CS-3920 Computer Science Internship

–Fa, Sp

1–3 hours

An opportunity for a computer science student to work closely

with an industrial advisor. Specific attention is given to solving

a particular problem(s) in the industry or firm. A faculty advisor

assists in supervising and approving the internship, including

assessing the number of credit hours. A final report (approximately

seven pages per credit hour) describing the experience, including

the problem and solution, is required. Must be arranged with a

faculty sponsor and work supervisor before starting. No more

than one hour of CS-3920 can be used to fulfill program technical

elective requirements.

Prerequisites: junior or senior computer

science major status; faculty advisor permission.

CS-3950 Topics in Computer Science

1–3 hours

Selected topics in computer science at the 3000-level that will

complement or extend existing 2000- and 3000-level courses

or expose students to topics not taught in other courses. Topics

may be proposed by the computer science faculty or students.

Prerequisite: permission of instructor.

CS-3980

1–3 hours

Independent Study in Computer Science

–Fa, Sp, Su

Opportunity to perform independent study or research in

computer science and allied fields of application. A formal

proposal for study must be approved by the faculty advisor before

registering for this course.

Prerequisites: junior or senior computer

science or engineering major status, and permission of instructor.

CS-3220 Web Applications

–Sp

3 hours

Introduction to the design and implementation of web-based

applications. Technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, Javascript,

JQuery, PHP, Java Servlets, XML, and MySQL are explored.
