CSC 162-1
Andrea Cogliati
MWF 9:00AM - 11:50AM

Computers are universal tools to store and process information. The storage part is organized as data structures; the processing part is captured as algorithms. Together, these form the heart of every computer application (in science, government, business, and the arts), on every kind of information (pictures, numbers, sound, and text). We will study the most fundamental data structures and algorithms as a means of using computers more effectively, and as preparation for more advanced study in CS and related fields. Prerequisites: CSC 161 & MATH 150 (or equivalent.) COURSE WILL BE OFFERED ONLINE ONLY.

CSC 214-1
Arthur Roolfs
TWRF 5:00PM - 6:35PM
|
Coursework covers user application and interface design with SwiftUI and the Swift computer language, functional algorithms for mobile devices (iOS), object-oriented design, MVVM, data persistence and concurrency. Other topics include: object-oriented database API, animation, webservices and performance considerations PREREQUISITES: CSC 172, Competent object-oriented programming skills
|
CSC 261-1
Eustrat Zhupa
|
This course presents the fundamental concepts of database design and use. It provides a study of data models, data description languages, and query facilities including relational algebra and SQL, data normalization, transactions and their properties, physical data organization and indexing, security issues and object databases. It also looks at the new trends in databases. The knowledge of the above topics will be applied in the design and implementation of a database application using a target database management system as part of a semester-long group project. PREREQUISITES: CSC 172 required, CSC 173 and CSC 252 recommended. Students must have knowledge of at least one programming language. Familiarity with definition and implementation of data structures, main sorting algorithms, complexity of programs is also required.

CSC 262-1
Joseph Ciminelli
|
This course will cover foundational concepts in descriptive analyses, probability, and statistical inference. Topics to be covered include data exploration through descriptive statistics (with a heavy emphasis on using R for such analyses), elementary probability, diagnostic testing, combinatorics, random variables, elementary distribution theory, statistical inference, and statistical modeling. The inference portion of the course will focus on building and applying hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for population means, proportions, variances, and correlations. Non-parametric alternatives will also be introduced. The modeling portion of the course will include ANOVA, and simple and multiple regression and their respective computational methods. Students will be introduced to the R statistical computing environment. This course is FULLY ONLINE and ASYNCHRONOUS.

CSC 299-1
Joseph Loporcaro
|
Computers and the Internet, perhaps more than any other technology, have transformed society over the past 50 years. In developed nations, at least, they have enabled dramatic increases in human productivity; an explosion of options for news, entertainment, and communication; and fundamental breakthroughs in almost every branch of science and engineering. At the same time, they have contributed to unprecedented threats to privacy; whole new categories of crime and anti-social behavior; major disruptions in the job market; and the large-scale concentration of risk into systems capable of catastrophic failure. In this discussion- and writing-oriented class, we will consider all of this and more, with the goal of better understanding how to shape technological change in ways that maximize the benefits and minimize the costs. CSC 299 can be taken as a ULW or not. This course is offered as a fully online, asynchronous course.
