Courses

This course will demonstrate advanced functions and integration of word processing, spreadsheet, database, and presentation software. Upon completion, students should be able to apply advanced features of the selected software to typical problems found in society and business. This course will prepare students for Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification.

Design and analysis of the structure and function of modern computing systems. Topics studied include combinational and sequential logic, number systems and computer arithmetic, hardware design and organization of CPU, I/O systems and memory systems, instruction set and assembly language design, performance characterization and measurement, and current trends and developments in computer architecture and organization.

Modern instruction level parallel computer design, including superscalar and very-long instruction word processor design.

This course is designed to acquaint the student with computer graphics. Topics include illustration and image manipulation. Upon completion, students should be able to apply design principles to computer graphics.

High resolution 3D graphics. Advanced topics in viewing, vertex &, fragment processing, illumination & shading, and 3D modeling (curve & surface representation, texture mapping. Some coverage of solid modeling and color theory. Game production pipeline. Many programming projects.

High resolution 3D graphics, including advanced topics in viewing, vertex processing, fragment processing, local and global illumination and shading, 3D modeling (including curve and surface representation), texture mapping, and some coverage of solid modeling and color theory. Game production pipeline. Hierarchical issues, visibility, and 3D processing algorithms may also be covered.

The goal of this course is to discuss contemporary issues of computer networks such as Wireless networks, Sensor networks, Optical Networks etc. Students are expected to review research papers and work on semester long projects. Topics will cover issues related to network communication protocol stacks and simulation of these computer networks. This course assumes good knowledge of object-oriented programming.

Students will study advanced computer networking topics that include networking protocols (RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, MPLS, and OSPF), subnetting designs, LAN switching and VLANS, and Spanning Tree Protocol.

Advanced principles and concepts of general-purpose computer networks, with a special emphasis to internetworking and Internet. Transport and higher level protocols emphasis. Programming issues. High-speed networking, congestion control, data compression, security and distributed processing will be covered.

Turning This course details the use of canned cycles and subprograms in computer numerical control (CNC) turning programs. Upon completing this course, the student should be able to write CNC turning programs to using canned cycles and subprograms.
