CSE 101: Computer Science Principles

Undergraduate 3 credits

Prerequisite: Level 3 or higher on the mathematics placement examination

SBC: TECH

Introduces central ideas of computing and computer science, instills practices of algorithmic and computational thinking, and engages students in the creative aspects of the field. Also introduces appropriate computing technology as a means for solving computational problems and exploring creative endeavors. Includes weekly computer programming assignments, but assumes no previous programming experience.

CSE 114: Intro to Object-Oriented Prog

Undergraduate 4 credits

Prerequisite: Level 5 or higher on the math placement exam Advisory Prerequisite: CSE 101 or ISE 108

SBC: TECH

An introduction to procedural and object-oriented programming methodology. Topics include program structure, conditional and iterative programming, procedures, arrays and records, object classes, encapsulation, information hiding, inheritance, polymorphism, file I/O, and exceptions. Includes required laboratory. This course has been designated as a High Demand/Controlled Access (HD/CA) course. Students registering for HD/CA courses for the first time will have priority to do so.

CSE 214: Data Structures

Undergraduate 4 credits

Prerequisite: C or higher in CSE 114

An extension of programming methodology to data storage and manipulation on complex data sets. Topics include: programming and applications of data structures; stacks, queues, lists, binary trees, heaps, priority queues, balanced trees and graphs. Recursive programming is heavily utilized. Fundamental sorting and searching algorithms are examined along with informal efficiency comparisons.

CSE 215: Foundations of Comp Science

Undergraduate 4 credits

Prerequisite: AMS 151 or MAT 125 or MAT 131

Introduction to the logical and mathematical foundations of computer science. Topics include functions, relations, and sets; recursion; elementary logic; and mathematical induction and other proof techniques.

CSE 216: Programming Abstractions

Undergraduate 4 credits

Prerequisites: C or higher in CSE 214; CSE major

Intermediate-level programming concepts and paradigms, including functional programming, object-orientation, basics of type systems, memory management, program and data abstractions, parameter passing, modularity, and parallel programming. Includes weekly recitations, which provide students with experience in the practice of programming in a variety of high-level languages.

CSE 312: Legal Issues in Info Systems

Undergraduate 3 credits

Prerequisites: CSE or ISE major; U3 or U4 standing; one D.E.C. E or SNW course

SBC: CER; ESI; STAS

This course deals with the impact of computers on us as individuals and on our society. Rapid changes in computing technology and in our use of that technology have changed the ways we work, play, and interact with other people. These changes have created a flood of new social, legal and ethical issues that demand critical examination. This course is offered as both CSE 312 and ISE 312.

CSE 351: Introduction to Data Science

Undergraduate 3 credits

Prerequisites: CSE 214 or CSE 260; AMS 310; CSE major

This multidisciplinary course introduces both theoretical concepts and practical approaches to extract knowledge from data. Topics include linear algebra, probability, statistics, machine learning, and programming. Using large data sets collected from real-world problems in areas of science, technology, and medicine, we introduce how to preprocess data, identify the best model that describes the data, make predictions, evaluate the results, and finally report the results using proper visualization methods. This course also teaches state-of-the art tools for data analysis, such as Python and its scientific libraries.
