basic functions, and the services provided by the operating system. An introduction to coding
languages is provided. Finally, the course provides students with the ability to create simple
scripts/programs to automate and perform simple operations.

The purpose of this course is an in-depth exploration of data security controls and techniques.
This course will examine theoretical concepts of network security implementation. This course
will examine network security tools and techniques and include hands-on practical applications.
Networking has enabled the emergence of mobile and cloud computing, creating one of the most
important technological paradigm shifts in computing of the past decade. Coming advancements
in wireless networking are expected to transform the technological landscape over the next
decade by enabling an endless possibility of new applications, including the Internet of Things
and wireless virtual reality, through the emergence of wireless networks with gigabit speeds. In
order to play a role in this era of new network-powered advancements, students must have a
thorough understanding of emerging networking topics, especially in the wireless domain.

This course introduces a systematic approach to programming. Specifically, this course teaches
students to use Python to solve real world problems. By the end of the course, students will be
able to construct a program from a series of instructions in Python.

Students will learn throughout this course the overall market around the Internet of Things (IoT),
the expansive quantity globally, the technology used to build these kinds of devices, how they
communicate, how they store data, and the kinds of distributed systems needed to support them.
Students will further understand and appreciate the role big data, cloud computing and data
analytics in a typical IoT system. This course will also explore the basics of modern Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and some of the representative applications of AI, as well as exposing students
to the basic ideas, challenges, techniques, and problems in AI.

This course introduces the integration of communication skills essential for effective reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college level. In this writing intensive course, students develop composition skills to produce collegiate-level papers modeling rhetorical modes and thematic content in addition to strategies for reading complex texts; presentation skills for personal introductions, verbal summaries of readings and response writings, and peer review of papers; and basic technological skills for word processing, e-mail, and introductory-level online research.

In this course students will apply the practices for effective reading and writing introduced in ENG 114 to the distinctive language and forms of various disciplines. This course lays the foundation for academic and professional research and stresses the use of appropriate and effective information sources. Readings for a variety of academic audiences will provide students with strategies to communicate in the sciences, business and technology, psychology, liberal studies, and the social sciences. Research and documentation skills appropriate to the disciplines are stressed. In addition to leading students through the research process from start to finish, this course will examine the many ramifications of academic honesty.
Prerequisite: ENG 114

Selected readings in fiction, poetry, and drama introduce the student to literary types and techniques. These readings provide a basis for collegiate-level discussion, analysis, and the development of critical judgment. Building on the communications and research skills from earlier courses in the sequence, this course emphasizes continued practice in writing, and students complete a documented research paper using primary and secondary sources as one of the course writing assignments. Discussions and oral presentations based on assigned literature support the overall goal of the sequence: to enhance the advancement of the students, first academically and then professionally.
