Topics include: arrays, linked-lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, tables, storage and retrieval structures, searching, sorting, hashing, and algorithmic analysis. Emphasis will be on abstraction, efficiency, re-usable code, and object-oriented implementation. Prerequisites: CS SI1410 and MATH QL1080. CS SI2450. Object Oriented Analysis and Design (4) F, S An Object Oriented Analysis and Design course which provides practical guidance on the construction of object-oriented systems. Its specific goals are: to provide a sound understanding of the fundamental concepts of the Software and Project Development Life- Cycle for the object model; to facilitate a mastery of the notion and process of object oriented analysis and design, and to teach quality design and development style through applications of object-oriented project development within a variety of problem domains. In depth coverage of UML and current Software Engineering models. Prerequisites: CS SI1410. CS 2550. Database Design and Application Development (4) F, S An introduction to database concepts, design and application development. The course will cover the SQL language, the design of a database using an entity-relation design tool, and the creation of applications using a development tool such as PowerBuilder. Topics will include normalization rules, triggers, stored procedures, and rules. Extensive time will be spent in the lab learning to use the tool and develop applications. Prerequisite: CS SI 1410. Recommended prerequisite/co-requisite: MATH 1630. CS SI2650. Computer Architecture/Organization (4) F, S A fundamental course designed to explore the specific physical and functional characteristics of computer systems. Topics will include the architecture of the PC including BIOS, interrupts, addressing, memory management, types of disk drives (such as SCSI and EIDE), types of buses, video cards, modems, network cards, hardware compatibility issues, number representations, and/or gates and basic digital circuit concepts. The course also introduces assembly language skills in popular 16 and 32 bit microprocessors. Prerequisite: CS 1030. CS 2705. Network Fundamentals and Design (4) F, S A comprehensive examination of the hardware and software components of a network and the practical techniques for designing and implementing computer systems in a network. Topics will include the purpose and use of various LAN, MAN, WAN configurations (Ethernet, rings HDLC, SMDS, ATM, Frame Relay, ISDN, xDSL, TCP/IP UDP/IP, x.25, PPP, Sonet and new protocols. 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.
