking, etc...), but the content we learned was highly applicable and useful. Lectures were amazing and engaging, labs were hard, project was fun.
First time this class (IoT Systems) is offered. Prof Krintz is super passionate about IoT. The lectures cover a wide range of topics like Arduino and MCUs, networking protocols, and radios. The lectures are engaging, labs are fun and very useful, and group projects are self-paced, and she is always there to give assistance. Can't recommend enough
CS48 is a project class. We have teammates evaluation and counted for like 10%. But Prof. Krintz showed us how much you got from your teammates evaluation, which is awful.
