system audits and risk assessments, develop recovery plans to protect the security
and integrity of data and information. Additional topics include: developing base line
for defining disaster levels and designing recovery time objective (RTO).
Prerequisite(s): ITNW 4501
InformationTechnology: SoftwareDevelopment (ITSD)
ITSD4301 - Algorithms I (3-0-3)
A first course in the design and analysis of algorithms, including asymptotic notation,
sorting and finite automaton; students will study static, dynamic and recursive data
structures, and will understand concepts from a theoretical and practical standpoint.
Prerequisite(s): ITFN 3134 (C), ITFN 3314 (C), ITFN 3601 (C), ITFN 2411, ITFN2211
(C), and ITFN 2511 (C).
ITSD4303 - Human-Computer Interaction (3-0-3)
Fundamentals of human-machine interfaces, both cognitive and physical. Learning
styles and effects of short-termmemory on cognition and reaction will affect hardware
and software development. Students will design a prototype interface.
Prerequisite(s): ITFN 3134 (C), ITFN 3314 (C), ITFN 3601 (C), ITFN 2411 (C), and
[ITFN2211 (C) or ITFN 2511 (C)].
ITSD 4305 - Special Topics inSoftwareDevelopment (3-0-3)
This course addresses new developments in the field, bleeding edge topics, which
may not yet be mainstream, yet are deserving of attention as forces, which shape the
discipline.
Prerequisite(s): ITFN 3144 (C), ITFN 3314 (C), ITFN 3601 (C), ITFN 2512) (C).
ITSD4312 - Algorithms II (3-0-3)
An advanced course in the design and analysis of algorithms with an emphasis on
dynamic data structures, including red-black trees, B trees, min-max trees and static
board evaluation. Graph theory will be studied, including minimum spanning trees,
single-source shortest path, as well as advanced topics such as NP-completeness
and approximation algorithms.
Prerequisite(s): ITSD 4301(C).
InformationTechnologySkills (ITSK)
ITSK1701 - DatabaseApplications (0-2-1)
An intermediate level skills course in Microsoft Access. Topics include reports, forms,
OLE fields, sub-forms, macros, VBA and the switchboardmanager. An introduction to
relational database theory and database design is included.
IntegrativeStudies (INTE)
INTE3901 - IntegrativeStudiesPracticum/Internship (0-10-3)
This course is the principal "experiential learning" component of the Integrative
Studies program. The placement site will be in a professional work environment
related to the interests/career goals of the individual student. Placement may be with
for-profit, not-for-profit, or governmental entities as appropriate. Collaborating
business/agencies must agree to creating and supervising meaningful experiences
that will allow students to observe and participate in projects and activities that bear
directly on the challenges of the contemporary workplace. Students will be
encouraged to seek experiential opportunities outside the USA. Requires program
approval. Course is repeatable for credit.
