Enhances students’ Java programming skills and prepares them to successfully obtain professional certifications. The course teaches advanced object-oriented concepts such as inheritance and polymorphism and applies them to the Java programming language so that students can gain a better understanding of interfaces & abstract classes. Other important aspects covered are concurrency (threads), generics, inner classes and exceptions. Prerequisite(s): IT150, IT200 Credits: 3

Introduces Human-Computer Interaction, the philosophy of designing user interfaces, available design techniques and methodologies, various interaction styles, available design guidelines and user interface management systems. Usability and accessibility of user interfaces is then examined and several usability evaluation methods are analyzed. Prerequisite(s): IT100, IT150, IT320 Credits: 3

Introduces basic concepts and methods of artificial intelligence from a computer science perspective. Emphasis will be placed on the selection of data representations and algorithms useful in the design and implementation of intelligent systems. The course will contain an overview of AI languages like Prolog and Lisp, and some discussion of important applications of artificial intelligence methodology. Prerequisite(s): IT150, IT160, MATH200 Credits: 3
