Cursos disponibles:

• CS 3750/PSYC 3750: Human-Computer Interface Design and Evaluation, Prof. Henneman
  • Horari:dilluns, dimecres i dijous de 13.05 a 14:25 h.
  • Descripció: This course teaches how to design human-computer interfaces that are usable and effective, using principles and methods that apply to all interactive systems—desktops, laptops, pads, smart phones and consumer devices.  Topics include human perceptual and cognitive capabilities, methods to understand user requirements and needs, as well as ways to evaluate interactive systems. In teams you will design, prototype and test interactive systems.  The emphasis will be on design and prototyping rather than programming.
     
• CS 4001: Computing & Society, Prof. DiSalvo
  • Horari: dilluns de 9.35 a 10.55 h, dimarts de 13.05 a 14.25 h i de 15.05 a 16.25 h i dijous de 9.35 a 10.55 h.
  • Descripció: This course examines computing as a social process, with emphasis on ethical and social impacts on local and global organizations.  Topics include the responsibilities of computing professionals, intellectual property, privacy governance and policy, and system safety and security. The course also discusses the social context of computer-based technology especially as it is revealed in transitional and cross-cultural differences.
     
• CS 4400: Introduction to Database Systems, Prof. Sweat
  • Horari: dimarts, dimecres i divendres d’11.05 a 12.25 h
    Recomanat per a estudiants que no tinguin la especialitat d’Enginyeria del Software.
  • Descripció: In our modern world almost everything we encounter involves a database behind the scenes. This course introduces the fundamental concepts necessary for the design and use of modern database systems. We explore the concepts found in the database design process through the course material and through the completion of a group project. The project process will take you from the real life problem description to a conceptual data model, and from there, on to a database specific model (namely the relational data model). The final result is a GUI-driven application that interacts via SQL with the database underneath it all. We will see how to use the relational database language SQL to define the relations and to write SQL statements to insert, delete, retrieve, and update the data. We'll study ways to judge (and hopefully improve) the goodness of relations. We also examine some of the fundamental storage structures and indexing schemes that are used in relational database systems.
     
• CS 4660: Introduction to Educational Technology, Prof. DiSalvo
  • Horari: dilluns d’11.05 a 12.25 h, dimarts de 16.35 a 17.55 h i dijous de 11.05 a 12.25 h.
  • Descripció: Students will read, discuss, and apply research findings from the learning sciences in educational technology.  In particular we will investigate learning theories, how to improve learning, and the factors that hinder learning.  We will explore and critique current educational technology such as computational construction kits, educational games, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). The two main projects are an in-depth critique of existing second language learning tools and a design for a technology-based learning intervention for second language learning.
