SP 2015
CST 462S We will explore the impact that access to information technology has on the opportunities available to people in different parts of our society. The inclinations and prejudices leading to lack of women and minorities in computer science will be studied; short and long term activities to address them will be developed. Students will implement components of the activities they identified by serving at community sites including high schools, community centers and nonprofit organizations.

CST 337 Provides students with the fundamental knowledge of computer architectures, hardware and software components of computer systems, interrelationship among different components. Coverage includes introduction to data representation, CPU, assembly programming, memory systems, input/output devices, pipelining, multi-processing

ENSTU 298 Students explore concepts of well-being and apply theoretical models to personal engagement in behaviors that promote and detract from well-being. Current health issues are used to probe concepts of well-being. Students also explore how historical relationships between disease, technology, and agriculture influence the socio-economic status of people and nations, developing a deep understanding of how one's race, gender, etc., influence contraction of disease & access to social services. CST 312 Focuses on the theory, practice and technologies for securing computers on the web and the Internet. Students will learn cryptographic tools and how they are used by standard network security protocols like SSL/TLS, IPSEC, Kerberos, PGP, S/MIME, and wireless. Students will also learn about ethical hacking and policies and procedures to protect against such hacking.

CST 373 Investigates through an ethical perspective how communication technology affects our lives. Discusses individual and institutional values represented through technological choices. Using case studies and current events, explores such issues as intellectual property rights, information access and privacy, and the digital divide.

CST 412 Introduces management tools, skills, and information to design, implement, and manage telecommunications and data communications networks. Includes network design, monitoring, and security.

CST 273 Explores the implications of new communication technologies with regard to democracy, social activism, cultural identity, and social equity in the United States. Democracy cannot be separated from the issue of social identity since throughout our history many groups were excluded from political participation. Explores whether new media like the Internet will

CST 363 Examines relational database theory, design, implementation, and management. Covers logical and physical database design, SQL, 3-tier architecture, database administration, and distributed databases. Students develop their own database to solve a realworld problem.

systems, operating systems and network architecture. CST 300 Helps students identify and articulate personal, professional, and social goals. Provides an integrated view of the telecommunications, multimedia, and applied computing major and its requirements. Students develop a plan for their learning goals. Note: required for entry into the major; fulfills the GWAR requirement. CST 370 Students learn important data structures in computer science and acquire fundamental algorithm design techniques to get the efficient solutions to several computing problems from various disciplines. Topics include the analysis of algorithm efficiency, hash, heap, graph, tree, sorting and searching, brute force, divide-and-conquer, decrease-and-conquer, transform-and-conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy programming.

increasingly make identity irrelevant, or will create greater fragmentation. CST 271 Focuses on the philosophical roots (as evidenced in literature) of contemporary digital culture. From Armageddon to the Matrix; from Frankenstein to Lawnmower man; from the library at Alexandria to the archives of the Internet; the world of the digital intelligentsia owes its vision and mythology to the resonant themes found in literature and philosophy. Explores the essence of humanity that defines the natural world and strives to remake it in a more perfect fashion. CST 328 A survey course that combines the study of technology, design and aesthetic principles as they apply to twenty-first century visual media. Students learn how fundamental concepts of art and design apply to a broad range of commercial, expressive and entertainment forms. Students also study the democratization of the creative process through digital media, using current technology to produce sophisticated and expressive examples of personal digital creativity.
