The techniques, idioms, and design patterns of object-oriented programming. Methods of object-oriented analysis and design with the Unified Modeling Language. Multi-thread programs, synchronization, and graphic user interfaces.
CS361 Advanced Data Structure and Algorithms
Common abstract data types, including vectors, lists, stacks, queues, sets, maps, heaps, and graphs. Standard Java interfaces for these ADTs. Iterators and generics. Choosing data structures and algorithms to implement ADTs, via analysis of their time and space complexity.
CS350 Intro to Software Engineering
An exploration of the software development process, with an emphasis on the tools and techniques that support project teams. Topics include: software development process models, requirements, automated testing, documentation, build, version and configuration management, issue tracking, and agile methods. The course requires each student to participate as a member of a project team and to demonstrate proficiency with a variety of development tools.

Topics include propositional and predicate logic, rules of inference, methods of proof, set operations, functions, complexity of algorithms, growth of functions, induction, counting, relations, equivalence relations and graphs.
CS355 Principles of Programming Languages
Survey of significant features of programming languages. Language types including imperative, functional, logical, and object-oriented are covered. Concepts include lexical and syntactic analysis, type systems, flow control, modularity, and parallel programming. Small programs in several languages required.
CS390 Intro-Theoretical Computer Science
Elementary study of theoretical aspects of computer science. Topics in formal languages and automata theory are covered including regular languages, regular expressions, finite automata, context-free languages, pushdown automata, grammars, Turing machines, and unsolvable problems.
CS410 Professional Workforce Development I
Provides students with challenges of business environments in developing a technology based project. Students identify a societal problem, identify solutions, define project solutions, develop project objectives, conduct feasibility analysis, establish organizational group structure to meet project objectives and develop formal specifications. Students make formal technical project presentations and develop web documentation. Students prepare a draft grant proposal.
CS417 Computational Methods and Software
Algorithms and software for fundamental problems in scientific computing. Topics: properties of floating point arithmetic, linear systems of equations, matrix factorizations, stability of algorithms, conditioning of problems, least-squares problems, eigenvalue computations, numerical integration and differentiation, nonlinear equations, iterative solution of linear systems.
CS411W Professional Workforce Development II
Students write professional and non-technical documents and continue the development of the project defined in CS 410. Written work is reviewed and returned for corrective rewriting. Students will design and develop a project prototype, and demonstrate the prototype to a formal panel along with delivering the formal product specifications and a draft formal grant proposal. This is a writing intensive course.
CS471 Operating Systems
Operating system structures. Multiprogramming and multiprocessing. Process management. Memory and other resource management. Storage management, I/O systems, distributed systems. Protection and security. The concepts will be illustrated through example systems such as Unix and Windows.
