Software Engineering

• In this class, I led work on a web app with a group of 7 other students for the entire semester, periodically giving presentations and meeting multiple times a week.

• Issues involved in developing large-scale software systems. 

• Models for the software lifecycle; techniques and tools of analysis, design, programming, testing, debugging, and maintenance. 

• May include formal methods, CASE, expert systems, case studies. 

Data Abstraction

• Abstract data types and their implementation in an object-oriented environment. 

• Axiomatic systems describing the classical computer science data structures: stacks, queues, lists, trees, graphs, and the like. 

• Analysis of the computational complexity of alternative implementation strategies in the context of the typical algorithmic applications. 

Functional Languages

• An introduction to functional programming. 

• Functional composition, recursion, and iteration. 

• Procedure and data abstraction using functions. 

• Managing state, streams, delayed evaluation, and continuations. 

• Using functional languages as an analytic notation for reasoning about programs. 

• Solution of several laboratory problems. 

Computer Design

• A study of computer organization and design including emphasis on logical design, the role of performance, the structure of instructions, computer arithmetic, processor control, and methods of performance enhancement. 

• Some attention towards assembly programming.
