Successful design of complex software systems requires the ability todescribe, evaluate, and create systems at an architectural level of ab -straction. This course introduces architectural design of complex soft

-

ware systems. The course considers commonly-used software systemstructures, techniques for designing and implementing these structures,models and formal notations for characterizing and reasoning aboutarchitectures, tools for generating specic instances of an architecture,and case studies of actual system architectures. It teaches the skills andbackground students need to evaluate the architectures of existing sys-tems and to design new systems in principled ways using well-foundedarchitectural paradigms.

Software engineering involves the engineering of complex softwaresystems through the use of not just process and technology but also thepeople behind the machines. With the growing complexity of softwareprojects and the current state of the practice, the need to manage peopleto achieve project success is even more paramount to meet require -ments, deliver on budget, on schedule and satisfy customer expectations.The following course will provide students with in-depth knowledgeand practice in managing technical people in areas of communications,teamwork and leadership, decision making, conict management, rela-tionship management and negotiations.

This course introduces students to professional tools and processes fordesigning, documenting, and programming software systems. Studentslearn effective software architecture and problem solving techniques bymeans of object-oriented programming and design. There is an empha-sis on problem analysis and solution design, documentation and codingconventions (using formats widely applied in the workplace), and imple-mentation. Students use commercial software libraries and create robustsoftware applications, such as a point-of-sale cash register kiosk. Start-ing with a specication, students design UML class diagrams, use designpatterns, implement in Java, and test their solutions. This course givesstudents the experience and knowledge to create highly functional, well-designed software systems.

This course focuses on a different dimension in developing robust,maintainable, and efcient software. Software and Web applications thathave users can be characterized along a dimension of usability. In otherwords, is it straightforward for the user to get the software to do what itis supposed to do? whether the task is to draw a map, pay a bill, nda phone number, order an item, book a ight, or change the format of atext page. In this course, students learn the most important techniques ofHuman-Computer interaction, so that they can conduct user studies toisolate usability problems and ultimately build software that gracefullyassists its users in accomplishing intended tasks. Students receive train-ing in the basic skills of task analysis, interface evaluation, and effectiveUI design. VB.Net is used in various programming assignments.

This course prepares students for designing data intensive softwareapplications, bolstered by a practical assignment involving the develop -ment of an online auction system with rich functionality. To support suchapplications, students learn how to select algorithms and representationsthey will frequently use as professional programmers and software devel-opers, and how to reason informally about algorithm and data structurecorrectness and complexity. Students also gain a thorough understandingof the dependence of execution time and memory requirements on thedata structures and algorithms chosen. Programming assignments use theC++ programming language and the Standard Template Library.

This course prepares programmers to consistently produce software ap-plications that execute rapidly and are efcient in their use of memory.

This is accomplished by providing students with a programmers viewof processors, memory, and operating systems. Students learn explic-itly about memory organization and hierarchies, context switching andthreads, and the transformations that a high-level program undergoesbefore it is executed on actual hardware. This knowledge enables stu-dents to eliminate obscure bugs and to measure and optimize softwareprogram performance. Programming assignments use Visual C++.Net.

At the heart of todays web-based software applications that are revolu -tionizing businesses, there are well-designed database systems enabling

rich functionality. This course trains students to build such systems, byteaching database concepts and then the practical work of databasesystem design and implementation. It draws on previous training inadvanced Java, web environments, object-oriented programming, andusability design. Students develop client-server applications in Java andJSP, using database management systems. The assignment involves thecreation of an e-commerce bookstore, which must support the abilityfor users to register themselves, search content, place and track orders,and change personal settings. Students gain the necessary skills to createdata models appropriate for specic applications (relational data models

are emphasized), tune the underlying database for fast response times,and ensure the system is robust enough to handle failures.

This course focuses on the principles and practices of building busi-ness applications that are distributed across networks, allowing for

many users to be part of a connected community. Students start withan overview of networking technology that supports data and multi-media communication. The students apply concepts to a number ofpractical assignments involving the development of distributed appli-cations, including web servers, calendars, and chat systems. Studentslearn application-oriented protocols and approaches to distributedobject oriented programming using Java. With network based applica-tions being a frequent source of security issues for many companies,professionals having strong knowledge in this area are an asset inhelping to prevent such problems in the workplace.
