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-3210 Programming Language Survey –Sp 3 hours Systematic study of the principles, concepts, and mechanisms of computer programming languages: their syntax, semantics, and pragmatics; the processing and interpretations of computer programs; programming paradigms; and language design. Illustrative examples will be selected from a variety of programming language paradigms. Prerequisite: CS-2210 Data Structures Using Java. (Fee: $50) CS-3310 Operating Systems –Fa 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, security, and object-oriented design. Course content is developed through lectures, student research of the relevant literature, presentations, and programming projects using both C++ and Java. Prerequisite: CS-2210 Data Structures Using Java. (Fee: $50) CS-3410 Algorithms –Fa 3 hours Introduction to classical algorithms that have broad application in solving computer science problems; topics include analysis of algorithms, advanced data structures, graph algorithms, numerical methods, and NP-completeness.

Design project typically developing a compiler is required. Prerequisite: CS-3410 Algorithms. (Fee: $50) (even years) CS-3610 Database Organization and Design –Sp 3 hours Introduction to the analysis, design, and implementation of relational databases and The Structured Query Language (SQL); topics include data modeling techniques, data model to logical schema conversion techniques, relational algebra, SQL, database file organizations, query evaluation, transaction management, and client-server application architectures. Design project required. Prerequisites: CS-2210 Data Structures Using Java; MATH-2510 Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science. (Fee: $50) 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– Fa, Sp, Su 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. Course Descriptions | CRJU-4200 – CS-3950
