This course presents techniques and methodologies for software development with modern tools. It introduces students to the software development life cycle and best practices for source code management, testing, debugging, and building. Particular focus will be on building individual skills in the development and testing phases of the life cycle. Students will be expected to work with existing medium size code-bases that are implemented in di_erent programming languages. Students will be exposed to a variety of software tools and will be expected to use them throughout the course.
This course introduces students to the concepts of database management systems and database design. Topics include: Database (DB) components, DB design using entity-relationship (relational and object oriented), SQL, and transactional properties and techniques to support them. The con-cepts will be reinforced using one or more Database Management Systems (DBMS).
A server-side scripting language is used to create web pages with dynamic content. The course provides the technology necessary for connecting client web pages to web servers, and processing and storing information obtained using forms during web sessions.
Information security is becoming increasingly important in today’s networked world, and is impacting every aspect of our lives including finance, healthcare, government, education, arts and entertainment. The objective of this course is to teach the basic principles of information security from the perspective of providing security awareness and its best practices for the real world.
This course will introduce students to software projects including their structure, organization and management. Topics include project management, agile development, theory of software engineering. Topics and their order are subject to change as the course evolves. There is no programming in this course. Instead, students will be do a lot of reading and write a research paper.
In this course, students work in project teams to solve a practical applied computer science problem for a community group such as a charity, non-profit organization, or educational institution. Team members are drawn from all years of study. The project gives students an opportunity to develop their technical and professional skills.
This course is an introduction to calculus with a focus on applications to computer science. Students will be exposed to examples from graphics, machine learning, robotics, simulation, and other areas of computer science. Topics covered will include single variable limits, derivatives, integrals, differential equations, and Fourier series.
This course is an introduction to formal reasoning and discrete mathematics with applications to computer science. Students will be introduced to formal notation and reasoning about problems and algorithms. Topics include: sets, sequences, and summations, simple proof techniques, elementary numbertheory, back-of-the-envelope approximations, combinatorial objects. Applications and relevance of these concepts in computer science will be emphasized.
This course is a self-contained introduction to Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra. Topics include: sub-spaces, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, systems of linear equations.
The Faculty of Management includes the schools of business, public administration, library and information studies and resource and environmental studies. Context will be built within this definition of “management”. This class introduces the student to management issues with emphasis on creativity, leadership, and innovation. Experiential learning will be used to explore the basic management issues of planning, organization, leading and controlling within a variety of venues including both for-profit and not for-profit.
The course places management in its broadest context and helps students from diverse disciplines understand the complex social, economic, ecological, political and technological forces shaping 21st century leadership in the public, private and nonprofit sectors. Key themes explored in the course include systems thinking, values based approaches to management, and personal and professional development.
Rigorous introduction to probability and statistical theory. Topics covered include elementary probability, random variables, distributions, estimation and hypothesis testing. Estimation and testing are introduced using maximum likelihood and the generalized likelihood ratio.
