CPS 236 Contemporary
Operating Systems (III, 3) - The objective of this course
is to teach basics of an operating system from both end-users
and programmers point of view. Existing popular operating systems
such as Unix and Windows NT will be used as practical examples
to work with. Students will learn about history of Unix, the Unix
file system, the Visual Editor (vi), Unix communications, the
Unix shell, programming under Unix, and system administration.
NT topics will include NT tools, administering users, groups,
profiles, printing, domain controllers, and other configuration,
troubleshooting, and management tasks as time permits. Two lectures
and two laboratory periods per week. Prerequisite: University
Computer literacy requirement and Programming concepts equivalent
to CPS191
CPS 316: Computer Networks Essentials (III,
4) - The objective of this course is to teach fundamentals
concepts and practical aspects of computer networking. Emphasis
is on Local Area Networks from architecture to setup and management.
Local and wide area networking including: protocols, standards,
media, topologies, layered networking models, hardware and software.
Students shall learn about network setup and administration besides
network architecture, protocols, and applications. Important topics
include network architecture and communication protocols, network
elements, data link, switching and routing, end-to-end protocols,
LANs, security and some aspects of network administration. Three
lectures and two laboratory periods. Prerequisite: CPS236 Contemporary
Operating Systems, INT250 Comm. Systems, and INT320 Digital Systems.
CPS 320: Database Systems (II, 3) - The objective of this course is to introduce relational database
systems and provide practical experience in using a popular database
package. An existing popular database package, such as Microsoft
Access or Oracle will be used extensively in this course. Students

programming and Object-oriented Programming. Students will learn
both Applets and Application programming in Java. The topics covered
include data types, classes, selection statements, repetition
statements, arrays, constructors, methods, and interfaces. Students
will be prepared for real world programming and learn how to use
classes from libraries and how to define their own classes. Three
lectures and two laboratory periods per week. Prerequisite: CPS236

to CPS191.
CPS 215: Internet and Web Essentials (I,
3) - The objective of this course is to teach basics
of the internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) from end-users and
developer point of view. Existing popular browsers, Web editors,
Web development tools, and internet tools and services will be
surveyed and used in the course. Students will learn about history
of the internet, using a browser, how to exchange information
on the internet, searching the internet, how to create a variety
of web sites, and Web page publishing and promotion on the WWW.
Two lectures and two laboratory periods per week. Prerequisite:
CPS 236 Contemporary Operating Systems.
CPS 425: Advanced Internet and Web Server
(II, 3) - The objective of this course is to teach how
to create sophisticated interactive web sites using JavaScript,
Java Applets, CGI, and other tools. Web server installation and
configuration will also be covered. Students will learn how to
enhance web pages with Java applets, JavaScript, and CGI shell
scripts. They also learn about Web security and how to create
dynamic web pages using a database and other web enabling tools.
Two lectures and two laboratory periods per week. Prerequisite:
CPS 215: Internet and Web Essentials.CPS 465: Intro. To Parallel
Computing (III, 4) - The objective of this course is to teach
fundamentals of parallel computing. Topics covered include distributed
and shared memory paradigms, point-to-point and collective message
passing constructs in MPI, parallel libraries, semaphores, dead
lock, speed-up, check-point restart, debugging, and applications
in high performance computing. Prerequisite: MTH331 Numerical
Methods, or permission of instructor.
