Students will develop essential spreadsheet skills to solve business problems. Students will learn how to create and format a workbook and work with formulas, functions, charts, and graphics. Students will also learn to use PivotTables and PivotCharts, advanced formulas and functions, how to manage multiple worksheets, and other advanced techniques.
This course provides an overview of the various forms of cyber crime and the methods, thought process and tools used by criminals. Criminology theories such as conflict, control and strain will also be discussed. The impact of cyber crime and public policy implications will also be explored.
An introduction to the problem solving process, numerical methods, algorithms and algorithm design. Basic principles of software engineering, program design, coding, debugging, and documentation are introduced. Structured and object-oriented programming is taught using the Java platform.
Prerequisite(s): MTH 140, MTH 141, MTH 160, or MTH 161. The class will discuss contemporary visualizations and critique their effectiveness in conveying information. Students will learn techniques for visualizing multivariate, temporal, text-based, geospatial, hierarchical, and network-based data. Students will learn how to acquire, parse, and analyze datasets and the process of encoding data visualizations to achieve aesthetically pleasing, effective communication.
This course will provide instruction on developing, deploying and maintaining applications for mobile devices that use the Android and IOS platforms. Students will develop applications that function solely on the device and applications that integrate with Web Services.
Prerequisite(s): CMP 126 with a grade of C or higher. A continuation of CMP 126. Continued development of design, coding, debugging, and documentation. Topics covered include Servlet, Java Server Pages, Web Application, polymorphism, overloading along with the most common aspects of Java.
Emphasis is placed on the importance of efficient data structures and algorithms in design and implementation. The classic data structures include arrays, strings, list, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs and iterative and recursive programming techniques. Algorithms include sorting and searching with emphasis on complexity and efficiency.
Prerequisite(s): CMP 226 may be taken concurrently. An introduction to web design concepts and technology, this course covers the fundamentals of the Internet, browsers, web servers, and web programming languages. Students will gain extensive experience using HTML and CSS.
Prerequisite(s): CMP 126. An introduction to the fundamental concepts of systems analysis and design. The role of the system analyst and the training skills required to function in this position are presented. Students will do application analysis, including modeling of processes and data and transformation of analysis results into a design for a specific computer environment. Design of programs, system testing, evaluation, conversion and documentation will also be discussed. The life cycle concept and its application to business systems are also discussed.
Prerequisite(s): CMP 225 or CMP 228B.
Prerequisite(s): CMP 300. This course focuses on modern database theory and use. Students will learn and have hands-on practice with major Databases topics including database use in application and analytics, relational table structure, unstructured data, SQL language, efficient data structures and indexing, secure data storage and access, triggers, and search and analysis functionality. Students will design their own databases and will implement code that interacts with these databases to CRUD (create, read, update, delete) and analyze data.
Prerequisite(s): BUS 200. Information requirements, planning, design, implementation, facilities, equipment, replacement of equipment, and control. Analysis of cost/benefit relationships to the total management effort.
Restriction(s): Consent of the Instructor and second semester Junior standing. Students function as teams of analysts and programmers to complete a comprehensive system development project(s). Teams analyze selected programs, design a system to solve the problem including project specifications, system flow-chart and timeline for completion. Systems analysis and programming skills will be emphasized. Teams will make formal presentations of their results.
