The curriculum offers traditional and advanced tracks, with the first four courses in the Traditional track and the first two in the Advanced track delivered asynchronously. Students engage with current and emerging topics to develop skills as innovative software development leaders and proficient, high-quality coders. Additionally, students can specialize in high-demand areas through coursework in AI and machine learning, business intelligence and analytics, and software development. Traditional Coursework Advanced Coursework Areas of Focus #### Term 1 CS 501 Introduction to Java Programming (3)▼ Introduces Java programming to students with little experience, covering fundamental concepts like program structure, Java syntax, data types, object-oriented programming, abstract classes, interfaces, control flow, exception handling, recursion, event-driven programming. Students will write, compile, and execute programs on arrays/strings, including graphical user interfaces. Note: This is a foundational course to be taken by students who did not have the relevant background. CS 570 Data Structures (3)▼ Introduces common data structures and sorting algorithms using Java. Covers arrays, lists, stacks, queues, trees, priority queues, maps (e.g., hash tables). Principles include encapsulation, interfaces, testing, and asymptotic complexity analysis. Students implement and test programs using data structures with algorithms like insertion, selection, merge, and quick sort. Note: This is a foundational course to be taken by students who did not have the relevant background. #### Term 2 CS 590 Algorithms (3)▼ This course will provide focus on more complex data structures, and algorithm design and analysis, using one or more modern imperative language(s). Topics include advanced and/or balanced search trees, hashing, further asymptotic complexity analysis, standard algorithm design techniques, graph algorithms, complex sort algorithms and other “classic” algorithms that serve as examples of design techniques. CS 525 Systems Programming (3)▼ In this course, students will learn to develop complex system-level software in the C programming language while gaining an intimate understanding of the UNIX family of operating systems and their programming environment. Topics include the user/kernel interface, fundamental concepts of UNIX, user authentication, basic and advanced input/output (I/O), file systems, signals, process relationships and interprocess communication. Fundamental concepts of software development and maintenance on UNIX systems will also be covered. #### Term 3 CS 550 Computer Organization & Programming (3)▼ This course will provide an intensive introduction to material on computer organization and assembly language programming. Topics include structure of stored program computers; linking and loading; assembly language programming, with an emphasis on translation of high-level language constructs; data representation and arithmetic algorithms; basics of logic design; processor design; data path; hardwired control and microprogrammed control. Students will be given assembly language programming assignments on a regular basis. CS 561 Database Management Systems I (3)▼ This course will provide an introduction to the design and querying of relational databases. Topics include relational schemas; keys and foreign key references; relational algebra (as an introduction to SQL); SQL in depth; Entity-Relationship (ER) database design; translating from ER models to relational schemas and from relational schemas to ER models; functional dependencies; and normalization. #### Term 4 CS 520 Introduction to Operating Systems (3)▼ This course will focus on the use and internals of modern operating systems.

In this course, the student will learn how to create a complex global site through the creation of individual working modules, providing them the interpersonal skills required in business settings such as team building and cooperation. #### Term 5 CS 522 Mobile Systems and Applications (3)▼ Personal computing is now mobile and cloud-based. Disconnected mobile computing challenges many of the assumptions underlying much of today’s distributed systems. “Cloud computing” provides a powerful background computing facility for mobile devices, but also raises important issues of trust and privacy. Many of these issues arise in critical yet sensitive domains such as electronic healthcare delivery. Mobile computing applications are location-aware or context-aware; the privacy implications of these applications are profound. Mobile, and increasingly location aware, gaming systems are now one of the largest sectors of the world entertainment industry. The purpose of this course is to review the fundamentals of mobile systems and applications, and how they relate to services in the cloud. The course will review material from wireless communication, distributed systems, and security and privacy, as they pertain to the systems being studied. The course will involve programming mobile apps using a popular mobile computing platform, such as Android or iPhone, to get hands-on experience with the concepts being discussed in the class. CPE 595 Applied Machine Learning (3)▼ This is an introductory course for machine learning theory, algorithms and applications. The content aims to provide students with the knowledge to understand key elements of how to design algorithms/systems that automatically learn, improve and accumulate knowledge with experience. Topics covered in this course include decision tree learning, neural networks, Bayesian learning, reinforcement learning, ensembling multiple learning algorithms and various application problems.
