---

This course studies the process of integrating different systems and software applications by examining current and emerging trends, strategies, and techniques for developing systems integration solutions effectively. Example topics covered include, but are not limited to: documenting integration requirements using business process models, designing integration solutions reusing patterns, and implementing integration solutions using service oriented architecture. Students will extend course topics via library assignments, programming assignments, tool evaluation assignments, and other assigned activities.

---

Website & App Development for Community course provides a community-based learning opportunity. Students will learn the fundamentals of website design and development. Students will develop and deliver a basic website that satisfies the requirements set forth by a community partner. Students will use a content management system to develop the website.

---

Previously, this course was named as Interface Design & Implementation.

This course covers issues associated with the design, implementation, and evaluation of human/computer interfaces including interface devices, metaphors, and interaction styles. Topics covered include task analysis; dialog models and examples; user centered design including naive and expert user interfaces; interface development methodologies and implementation tools; interface testing and quality assessment.

---

Previously, this course was named as Web Engineering.

This course addresses issues associated with large-scale Web application development including architectural design and documentation, and service-oriented computing technologies. In this course, students will gain an understanding of the concepts behind software architectures for large-scale Web-based systems as well as design, recognize, evaluate and document software architectures. The course would deepen students’ understanding of service-oriented architecture. In particular, the course will focus on principles behind service-oriented software engineering, and approaches and methods for efficient service production in service ecosystems.

The aggressive rate of data growth has outpaced our ability to manually understand what data represents. Data is typically stored in database and files, and represented in different formats (structured, semi-structured, or no structure). Data analytics is the science of applying quantitative techniques to analyze data with the objective of discovering hidden knowledge and identifying interesting patterns. This course surveys a number of data preprocessing and sampling methods, data distributions and uncertainty, statistics, regression, time-series analysis, predictions and clustering. It introduces the characteristics and analytic challenges on dealing with clinical data from electronic health records. The course also covers emerging trends in Data Analytics and the applications of information technology in the healthcare. Statistical analyses and data mining techniques will be discussed along with methods for deploying these techniques using the open source tools.

---

This course gives a broad overview of the various aspects of data analytics and visualizations. Students will learn ways of accessing data from various sources such as web APIs and repositories, techniques of cleaning data and organizing data for analysis, using analytical methods to solve real-world problems, and create visualizations to aid the interpretation of analysis results. Students will have hands-on training using relevant programming languages, as well as analytics and visualization tools. Over the course of the semester, students will apply lessons learned and use tools trained to produce interactive, web-based visualization projects.

This practicum course allows students to gain valuable hands-on experience in the computing industry while earning credit towards their degree. This is a stand-alone, single-semester based course, which includes practical computing work under industrial supervision or instructor-guided exploration of a topic relevant to the industrial application of specific computing technology. Both instructor approval of a plan for the proposed work as well as a successful end-of-term presentation are required. Enrollment in more than one semester is allowed, but earned credit is applied in accordance with degree requirements.
