ISTE-230

Introduction to Database and Data Modeling

3 Credits

This course surveys the fundamental concepts and theories used in organizing and structuring data that arise in a wide range of contexts (e.g. lab sciences, economic, social services, computing system performance, environmental sustainability). Course topics include data organization theory, basic relational model theory, normalization theory, relational algebra, data quality, data integrity and security, and mapping a data model into a database schema. Students will learn how to construct and use databases while maintaining the security and integrity of data as well as develop AI literacy in the context of data model design, learning how to apply and critique Artificial Intelligence responsibly and ethically. Hands-on assessments are included in this course.

ISTE-340

Client Programming

3 Credits

This course will explore the analysis, design, development, and implementation of client-side programming in the context of Internet technologies, mobile devices, Web-based client systems and desktop applications. Students will learn to design and build usable and effective interactive systems, clients, and interfaces. Key features addressed will include browser and platform compatibility, object reusability, bandwidth and communications issues, development environments and architectures, privacy and security, and related technologies and APIs. Programming is required.

ISTE-341

Server Programming

3 Credits

This course provides in-depth work in server-side programming. Students will develop dynamic, data centric web pages and systems, and server-side information services that will be available to clients implemented in a variety of software technologies. Topics include XML parsing, generation, and consumption; web configuration and security; design patterns; web service structures, and application security. Programming projects are required.

ISTE-499

Undergraduate Co-op

0 Credits

Students perform paid, professional work related to their program of study. Students work full-time during the term they are registered for co-op. Students must complete a student co-op work report for each term they are registered; students also are evaluated each term by their employer. A satisfactory grade is given for co-op when both a completed student co-op report and a corresponding employer report that indicates satisfactory student performance are received.

NSSA-102

Artificial Intelligence & Contemporary Computing

3 Credits

Students will learn a variety of leading edge computing technologies and create computing-based solutions to address organizational requirements using these technologies. This will include an introduction to artificial intelligence (AI), contemporary hardware platforms, how they operate and interact with the components of the operating systems that drive them, and how to deliver these solutions using virtualization such as cloud computing. Ultimately the course is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Students will develop an understanding of contemporary computing systems through practical assignments and projects that integrate the various aspects of contemporary computing.

SWEN-383

Software Design Principles and Patterns

3 Credits

Quality software designs and architectures reflect software engineering principles that represent best contemporary practice. This course focuses on explicating these fundamental principles, examining a set of design and architecture patterns that embody the principles, and applying patterns appropriate to a design problem in a given context. Restricted to IST majors only.
