INTRO
TO PROGRAMMING IN JAVA (3)
Froehlich
An introduction to
computer programming fundamentals implemented in the leading-edge
language for Internet and world wide web-based applications- Java.
Course focuses on principals of developing well-designed programs for
immediate use while providing a solid foundation for more advanced
object-oriented programming. Topics include variables, control
structures, basic data structures, methods, class design, and others
as time permits. Course homework involves significant programming
(15-20 hours/wk). |

and COMPUTATION THEORY (3)
Kosaraju
This course is an
introduction to the theory of computing. Topics include design of finite
state automata, pushdown automata, linear bounded automata, Turing machines
and phrase structure grammars; correspondence between automata and grammars;
computable functions and decision problems. |

SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS (3) Masson
This analysis and
design of subsystems of computers, together with their
interconnections and use in computing systems, covers the following
topics: basic logic circuits, combinational and sequential modules,
computer arithmetic, registers and register-transfer logic, arithmetic
units, memory, processor units, bus interconnections, control logic
design and micro-programming, instruction set implementation, and
computer architecture. |

Second Term: 7/3-8/4
| 600.101 (E) | COMPUTER
FLUENCY (4) Beach
Students will become fluent with information technology through coverage of basic underlying concepts and use of common applications. Concepts will include the building blocks of computer systems and software, as well as historical perspectives and social implications. Students will learn basic and selected advanced skills with MS Office (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, databases), as well as webpage design with programming in JavaScript, and unix operating system basics. The goal is to empower students so that they remain skilled computer users and will have confidence and success learning and applying new technologies on their own in the future. Students
should expect to spend 8-12 hours/week on assignments and reading. |

FOUNDATIONS OF
COMPUTER INTEGRATED SURGERY (3) Fichtinger
This course will give an introduction to the concepts and major elements of computer-integrated surgery (CIS) through clinical applications. Major topics will include medical imaging, image processing, surgical planning, surgical robotics, robot navigation, systems integration, and clinical validation. The class includes a human cadaver lab module to perform minimally invasive spine surgery with the use of novel technologies discussed in class. Grades will be calculated based on participation in class and three homework assignments. No computer programming will be necessary or required to complete the assignments, but bonus offered for demonstrating programming skills. Prerequisites: Pre-calc required. Knowledge of linear algebra and vector calculus helpful. |

INDEPENDENT COURSES - at most 3 credits may be earned each summer
|
600.597 |
INDEPENDENT STUDYIndividual, guided study under the direction of a faculty member in the department. The program of study, including the credit to be assigned, must be worked out in advance between the student and the faculty member involved. |
|
600.595 |
INDEPENDENT RESEARCH Independent research under the direction of a faculty member in the department. The program of research, including the credit to be assigned, must be worked out in advance between the student and the faculty member involved. |
|
600.599 |
COMPUTER SCIENCE INTERNSHIP Individual work in the field with a learning component, supervised by a faculty member in the department. The program of study and credit assigned must be worked out in advance between the student and the faculty member involved. Students may not receive credit for work that they are paid to do. As a rule of thumb, 40 hours of work is equivalent to one credit. |
|
600.891 |
GRADUATE INDEPENDENT STUDY Individual, guided graduate study under the direction of a faculty member in the department. The program of study, including the credit to be assigned, must be worked out in advance between the student and the faculty member involved. |
|
