COMP 314 introduces the fundamental concepts, principles, and structures of operating systems. An operating system is the software on a computer that orchestrates the hardware components of the computer. The operating system provides the user/programmer with efficient and convenient service and a high degree of machine independence in writing programs, executing programs, and managing system resources.

This course provides an entry into the world of the UNIX operating system of servers, workstations, and even mobile computers. We do not assume any prior knowledge of operating system concepts or extensive programming ability.

Computer Science 369: Practical Game Programming is a 3-credit course that teaches you how to develop platform-independent computer games using C/C++ with the cross-platform, open-source library Allegro.

This course is developed in a logical fashion that is based on the database development life cycle. This makes it easy for students to relate the topics to each other along one logical line. The structure of the course follows the development of the material in Modern Database Management, 8th ed., by Hoffer, Prescott, & McFadden. The Study Guide consists of nine units. Each unit starts with its goal, followed by one or more sections. Each section contains goal, objectives, and activities.

The course is designed to teach the students theoretical and applied aspects of computer graphics.

Computer Science 400; Computer and Network Security introduces the basic concepts, strategies,  and tools that address the risky computer and network environment IT professionals face.

This course focuses on some advanced topics that are important aspects in database design, implementation, optimization, and distributed application. As indicated by the name, the course primarily covers database tuning, distributed database systems, and the underlying concepts, principles, and techniques of each, such as indexing, query optimization, transaction processing, and physical database design. It also introduces some new technologies related to modern database application such as database security and data mining.

Coomputer Science 444  introduces you to robotic programming using the Lego Mindstorms robotic kit. The course progresses from first principles to advanced topics in robotic control.

Computer Science 456 deals with a broad range of artificial intelligence topics. It also introduces the Prolog and Lisp programming languages for artificial intelligence.

Computer Science 466:Advanced Technologies for Web-Based Systems extends the student's knowledge and skills in computing, network programming, web design, and system development.

This course teaches the fundamental programming skills needed to create games for both mobile devices and the Internet. In the first half of the course, students will learn how to develop simple interactive games with Java ME and mobile device emulators. In the second half, students will learn how to use ActionScript to develop multimedia-enriched games with Flash for the Internet.

There are three assignments (Tutor Marked Exercises) in this course. For the first two, students will implement simple games with Java ME and ActionScript respectively. The last TME asks students to design and develop a role-play game (RPG), adventure game, or a turn-based strategy game, using the programming languages they’ve learned in this course. After completing this course, students will have good examples of their experience and abilities in game development to include in their portfolios.

COMP 495/496 are two three-credit courses designed to allow students to demonstrate the skills they have learned in an applications area of their own choosing.
