CSC 411: Research Project: (6 Units)

The students should carry out a research work on a computer-based or related problems which
should be structured to have five chapters: chapter one – Introduction, chapter two- Literature
Review, chapter three – Analysis and Design, chapter four - Implementation and Documentation,
and chapter five - Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations, followed by Reference, Appendix
A – Program code; and appendix B – sample outputs. The students should be able to write a sizable
code in the course of their research. The oral defense must be power point slide presentation.

CSC 412: Software Engineering: (3 Units) (2+1+0)

design for re-use, using APIS: API programming, class browsers and related tools, component
based computing. Software tool and environment: requirements analysis and design modeling,
tools, testing tools, tools integration mech.

CSC 413: Operating System II: (2 Units) (2+0+0)


Comparative: states and states diagram structures, dispatching and context switching,
interrupts, concurrent execution, mutual exclusion, and some solution deadlock, models and
mechanisms (semaphores and monitors e.t.c), producers-consumers problems and
synchronization. Multiprocessor issues. Scheduling and dispatching, memory management:
overlays, swapping and partitions, paging and segmentation placement, and replacement
policies, working set and thrashing, caching.

CSC 414: Artificial Intelligence: (3 Units)(2+0+1)


Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, understanding natural languages, knowledge based
representation, expert systems, pattern recognition, the language Lisp and Prolog.

Practical Section
A student must pass a practical course to be administered in the computer laboratories which
will emphasize on the implementation of the programming constructs taught in the class before
he or she will pass the course. The aim is to encourage students’ ability to solve problems
related to the programming language taught and to increase the entrepreneurial skills of the
students.

CSC 415:Cybercrime and Cyber security: (2 Units) (2+0+0)

activities and international organization, legal response, effect of cybercrime/cyber security in
human endeavors e.g. business, healthcare, introduction to ethical hacking.

Practical Section
A student must pass a practical course to be administered in the computer laboratories which
will emphasis the implementation of ethical hacking and security flaws in applications and
operating systems taught in the class before he or she will pass the course. The aim is to
inculcate in students’, the skills of becoming an ethical hacker as well equipping them with
introductory skills to cyber security.
