SC 2565 Digital Effects

The aim of this course is for students to learn and use techniques for the creation of special effects, graphical integration, audio, video, composition, lighting, particles, animation, and the combination of real and digital elements, blue screen, and alterations with a development software. Projects that generate these effects will be developed.

SC 2505 Advanced Programming

The aim of this course is for students to master and apply programming design principles by using object-oriented programming language to learn concepts such as flat files and databases, fundamentals of design, interface development, and event handling (usability, GUI, applets, events, listeners, files, tables, connection to databases (JDBC), exception handling, templates and patterns, and validation).

SC 2301 Operating Systems

The aim of this course is for students to: (1) Learn the basics of the software design that manages the resources of a computer system, its importance and significance. (2) Analyze how this software design manages the resources of a computer system. (3) Analyze the main algorithms for handling concurrency. (4) Examine the techniques used to manage the processor, memory, peripheral equipment and file systems (processes, multiprogramming, time sharing, asynchronous processes, files and memory management, scheduling, security and privacy) of a computer.

SC 2205 Databases

The aim of this course is for students to: (1) Learn about the importance and role of data bases in an organization. (2) Understand the logical structures and models of databases and their application to solve real cases using database managers. (3) Learn and apply techniques for the effective and efficient management, retrieval, research, and update of information. (4) Study basic concepts of database systems that enable the logical design by using the Entity-Relationship and Relational Models.

SC 2125 Software Quality

The aim of this course is for students to learn and understand the process and need to ensure software quality and its production at a large scale as well as the determining elements for achieving it. They will research and implement international standards and tools to generate and ensure the development of an export-quality product (CMM, ISO, Six Sigma).

SC 2006 Software Architecture

At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to define, justify, implement, and evaluate software architecture and design. They will apply principles, methods, and techniques to develop its different components in order to increase the quality of the applications which are built in both the academic and the professional environments.

SC 2001 Software Engineering Integrative Project

The aim of this course is for students to: (1) Understand and apply techniques and methodologies for the design and development of object-oriented software. (2) Identify and specify objects, classes, behaviors, relationships, rules, and formal techniques for software development. (3) Use modeling tools such as UML to illustrate the analysis and design of an object-oriented methodology (software testing, metrics, reuse and maintainability of software, and recursion).
