Media type and structures (repeaters, bridges, switches, hubs, routers with routing algorithms, and gateways), signaling/data encoding, multiplexing, error detection/correction and flow control, packet formats, network classes, and subnetting. Prerequisite: CS 1030. CS 2780. Windows Application Programming (4) not currently offered CS 2800. Individual Projects & Research (1-4) 5m, F, Sp The purpose of this course is to permit Computer Science majors to develop an individual project, program, system, or research paper, with coordination and approval of a faculty mentor. The final grade and amount of credit awarded will be determined by the department, depending on the complexity of the upper division work performed. Note: Only 4 credit hours of either CS 2800 or CS 2890 can apply to a CS degree as an elective course, and only a maximum of 6 hours of both CS 2800 and CS 2890 may be taken to satisfy missing credits or to achieve full time academic status. Prerequisite: CS 1410. CS 2890. Cooperative Work Experience (1-4) 5m, F, Sp The purpose of this course is to permit Computer Science majors who are currently working in a computer related job or internship to receive academic credit for their work, with coordination and approval of a faculty mentor and their supervisor. The amount of upper division credit awarded will be determined by the department, depending on the nature and quantity of work performed. Note: Only 4 credit hours of either CS 2800 or CS 2890 can apply to a CS degree as an elective course, and only a maximum of 6 hours of both CS 2800 and CS 2890 may be taken to satisfy missing credits or to achieve full time academic status. Prerequisite: CS 1410. CS 2920. Short Courses, Workshops, Institutes and Special Programs (1-4) Consult the semester class schedule for the current offering under this number. The specific title and credit authorized will appear on the student transcript. CS 3030. Scripting Languages (4) F, Sp This course addresses the design of scripting languages and their applications. Scripting languages can be used to manipulate text and data using subtle and complex coding to automate many tasks. Students will learn to write simple scripts to automate system administration tasks using appropriate languages. This course explores the nature of scripting, the role of scripting languages, introduces some of the popular scripting languages and their applications, and provides skills in scripting language design.
