only)
Developing Applications provides an introduction to the
Java TM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE). It is
intended for students who have a good working
knowledge and understanding of the Java 2 Platform,
and need to have an introduction to the J2EE platform.

Networking and Internet Services
(Concentration course for Computer Science students
only)
This course is intended to provide students with the
knowledge necessary to understand and identify the
tasks involved in supporting networks. It is a course
designed to provide an overview of networking concepts
and how they are implemented in a Windows
environment. The focus of the students will be on
performing desktop and server installation and
configuration tasks, as well as network and operating
system management tasks. The TCP/IP protocol suite,
essential network security concepts, including

Business Systems Analysis
(Concentration course for Computer Science students
only)
From problem definition and planning to project
proposals and systems design, this course gives students
a thorough understanding of the entire Systems
Development Life Cycle. Replete with both “hard” and
“soft” skills, this semester long course builds a sound
strategy for analyzing business processes and
demonstrates how to apply concepts and practical
techniques within the context of an experiential learning
environment. Students emerge from this course with a
firm base of systems foundations as well as a greater
understanding that doing the right things is just as
important as doing things right. Students will also learn
how to document requirements in both business and
systems use case diagrams using the Unified Modeling
Language (UML)

VB.NET Programming
(Concentration course for Computer Science students
only)
The goal of this course is to provide our students with
the knowledge and skills needed to develop Microsoft
.NET‐based applications by using Visual Basic .NET. The
course begins by providing a look at the different
components of the .NET framework Next, the basic
building blocks of the VB.NET language including
variables, conditionals and looping are discussed
followed by details on how to use fields, properties,
methods, classes, and namespaces.
Object‐oriented features found in VB.NET are also
covered so that students understand how to control
concepts such as inheritance, method overriding,
interfaces, and object hierarchies. After covering the
fundamentals of VB.NET, the course introduces files and
arrays, ADO.NET data access technologies, by
demonstrating how to leverage these technologies in
Windows Forms.
