Cs 1000: Technology And Society, John A. Reisner

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

What impact does technology have on society? As technology plays a greater role in our everyday lives, this becomes an increasingly important question. We have seen unprecedented advances over the past few decades, but sometimes benefits can be offset by unforeseen consequences and repercussions (such as privacy concerns, identity theft, or safety). The goal of this course is to evaluate the consequences of technological advances on individuals, organizations, and society, and identify potential benefits and limitations, by examining and discussing and how social, ethical, legal and philosophical repercussion impact society.

Ceg 460/660-01: Introduction To Software Computer Engineering, Nikolaos Bourbakis

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

This course is concerned with the techniques of designing and constructing large programs. Some of the required basic concepts necessarily have to be developed using small programs as examples. To this extent, we also study programming-in-the-small. The overall objectives are to present an overview of issues in the development of software, to discuss terminology, to illustrate via example case studies, and to give sufficiently detailed advice on how to develop quality software and present a way of communication via UML. Hands-on experience is emphasized through the use of homework and a class project.

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

In this course, you will learn about more about one particular way to address some of the challenges and issues associated with successful software development. Specifically, you will learn about (and use) the Personal Software Process (PSP), designed to help individual software practitioners become more adept at their craft through the use of project planning, project tracking, defect analysis, review and verification activities, software measurement, and process management. This course--and the PSP-are somewhat unique in that they aim to help software engineers become more successful, not by examining issues associated with large-scale development (as is the case with many software …

Cs 740: Complexity Theory And Algorithm Analysis, Pascal Hitzler

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

What does it mean to say that some computational problem is intrinsically more difficult than some other problem? How can I claim that I have found a good algorithmic solution? The study of these questions gives rise to an area of Theoretical Computer Science called Complexity Theory, which is based on a systematic and thorough formal study of the complexity of problems with respect to their algorithmic solvability, using Turing machines as main conceptual tool. In this class, we will understand how problem and algorithm complexity is measured, and discuss some of the main complexity classes arising from this study. …
