The goal of this program is for you to learn the intellectual concepts and skills that are part of advanced work in computer science. This program will explore how to build computer systems and how they can be broken. It is designed for advanced computer science students and anyone with a strong interest in computer science and how to apply it to other disciplines.
The program covers a selection of topics, which include Networking, Operating Systems, Web Applications, Network Security, Application Security, and Data Science. Some topics link together into threads. The Systems thread includes Networking, Cloud Computing, and Operating Systems. The Security thread covers Network Security and Application Security.
In the winter, topics will be Networking (4 credits), Cloud Computing (4 credits), and Operating Systems (4 credits).
In spring, topics will be Network Security (4 credits), Web Applications (4 credits), Application Security (2 credits), and Data Science (2 credits).
We will explore these topics via lectures, programming labs, workshops, homework exercises, and mini-projects. Application Security will be run as a seminar, with students presenting their work.
More advanced students may consider replacing topics with an optional one- or two-quarter project. Students interested in this option should discuss it with faculty prior to the start of the quarter.
Students needing another 4 credits of advanced computer science might consider the Comparative Programming Languages course.
Registration
Students are expected to have coursework in discrete math, computer architecture, data structures, and one year of computer programming. These prerequisites are covered by completion of Computer Science Foundations and Data Structures and Algorithms, or equivalent courses elsewhere. Please contact faculty if you have some but not all of the prerequisites to see if there are parts of the program you can take, or if you are unsure if you meet the prerequisites.
Signature Required
Students should email the faculty member, Richard Weiss (weissr@evergreen.edu) with a brief statement describing how they have met the prerequisites.
