Prerequisites: COMSC 220, COMSC 230The objective of the course is to introduce the basic conceptsof artificially intelligent systems. Topics include knowledgerepresentation, search strategies, control, and patternrecognition. Formal logic, natural language understanding, and''expert'' systems are covered along with their applications inscience, medicine, and mathematics. Special attention is given tofundamental AI representation and problem-solving techniques.An introduction to expert system ''shells'' and other AI languagesis provided.

Prerequisites: COMSC 210, COMSC 220 or COMSC 340Students with COMSC 320 are not eligible to take this course except forgrade replacementExamines problems which arise when limited machine resourcesmust be shared among many contending processes; the softwareand hardware solutions which have been devised to address theseproblems; the algorithms and data structures used to implement diskfiles systems, memory management, multiple concurrent processes,and inter-process communications. Also considers efficiencyand security issues, as well as the relationship between machinearchitecture and system software design.

Prerequisites: COMSC 220 or COMSC 340, COMSC 230, COMSC 240 orCOMSC 335Students with COMSC 310 are not eligible to take this course except forgrade replacementExamines the design and implementation of compilers as anapplication of algorithms, data structures, and formal language theoryin a software engineering context. The lexical analysis, parsing, code generation, and optimization of programs written in a blockstructuredlanguage are used to illustrate many concepts from earliercourses. Students implement a translator for a subset of a well-knownprogramming language.

Prerequisites: COMSC 210, COMSC 220, COMSC 230This course provides experience in the integration of math, science,engineering and computer science principles into a comprehensivecomputer science client-based design project. Open-ended problemsemphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to total system designproviding multiple paths to a number of feasible and acceptablesolutions that meet the stated performance requirements. Designteams are required to generate alternatives, make practicalapproximations, perform appropriate analysis to support the technicalfeasibility of the design and make decisions leading to an optimizedsystem design.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: COMSC 490A continuation of Integrated Senior Design I, students will be expectedto develop a working prototype. Working closely with a faculty advisor,student teams will conduct periodic review presentations for theirclient ensuring the design meets the clients' needs and expectations.The course objectives include the delivery of a successful project to theclient by the end of the semester.

Students must register for lecture and lab.In all other cases, students must complete the Core science coursedescribed below.This interdisciplinary course explores the most significant ideas ofphysics, chemistry, geology and biology in an attempt to answer thequestions: How does order emerge in nature? How does the humanspecies fit into this natural order? In the laboratory, students learnhands-on to apply concepts such as Newton's laws of motion, thelaws of thermodynamics, the wave nature of light, photosynthesisand the carbon cycle, food chains and ecosystems, natural selectionand evolution. Using these concepts, we can critically examine keyissues affecting our world today, such as global warming and geneticengineering. Discussion of these issues will shed light on the threeCore questions: Who am I? What can I know? Given what I know,how should I act?

This course investigates the roots of current democratic thoughtthrough the study of a selection of seminal texts from the CoreHistory Canon, a collection including primary source material datingfrom classical Greece and Rome to the present. Faculty may enrichthis exposition through a variety of multi-disciplinary sources suchas scholarly analyses, films and documentaries, and works of theimagination including literature and art.

3.00 Credits
A study of "the individual in society," this course draws from areassuch as literature, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and biology,first to demonstrate the idea that multiple perspectives and framesof reference broaden our understanding of the same behavior,and second, to propose a model for critical thinking about humanbehavior in general. Students explore the limitations of a singlepoint of view and the benefits of information derived from multiplevantages as they consider key existential questions: Who am I?What can I know? And, based on what I know, how should I act?Readings include classic and contemporary works in the socialsciences as well as literary works such as Ibsen's An Enemy of thePeople. Requires essays, group projects, and encourages attendanceat co-curricular events.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the examined life through three basic questionsthat shape human experience: Who am I? What can I know? What should I do? Readings, discussions, and questions foster criticalreflection and emphasize connections not only between literatureand philosophy but also among disciplines such as art, history,psychology, and in response to philosophical and literary works.Currently Plato's Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito, are commonreadings.
