Students will gain extensive hands-on lab experience in this area and will be prepared to take the Microsoft MCSE exam for Windows.
This is a course on the networking of computers, oriented toward a Network+ certification. Topics that will be explored include protocols, topologies, architecture, routers, hubs, bridges, repeaters, frame relay, packet switching, network topologies, and configurations and troubleshooting.
CIS 110 Computer Information Systems , or equivalent experience.
CIS 145Special Topics in Cybersecurity1-3
This is an independent study course in special topics in cybersecurity where students work independently with a faculty member to identify a research topic of the student’s choosing. The course requires much more discipline than a normal course because it does not meet regularly. This independent study course permits the student to explore a specific issue or topic in cybersecurity or to work independently to develop a specific skill competency under the direction of a faculty mentor. Student may earn from one to three credits depending on the complexity of the project or time involved in developing the competency.
This course provides the fundamentals of programming that support a multi-tiered, client/server, database-driven, E-business and E-commerce web site. Technologies that are discussed and applied include xHTML, Dynamic HTML, JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), XML, XSL, VBScript, Active Server Pages (ASP), shopping carts, auction sites and security.
Topics in this survey include personal and professional issues of information security, risk management, firewalls, anti-malware, intrusion protection, access control, encryption, and general vulnerabilities of computer systems. The focus is on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
This is a management information course for business students emphasizing the why, the what, and the how of information systems. Topics include: the role of information systems, emerging hardware and software technologies, and the role of the Internet in business. Emphasis is placed on the solution of real world problems faced by managerial end users through the use of advanced spreadsheet design and analysis.
This is a second course in programming using Visual Basic. Emphasis is on the object-oriented approach to application development. The full object oriented capabilities of Visual Basic are covered including the use of abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. ADO.NET is used to create applications that connect to SQL Server databases. Web page development using ASP.NET is introduced. The emphasis is on programming business solutions.
Introduction to fundamentals of database management systems, techniques for database design, and principles of database administration. Course emphasizes data modeling (E-R and UML), database design, database application development, and database management. Topics include conceptual models; logical models; normalization; SQL, architectures such as centralized, distributed and client/server; database integrity; database security; error recovery; and concurrency control. Students develop their own individual database applications.
This course provides the student with the fundamentals of system administration in both the Microsoft Windows Server and Linux environments. Through a combination of lecture and hands-on labs, the student will gain experience in the design, implementation, and maintenance of systems infrastructure. An emphasis on organizational information security planning will provide a foundation for future exploration of highly complex tasks.
This course examines the principles, mechanisms, and implementation of network security and data protection. Students learn about IT industry-wide security topics, including communication security, infrastructure security, cryptography, access control, authentication, external attack, and operational and organization security. The content of this course prepares the student for industry certifications.
This course provides real-world, hands-on experience and covers testing in all modern infrastructures, operating systems, and application environments. It is designed to teach methodologies, tools and techniques required to perform comprehensive computer penetration tests.
This course is designed to guide the student through the evolution of a system, an analysis of the present flow of information, and the specifications, selection, and implementation of information processing systems. It concentrates on methods, techniques, and tools used to determine information requirements in a business environment. The course uses both Data Flow Diagrams and Unified Modeling Language to graphically represent systems.
This course presents methods to properly conduct a computer forensics investigation, beginning with a discussion of ethics while mapping to the objectives of the International Association of Computer Investigative Specialists (IACIS) certification. Student should have a working knowledge of hardware and operating systems to maximize their success on projects and exercises throughout the course.
