will learn about the concepts of object-oriented approach. Examples that
are used to illustrate programming logic and algorithms design, as well
as the term programming projects will be taken from business related
applications. CIS 254 -

CIS 350 Essential Mathematics for CIS/MIS
(4 credits)
Today an increasing proportion of the applications of mathematics
involve discrete rather than continuous models. The main reason for this
trend is the integration of the computer modern society. This course
combines classic, historical material and cutting-edge computer science
applications. The course includes coverage of most areas of discrete
mathematics, including logic, natural numbers, coding theory,
combinatorics, sets, algebraic functions, partially ordered structures,
graphs, etc., as well as emphasis on the central role of propositional
and predicate logic.
Prerequisites:
MAT 234,
MAT 298,
CIS 253,
CIS 254, with grades of 74% or higher
is required.
CIS 356 - Applied Data
Structures (4 Credits)
This course expands students' knowledge in an efficient
algorithm design, introduces general data structures such as linked lists,
stacks, queues, binary trees, binary search trees, heaps, and graphs. The
course also expands knowledge of object-oriented programming, template
library and classes. As a main tool, the pseudocode is implemented to
represent algorithms based on main data structure processing. Besides main
data structures, students will be introduced to sorting and search
algorithms, recursion, and algorithms' efficiency. Some examples from
business related applications are used to illustrate main data structures
concepts.
Prerequisite: Completion of CIS 254
with a grade of 70% or higher is required. This course replaces CIS 256.
CIS 360 -
Operating System Configuration and Administration (4 Credits)
Students are introduced to the basic structure of process,
storage management, memory, job scheduling, file system and management
in a modern operating system. They learn the installation,
configuration, and performance management of operating systems and
integration on a computer network.
Prerequisite: Completion of CIS 253 and CIS 254
with a grade of 70% or higher is required.
CIS 362 -
Computer Forensics (4 Credits)
Forensics is the use of science and technology to
investigate and establish facts of interest to the legal system. This
course provides students with the skills and knowledge to acquire and
preserve evidence from a computer. The interpretation and presentation
of this evidence is also discussed.
Prerequisite: Completion of CIS 360
with a grade of 70% or higher is required.
