CSC 404: Software Testing

3.00 Credits

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

This course consists of two components: software engineering and software testing. Software testing is a critical phase in the software development life cycle for the quality assurance of software. This course will take a practitioner's approach. Students will use hands-on labs to learn Node.js when we cover the principles of software testing. Testing theory topics may include: Math for testing engineers (discrete math, graph theory), Testing Categories (unit testing, integration testing, system testing, load testing, functional testing, and retrospective testing), Testing Approaches (white-box testing, black-box testing), and Testing Methodologies (boundary value testing, domain testing, equivalence class testing, decision-table-based testing, path testing, and data flow testing). Prerequisite: CSC 404 requires prerequisites of CSC 240 and CSC 241.

CSC 416: Design/Construction Compilers

3.00 Credits

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

Covers the basic topics in compiler design including lexical analysis, syntax analysis, error handling, symbol tables, intermediate code generation, and some optimization. Programming assignments will build various pieces of a compiler for a small language. Prerequisite: CSC 416 requires prerequisites of CSC 220 and CSC 240 and CSC 241, and CSC 231 or CSC 242.

CSC 417: User Interfaces

3.00 Credits

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

This course deals with database-driven graphical user interface applications. The Model-View-Controller software paradigm is used as a guiding principle for the applications developed. The course features applications using Java-based components as well as web-based components with a modern server-side scripting language such as PHP. Most of the course work is based on developing a complex, large scale web database system with the goal of implementing this system within a web application framework. Prerequisite: CSC 417 requires prerequisites of CSC 241

CSC 418: Modern Web Applications Using Server-Side Technologies

3.00 Credits

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

This course provides training in the area of building web applications using Node.js (with Express, and MongoDB) for the back-end and EJS for the front-end user interface. JavaScript has been a client-side script programming language until later in 2009 when Google combined its V8 search engine with Node.JS. Since then, JavaScript has become a full-stack scripting language from the client-side to the server-side. Starting from building a web site without programming, students will be guided with hands-on labs and develop a website using Node.JS and EJS for the front-end. Prerequisite: CSC 418 requires a prerequisite of CSC 240.

CSC 466: Distributed and Parallel Computing

3.00 Credits

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

This course introduces students to modern distributed platforms by examining several important technologies in the areas of parallel and distributed computing and how these technologies help in solving computational and data-intensive problems. Students will apply specific trade-offs for parallel application and algorithms development, performance, and management on different distributed platforms. Prerequisite: CSC 466 requires prerequisites of CSC 231 and CSC 241.

CSC 471: Modern Malware Analysis

3.00 Credits

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

This course will introduce students to modern malware analysis techniques through lectures and hands-on interactive analysis of real-world samples, including exploring various recent attacks. These examples and studies will help the students develop a foundation and a well-rounded view of cybersecurity research. Participants in the course will also read and discuss research papers, as well as conducting an independent project in a topic related to cyber risk and malware analysis. After taking this course students will be equipped with the skills to analyze advanced contemporary malware using both static and dynamic analysis. Prerequisite: CSC 471 requires prerequisites of CSC 231 or CSC 242, and CSC 302.

CSC 472: Software Security

3.00 Credits

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

This course is primarily aimed at people interested in software security, reverse engineering, and low-level software. In this course, students will explore the foundations of software security. They will consider important software vulnerabilities and attacks that exploit them--such as buffer overflows, SQL injection, and session hijacking--and they will consider defenses that prevent or mitigate these attacks, including advanced testing and program analysis techniques. Prerequisite: CSC 472 requires prerequisites of CSC 231 or CSC 242, and CSC 302.

CSC 476: Game Development

3.00 Credits

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

This project-based course is concerned with game development and scripting using a modern game engine, such as Unity, with a modern programming language, such as C#. Topics include coding standards, design principles, debugging, game loops, physics engines, lighting, meshes, colliders, databases for persisting data, game lobbies, networked multiplayer games, and building for multiple resolutions and platforms. Individual and team-based assignments will utilize version control. Prerequisite: CSC 476 requires a prerequisite of CSC 241.
