Course Descriptions
Computer Science (CS)
CS-1210 C++ Programming
–Fa, Sp
2 hours
Introduction to computer programming, software engineering
principles, structured program design and implementation, using
the C++ programming language; students will become familiar
with common commands for managing the file system and
constructing programs in the Linux operating system. Two lecture
hours and one one-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $50)
CS-1220 Object-Oriented Design Using C++
–Fa, Sp
3 hours
Further development of student problem solving and
programming skills from CS-1210 and increased exposure
to the C++ language by introducing pointers, object-oriented
language features and design, exception handling, event-driven
programming, and graphical user interfaces (GUI). Program
debugging, memory management, secure software engineering
practices, and following established language style and
conventions. Lectures are reinforced with on-line programming
exercises and application tasks in both the Linux and Windows
environments.
Prerequisite: CS-1210 C++ Programming.
(Fee:
$50)
CS-2210 Data Structures Using Java
–Fa, Sp
3 hours
Introduction to the proper use of data structures for
developing efficient software; data structures include stacks,
queues, priority queues, hash tables, trees, and graphs.
Students will develop skill in object-oriented design and the Java
programming language. Design project required.
Prerequisite: CS-
1220 Object-Oriented Design Using C++.
(Fee: $50)
CS-3310 Operating Systems
–Fa, Sp
3 hours
A state-of-the-art survey of operating system principles. Covers
fundamental technology and contemporary design issues such as
threads, real-time systems, multiprocessor scheduling, distributed
systems, and security. Course content is developed through
lectures, student research of the relevant literature, presentations,
and programming projects using both C++ and Java.
Prerequisite:
CS-1220 Object-Oriented Design Using C++.
(Fee: $50)
CS-3320 Linux Systems Programming
–Fa
3 hours
A study of the Linux operating system with special emphasis
given to developing low-level programming skills in C and
assembly language for the purpose of understanding Linux’s
separation of user- and kernel-space features, system code,
and how to develop kernel modules. In addition to the emphasis
on low-level programming, students will study various system
administration skills, scripting languages, administration
and programming tools, and gain a better understanding of
capabilities and limitations of the Linux operating systems (O/S).
Students will also learn general information on how the Linux
O/S is constructed, including its common organization into
subsystems and programmer interfaces. Finally, students will
practice administering user capabilities, the file system, access
controls, kernel capabilities, and other system services (e.g.,
firewall, printing and networking) by configuring their own Linux
distribution.
Prerequisites: CS-2210 Data Structures Using Java;
CS-3310 Operating Systems.
