This course covers programming fundamentals using the Java language, emphasizing an object-oriented approach to problem solving. Topics include classes, objects, references, dynamic memory allocation, inheritance, polymorphism, arrays, files, design and implementation of abstract data types, in numerical and non-numerical applications.
Large-scale individual projects in computer science to be defined in cooperation with an instructor/supervisor. The project must be in in an area not covered by other course offerings. The student is responsible for the project definition and completion under the guidance of an instructor/supervisor.
Basic computer organization including the von Neumann architecture, the instruction cycle, parts of a CPU (central processing unit), pipelining, memory hierarchy, and interrupt handling. Representation of numerical and non-numerical data. Translation to assembly code from high-level constructs such as if statements, loops, and function calls.
This course covers programming fundamentals using the C++ language, using procedural and object-oriented approaches to problem solving. Topics include structured elements, classes, objects, references, dynamic memory allocation, inheritance, polymorphism, arrays, pointers, files, design and implementation of abstract data types, in numerical and non-numerical applications.

Learn modern, powerful techniques to inspect and analyze network traffic, to quickly detect abuse and attacks and respond to them. This class also covers the configuration and use of Security Onion, a popular open-source Linux distribution designed for network security monitoring.
The class focuses on practical applications: selecting, implementing, testing, and maintaining systems to protect data on modern computer networks. Mathematical underpinnings and practical applications of modern cryptographic systems, including the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the Secure Hash Algorithms (SHA), and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA).
Introduction to eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). Hands-on experience with XML documents, Document Type Definition (DTD), namespaces, schemas, and data presentation with eXtensible Style Language (XSLT) or Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Introduction to JSON syntax to store and exchange data.
Learn how to find vulnerabilities and exploit them to gain control of target systems including operating systems. Covers essential exploit development skills for advanced penetration testers and security professionals. Students will be required to obey high ethical principles and not exploit systems without authorization.
Learn how to analyze malware, including computer viruses, trojans, and rootkits, using basic static analysis and dynamic analysis, including IDA Pro and other tools.
