Topics to be covered include operating systems such as Linux, Windows 9x, 2k, XP, Mac OS 9 and X, and the technologies and protocols necessary to integrate these disparate platforms. Students will master the skills necessary to integrate multiple platforms to create a cohesive shared resource base. (Prerequisite: CSCI 1001 or instructor’s approval)
CSCI 1105 3 credits Interactive Multimedia Design This course is designed to introduce students to multimedia design and development. As an introductory course, topics to be covered include Internet services, learning principles, learning methodologies, and design and development. Students will learn by doing through the use of tools such as Macromedia’s Flash MX and Dreamweaver MX. (Prerequisites: CSCI 1001 or instructor’s approval)
CSCI 1110 3 credits Internet and Computer System Design This course is designed to introduce students to Internet Services and the hardware requirements to support those services. Students will become familiar with setting up various servers that include web, ftp, email, and database servers as well as the programming environments to support them. Each service has requirements to be supported by hardware. Students will be introduced to designing and building a computer to maximize performance and throughput of the services installed. (Prerequisite: CSCI 1001 or consent of the instructor)
CSCI 1115 3 credits Overview of Computational Methods This course will give students the opportunity to explore and expand their own levels of exposure to the world of computational science and methodologies. Students will identify the computational technologies relevant to their disciplines of interest and investigate their application. Students will also be provided an overview of technology trends where the latest advancements in computational science and methodologies are occurring. (Prerequisite: CSCI 1001 or consent of the instructor)
CSCI 1120 3 credits Information Technology Project Management This course is designed to teach students what constitutes a project, what to expect to occur in a project, know the components of a project, and how to generate the framework for the mechanics of a project. (Prerequisite: CSCI 1001 or consent of the instructor)
CSCI 1190 3 credits Collaborative Research and Work This course is designed to teach students how to use networking and Internet tools to work collaboratively on projects.
