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).

SC 1415 Network Design

The aim of this course is for students to develop the skills necessary to provide assistance to network users and study the way in which a small or mid-sized ISP operates. This course provides an introduction to remote acces, routing, and network services and it will acquaint students with the servers that provide e-mail, website, and authenticated access services.

SC 1305 Computer Organization and Architecture

The aim of this course is for students to comprehend the configuration design of a computer system and the interaction between the components in it. They will understand and apply the fundamentals of computer systems and concepts of low-level software which are used for basic operation [mixed and sequential logic circuits, main components of a computer (Von Neuman): memory, input and output devices, central processing unit; fetch and execute cycles, operative codes, addressing modes, machine instructions, and assembly language].

SC 1215 Data Structures

The aim of this course is for students to understand and apply techniques and algorithms to represent and organize large amounts of data in a computer system in order to make programs more efficient. They will learn the different types of structures and how to implement them with static and dynamic memory.

SC 1110 Intermediate Programming

The aim of this course is for students to: (1) Understand and apply concepts related to the philosophy and principles of object-oriented programming (composition, polymorphism, inheritance, encrypting, and abstraction). (2) Use object-oriented programming tools for application development (modularity, classes, instances, methods, attributes, exception handling, simple data structure, abstract data types, garbage collector, validation).

SC 1105 Programming Principles

The aim of this course is for students to: (1) Discuss and identify the way in which a problem can be solved with a computer. (2) Define specifications and design of a solution through algorithms, flow charts, and pseudo codes. (3) Use an object-oriented programming language for implementation (methodology, rules, expressions, statements, input and output, control structure, and arrangement).
