SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

COMPSCI 701

Principles of the design and implementation of programming languages. Topics include: Principles of compilation, static program analysis, compilation methods to support profiling, and code-generation methods. Knowledge of programming languages and compiler design strongly encouraged, such asCOMP SCI 536.

COMPSCI 200

Learn the process of incrementally developing small (200-500 lines) programs along with the fundamental Computer Science topics. These topics include: problem abstraction and decomposition, the edit-compile-run cycle, using variables of primitive and more complex data types, conditional and loop-based flow control, basic testing and debugging techniques, how to define and call functions (methods), and IO processing techniques. Also teaches and reinforces good programming practices including the use of a consistent style, and meaningful documentation. Intended for students who have no prior programming experience.

COMPSCI 542

Teaches the security considerations that occur during all steps of the software development life cycle: methodologies for designing secure software, programming using secure programming techniques, in-depth vulnerability assessment methodologies, static and dynamic analysis tools for evaluating software security, and system defenses reducing security threats.

COMPSCI 536

Introduction to the theory and practice of compiler design. Comparison of features of several programming languages and their implications for implementation techniques. Several programming projects required.

COMPSCI 620

Build a meaningful product from start to finish with a local, regional, national and international corporate client that solves a real-world problem. In a collaborative space design, develop, test, debug, document, and deliver a software project for a corporate client, learning and using new technologies and agile software development techniques.
